Soluble adhesion molecules in ischaemic heart disease

Soluble adhesion molecules in ischaemic heart disease.

Soluble adhesion molecules in immune mediated liver disease.

Prognostic significance of soluble adhesion molecules in Hodgkin's disease.

BACKGROUND Cell adhesion may play a pivotal role in the development, progression and metastasis of solid malignancies. We evaluated the serum concentration of four adhesion molecules and their prognostic significance in patients with Hodgkin's Disease (HD). PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum samples from 20 HD patients were collected at diagnosis, after 3 cycles of chemotherapy and at completion of t...

Soluble adhesion molecules and prediction of coronary heart disease: a prospective study and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that circulating concentrations of soluble adhesion molecules are useful predictors of risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Larger studies are needed, however, to test this hypothesis. METHODS We measured serum concentrations of four soluble cell adhesion molecules (intercellular adhesion molecule-1 [ICAM-1], vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 [VCAM-...

BLOOD PRESSURE COMPONENTS AS PREDICTORS OF ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE MORTALITY IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND

The relative importance of systolic blood pressure (SBP) versus diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in predicting the risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality is controversial. We have re-examined SBP compared to D BP and other combinations of SBP and D BP in predicting the risk of IHD mortality in a long-term cohort study oflO,541 men and women in the West of Scotland. During a mean fo...
