5G Technology: Why Should We Expect a shift from RF-Induced Brain Cancers to Skin Cancers?

Tumor-specific antigens and tumor-specific mutant proteins in mouse and man.

The modern era of cancer immunology began with the discovery that inbred mice could be immunized against cancers that had been induced by chemical carcinogens such as the polycyclic hydrocarbon methylcholanthrene (MCA) [1-4]. Particularly, studies of Prehn and Main in 1957 made it highly unlikely that the antigens on the cancers were also widely expressed on normal tissue. It was shown that nor...

Orthotopic Liver Transplantation for Etanercept-Induced Acute Hepatic Failure; a case report

The occurrence of hepatotoxicity following etanercept (tumor necrosis factor-alpha antagonist) prescription, has been studied well. However, an acute hepatic failure leading to liver transplant as an adverse effect of this drug has not been reported in the literature. In this article, we are going to present a case of acute liver failure followed by liver transplantation, in a 32 years old man ...
