No-treatment approach may be best choice for older prostate cancer patients
Older prostate cancer patients with other underlying health conditions should think twice before committing to surgery or radiation therapy for their cancer, according to a multi-center study led by researchers from the UCLA Department of Urology. The study reports 14-year survival outcomes for 3,000 men diagnosed with prostate cancer between 1994 and 1995. The results suggest that older patients with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer who have at least three underlying health problems, or comorbidities, are much more likely to die of something other than their cancer. "For men with low-to-intermediate...

Prevalence and Predictors of Gaps in Care Among Adult Congenital Heart Disease Patients HEART-ACHD (The Health, Education, and Access Research Trial)
ConclusionsAdult CHD patients have gaps in cardiology care; the first lapse commonly occurred at age ∼19 years, a time when transition to adult services is contemplated. Gaps were more common among subjects with mild and moderate diagnoses and at particular locations. These results provide a framework for developing strategies to decrease gaps and address barriers to care in the adult CHD population.

As scientists learn more about processing bodies (PBs), granules present within normal cells, they are unraveling the complex role PBs play in maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating RNA metabolism and cell signaling. Emerging research is revealing how virus infection alters PBs to enhance viral replication and how, in turn, PBs are able respond and limit a virus's ability to reproduce. This novel mechanism allows PBs to contribute to the body's immune defenses, as described in an article in DNA and Cell Biology, a peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers...

The role of family background on adolescent khat chewing behavior in Jazan Region
Background: Khat is a well-known natural stimulant from the Catha edulis plant and is widely used in certain Red Sea countries, including Yemen and the province of Jazan in Saudi Arabia. Jazan is located in the southwestern part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia adjacent to Yemen, where the practice of khat chewing is deeply rooted throughout the entire population. The main objective of this paper was to assess the association between family background, i.e., parent and sibling khat use, and adolescents' khat chewing behavior in Jazan. Other variables were also tested for association, including parents' education levels, fami...

Preliminary Study of MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry-based Screening of Patients with the NSCLC Serum-Specific Peptides
Background and objective The improved survival of patients with lung cancer depends on early diagnosis of lung cancer. However, the traditional diagnostic techniques have several limitations. Mass spectrometry (MS) has been applied as a core technology for cancer diagnosis in preliminary proteomic studies. The aim of this study is to explore the differences in the serum peptide levels of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and healthy individuals using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI)-time-of-flight (TOF)-MS. A NSCLC serum classification model was then established. Methods One hundred and th...

ECG Signal Quality During Arrhythmia and Its Application to False Alarm Reduction
An automated algorithm to assess electrocardiogram (ECG) quality for both normal and abnormal rhythms is presented for false arrhythmia alarm suppression of intensive care unit (ICU) monitors. A particular focus is given to the quality assessment of a wide variety of arrhythmias. Data from three databases were used: the Physionet Challenge 2011 dataset, the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, and the MIMIC II database. The quality of more than 33 000 single-lead 10 s ECG segments were manually assessed and another 12 000 bad-quality single-lead ECG segments were generated using the Physionet noise stress test...

Ultrasound-Guided Characterization of Interstitial Ablated Tissue Using RF Time Series: Feasibility Study
This paper presents the results of a feasibility study to demonstrate the application of ultrasound RF time series imaging to accurately differentiate ablated and nonablated tissue. For 12 ex vivo and two in situ tissue samples, RF ultrasound signals are acquired prior to, and following, high-intensity ultrasound ablation. Spatial and temporal features of these signals are used to characterize ablated and nonablated tissue in a supervised-learning framework. In cross-validation evaluation, a subset of four features extracted from RF time series produce a classification accuracy of 84.5%, an area under ROC curve of 0...

THE GooseMan: A simulator for transhiatal esophagectomy
Esophageal cancer is the fastest growing cancer in the United States and the seventh leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The gold standard therapy is surgical resection commonly performed as a transhiatal esophagectomy (THE), which involves blindly dissecting the esophagus in the mediastinum through abdominal and cervical neck incisions. Compared with transthoracic esophagectomy, which requires creating a direct thoracic incision, THE has similar long-term survival but is less invasive and has fewer complications, a shorter recovery time, and decreased in-hospital mortality. Yet, morbidity and mortality from T...
