Living with clipped wings—Patients’ experience of losing a leg
This study explores the lived experience of losing a leg as described by the patients themselves post-discharge. Studies have documented that regardless of aetiology patients are faced with severe physical as well as psychosocial challenges post-amputation. However, only few studies explore in-depth the patients' perspective on the various challenges following the loss of a leg. The study uses ...
متن کاملEpigenetic inactivation of RUNX3 in colorectal cancer
Purpose Emerging evidence indicates that runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) is an important tumor suppressor gene in several cancer types, including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the clinical significance of RUNX3 inactivation in CRC remains unclear. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between clinicopathologic factors and RUNX3 hypermethylation/expression in CRC. ...
متن کاملEpigenetic inactivation of CHFR in human tumors.
Cell-cycle checkpoints controlling the orderly progression through mitosis are frequently disrupted in human cancers. One such checkpoint, entry into metaphase, is regulated by the CHFR gene encoding a protein possessing forkhead-associated and RING finger domains as well as ubiquitin-ligase activity. Although defects in this checkpoint have been described, the molecular basis and prevalence of...
متن کاملEpigenetic inactivation of RASSF1a in uveal melanoma.
PURPOSE The RAS association domain family 1 (RASSF1) gene is a tumor-suppressor gene located on chromosome 3p21.3. The alternative transcript (RASSF1a) has been shown to be inactivated by hypermethylation in several human malignancies, including breast, prostate, and lung cancer, and in cutaneous melanoma. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the methylation status of RASSF1a in human uvea...
متن کاملBinlie! ic Inactivation of the APC Gene in Hepatoblastoma1
Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an inherited disorder caused by germline mutation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene. Increased risk of hepatoblastoma (HBL) in FAP kindreds has been re ported. To determine whether inactivation of the APC gene plays a role in development of HBL, 13 sporadic infantile hepatic tumors were analyzed for genetic alterations in the APC gene. A PCR-me...
