Cancer chemotherapy can be used depending on the cancer status either alone or in combination with surgery and/or radiotherapy. The effectiveness of chemotherapy in treatment of cancer patients is largely due to the cytostatic and cytotoxic effects of the drugs on tumor cells. Additionally, the cell cycle status of tumor cells is important in determining the effectiveness of chemotherapy becaus...

The authors examined group differences in memories for hearing the news of and reactions to the September 11 attacks in 2001. They measured memory for reception context (immediate memory for the circumstances in which people first heard the news) and 11 predictors of the consistency of memory for reception context over time (flashbulb memory). Shortly after 9/11, a questionnaire was distributed...

Background Higher educated patients with MCI can tolerate more neuropathology than lower similar clinical impairment. It is not known whether this observation also accounts for potential preclinical stages of AD, namely subjective cognitive decline plus (SCD+). Method Data 197 SCD+ individuals, 227 and 157 AD were included, which collected as part the AMYPAD-DPMS cohort (https://amypad.eu/). Fi...

PURPOSE The decline in U.S. adolescent fertility has accelerated since 2007. Modeling fertility change using behavioral data can inform adolescent pregnancy prevention efforts. METHODS We used data on sexual activity and contraceptive use from National Surveys of Family Growth for young women 15-19 years of age, and contraceptive failure rates, to estimate a Pregnancy Risk Index (PRI) for the...

Acute exposure to cigarette smoke provokes bronchoconstriction and increases the concentration of thromboxane (Tx) A2 in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of TxA2 and cholinergic mechanisms in the airway response induced by exposure to cigarette smoke in guinea-pigs. Anaesthetized animals were exposed to 200 puffs of smoke for 10 min. The ...

We recently reported that inhaled acetaldehyde causes bronchoconstriction indirectly via histamine release in patients with asthma. The purpose of this study was to investigate a role of thromboxane A2 in acetaldehyde-induced bronchoconstriction in asthmatic airways. We investigated the bronchial response to inhalation of ascending doses (5, 10, 20, and 40 mg/ml) of acetaldehyde in nine asthmat...
