UnknownDecreasing trends in thyroid cancer incidence in South Korea: What happened in South Korea?

Background

South Korea has the highest incidence of thyroid cancer in the world. Our study examined the trends in thyroid cancer incidence by the histologic type, cancer stage, and age group and explored possible factors that affected thyroid cancer trends.

Methods

We conducted a desc...

UnknownNeurotherapeutic effects of Vutiglabridin as a Paraoxonase-2 modulator in preclinical models of Parkinson's disease.

Background

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor impairment resulting from the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, alongside α -synuclein (α-syn) accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative ...

UnknownEfficacy and safety of pioglitazone versus dapagliflozin as an add-on to metformin and alogliptin combination therapy: the EPIDOTE study.
We investigated the efficacy and safety of pioglitazone compared to dapagliflozin when added to metformin plus alogliptin for patients with type 2 diabetes. The patients (n = 133) were randomized to receive pioglitazone (n = 65) or dapagliflozin (n = 68) in addition to metformin and alogliptin thera...

UnknownIdentifying novel genetic variants for brain amyloid deposition: a genome-wide association study in the Korean population.

Background

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a number of genetic variants for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, most GWAS were conducted in individuals of European ancestry, and non-European populations are still underrepresented in genetic discovery efforts. Here, we p...

UnknownPrasugrel Dose De-escalation Therapy After Complex Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Post Hoc Analysis From the HOST-REDUCE-POLYTECH-ACS Trial.

Importance

De-escalation of dual-antiplatelet therapy through dose reduction of prasugrel improved net adverse clinical events after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), mainly through the reduction of bleeding without an increase in ischemic outcomes. However, whether such benefits are similarly ...

UnknownTransferability of Alzheimer Disease Polygenic Risk Score Across Populations and Its Association With Alzheimer Disease-Related Phenotypes.

Importance

Polygenic risk scores (PRSs), which aggregate the genetic effects of single-nucleotide variants identified in genome-wide association studies (GWASs), can help distinguish individuals at a high genetic risk for Alzheimer disease (AD). However, genetic studies have predominantly fo...

UnknownAssociation between the body mass index and outcomes of patients resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: a prospective multicentre registry study.

Background

The effects of the body mass index (BMI) on outcomes of patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest are controversial. Therefore, the current study investigated the association between the BMI and the favourable neurologic outcomes and survival to discharge of patients resuscitated ...

UnknownEpidemiologic and Clinical Outcomes of Pediatric Renal Tumors in Korea: A Retrospective Analysis of The Korean Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Group (KPHOG) Data.

Purpose

Renal tumors account for approximately 7% of all childhood cancers. These include Wilms tumor (WT), clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK), malignant rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (MRTK), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) and other rare tumors. We inve...
