Where there is smoke, there is fire.
The ankle-brachial index (ABI), a ratio of systolic blood pressure measured at the ankle and the brachial artery, is a simple noninvasive screening test used to diagnose peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD affects over 12 million people in the United States and its prevalence increases with increasing age (1,2). Patients with an abnormal ABI, defined as 0.90 or 1.40, are at increased risk of...
متن کاملCancer Stem Cells (CSCs) in Lung Cancer
The cancer stem cell model for tumor progression is the first model of its type to suggest that only one subpopulation of cancer cells is capable of proliferating indefinitely. These cells resemble normal stem cells in their capacity for self-renewal and multi-potential differentiation, and can both initiate and maintain tumors. The prevailing names for these cells are “cancer stem cells (CSCs)...
متن کاملCancer stem cells (CSCs), cervical CSCs and targeted therapies
Accumulating evidence has shown that cancer stem cells (CSCs) have a tumour-initiating capacity and play crucial roles in tumour metastasis, relapse and chemo/radio-resistance. As tumour propagation initiators, CSCs are considered to be promising targets for obtaining a better therapeutic outcome. Cervical carcinoma is the most common gynaecological malignancy and has a high cancer mortality ra...
متن کاملIf there's smoke, is there fire?
As we read through the medical literature, we are always looking for the “hottest” new advances (jumping right into the smoke/fire analogy thing): basic science that gives us new mechanistic insights, clinical trials that confirm or reject our so-called insights, major new diagnostic and therapeutic options, and breakthrough technology. We are a lot like forest rangers, sitting up on a platform...
متن کاملCombination antibiotic therapy with macrolides in community-acquired pneumonia: more smoke but is there any fire?
F or an extremely common disease, the optimal therapy of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains surprisingly controversial. A good example of the differences in opinion is the contrast between the recent guidelines of the American1 and British2 thoracic societies with respect to their recommendations on classification of severity and choice of empiric antibiotics. Several retrospective stud...
