UnknownWeekly docetaxel and gemcitabine in previously treated metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Aim

To assess the efficacy and safety of weekly docetaxel plus a fixed-dose rate (FDR) of gemcitabine in metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).

Methods

A multi-center, open-label, prospective phase II study was designed. Thirty-three esophageal SCC patients with document...

ProteomicsnextPP for chromosome-based proteomic research using neXtProt and GENCODE databases
In this study, we introduce a streamlined pipeline using customized and concatenated GENCODE and neXtProt databases with controlled false discovery rate (FDR) for finding GENCODE ASVs and missing proteins while mapping onto single amino acid variants (SAAVs) from Hippocampal dataset.

UnknownLiraglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes.

Background

The cardiovascular effect of liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 analogue, when added to standard care in patients with type 2 diabetes, remains unknown.

Methods

In this double-blind trial, we randomly assigned patients with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk t...

UnknownPsychiatric disorders converge on common pathways but diverge in cellular context, spatial distribution, and directionality of genetic effects.
Psychiatric conditions share common genes, but mechanisms that differentiate diagnoses remain unclear. We present a multidimensional framework for functional analysis of rare copy number variants (CNVs) across 6 diagnostic categories, including schizophrenia (SCZ), autism (ASD), bipolar disorder (BD...

UnknownRelationship Between Severity of Ischemia and Coronary Artery Disease for Different Stress Test Modalities in the ISCHEMIA Trial.

Background

The relationship between the extent and severity of stress-induced ischemia and the extent and severity of anatomic coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with obstructive CAD is multifactorial and includes the intensity of stress achieved, type of testing used, presence and ex...

UnknownInitial Invasive or Conservative Strategy for Stable Coronary Disease.

Background

Among patients with stable coronary disease and moderate or severe ischemia, whether clinical outcomes are better in those who receive an invasive intervention plus medical therapy than in those who receive medical therapy alone is uncertain.

Methods

We randomly assigned 51...

UnknownGenetic variation at CYP3A is associated with age at menarche and breast cancer risk: a case-control study.

Introduction

We have previously shown that a tag single nucleotide polymorphism (rs10235235), which maps to the CYP3A locus (7q22.1), was associated with a reduction in premenopausal urinary estrone glucuronide levels and a modest reduction in risk of breast cancer in women age ≤50 years.

UnknownGenome-wide association analysis of more than 120,000 individuals identifies 15 new susceptibility loci for breast cancer.
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and large-scale replication studies have identified common variants in 79 loci associated with breast cancer, explaining ∼14% of the familial risk of the disease. To identify new susceptibility loci, we performed a meta-analysis of 11 GWAS, comprising 15,748 br...

UnknownPolygenic prediction of body mass index and obesity through the life course and across ancestries.
Polygenic scores (PGSs) for body mass index (BMI) may guide early prevention and targeted treatment of obesity. Using genetic data from up to 5.1 million people (4.6% African ancestry, 14.4% American ancestry, 8.4% East Asian ancestry, 71.1% European ancestry and 1.5% South Asian ancestry) from the ...

UnknownGenetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function.
Reduced glomerular filtration rate defines chronic kidney disease and is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), combining data across 133,413 individuals with replication...
