MicroRNA expression profiling to identify and validate reference genes for relative quantification in colorectal cancer
(Biomed Central, 2010)
Background
Advances in high-throughput technologies and bioinformatics have transformed gene expression profiling methodologies. The results of microarray experiments are often validated using reverse transcription ...
Incidental findings on MRI scans of patients presenting with audiovestibular symptoms
(Biomed Central, 2010)
Background:The evaluation of patients presenting with audiovestibular symptoms usually includes MRI of the internal auditory meatus, the cerebellopontine angle and the brain. A significant percentage of these scans will ...
miR-379 Regulates Cyclin B1 Expression and Is Decreased in Breast Cancer
(2013)
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that control gene expression post-transcriptionally, and are known
to be altered in many diseases including breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the relevance ...
Modern management of pyogenic hepatic abscess: a case series and review of the literature
(BioMed Central, 2011-03)
Background
Pyogenic hepatic abscesses are relatively rare, though untreated are uniformly fatal. A recent paradigm shift in the management of liver abscesses, facilitated by advances in diagnostic and interventional ...
Representation of Cancer in the Medical Literature - A Bibliometric Analysis
(2010-10)
Background:There exists a lack of knowledge regarding the quantity and quality of scientific yield in relation to individual cancer types. We aimed to measure the proportion, quality and relevance of oncology-related ...
Breast cancer research output, 1945-2008: a bibliometric and density-equalizing analysis
(BioMed Central, 2010-12)
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, with an estimated 194,280 new cases diagnosed in the United States in 2009 alone. The primary aim of this work was to provide an in-depth evaluation ...
The Sodium Iodide Symporter (NIS) and Potential Regulators in Normal, Benign and Malignant Human Breast Tissue
(2011-01)
Introduction: The presence, relevance and regulation of the Sodium Iodide Symporter (NIS) in human mammary tissue remains poorly understood. This study aimed to quantify relative expression of NIS and putative regulators ...
Endoscopic resection of nasopharyngeal angiofibroma: The role of radio-frequency coblation
(PagePress, 2011-08-29)
Nasopharyngeal angiofibromas are histologically benign but locally aggressive vascular tumors that can result in major morbidity and mortality. They exclusively affect adolescent male and are rare in patients older than ...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) and cancer: tumour specific delivery vehicles or therapeutic targets?
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2010-09-30)
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a subset of nonhematopoietic multipotent cells found primarily within the bone marrow stroma. The ability of MSCs to specifically home to sites of tumors and their metastases, while escaping ...
Screening of exosomal microRNAs from colorectal cancer cells
(IOS Press, 2017-01-03)
BACKGROUND: Cells release extracellular membrane vesicles including microvesicles known as exosomes. Exosomes contain microRNAs (miRNAs) however the full range within colorectal cancer cell secreted exosomes is unknown.OBJECTIVE: ...
