This article explores careers that require CPR training because of their job responsibilities. Medical and Healthcare Industry Professionals Fundamentally, professionals in the medical and healthcare ...
Tumors and Blood Vessel Growth Tumor, as an abnormal mass of cells, has blood vessels of various sizes that can be seen everywhere on the surface and deep within it. Nutrients for life are continuously supplied to the depths of tumor cells through these blood vessels. As the tumor continues to grow, nearby blood vessels also undergo rapid and chaotic growth, with these newly formed capillaries ...

Lung cancer is a major type of cancer in the world, with the highest morbidity and mortality among all malignant tumors. ALK-positive non-small cell lung cancer (ALK+ NSCLC) is a relatively rare and dangerous subtype, with patients suffering from a high incidence rate of brain metastases. Statistics show that about 55% of ALK-positive advanced NSCLC patients will develop brain metastases during ...
Abstract Background Cancer genomic signatures may vary using different platforms. We compared the differential gene expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) between two platforms in order to find the most relevant genomic signatures of tumor recurrence. Materials and Methods We analyzed gene expression in frozen lung cancer tissue from 59 selected patients who had undergone surgical ...
Abstract Background: Five-year survival for stage I-II lung cancer is quite low even after complete surgical resection. Current guidelines recommend adjuvant treatment only for selected patients with stage II or higher disease. A prediction model that identifies patients at high risk of recurrence who may benefit from adjuvant treatment is greatly needed. Many existing prediction models include ...
A study conducted under the Lung Cancer Master Protocol (Lung-MAP) found that when treated with a combination of ramuzumab (Cyramza) and Keytruda, Patients with advanced NSCLC whose cancer progressed during prior immunotherapy lived significantly longer than when treated with one of the current standard therapies for this cancer. The hazard ratio (80% confidence interval) for overall survival ...
In the developed world, 1 in 4 people die from cancer or cancer-related disease, and cancer accounts for 13% of deaths globally. Oncology is the fastest growing therapeutic area by revenue and number of clinical trials. There’s been a huge emphasis on developing new treatments to improve survival in patients with cancer, but these trials have become a costly undertaking for sponsor ...
At an academic conference on Feb 15, U.S. experts announced the world's first female AIDS "cure," making it the third case of HIV infection to be cured. After therapy and withdrawal of antiviral drugs, HIVs were not identified in the patient's body for more than 14 months, indicating that the virus was in complete remission, according to academics. The key to this patient's recovery was a blood ...
RNA is a hydrophilic, negatively charged macromolecule, and its ability to autonomously transmembrane is limited. Therefore, how to efficiently deliver mRNA to the cytoplasm and play a corresponding role is one of the key issues that limit the application of RNA therapy. The wide range of applications of therapeutic mRNA requires efficient and safe delivery methods. An ideal delivery system ...
Revolutionizing breast cancer detection Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women in the United States and the second leading cause of cancer death in American women.1 It is also treatable if detected early enough. While there are various cancer detection modalities available, current breast imaging devices fail to expose as much as 35% of breast cancers and that number increases to ...
The world is in the midst of a pandemic and the economic woes are being felt around every corner, including our patients and our clinics. Times are changing and consumer patterns will forever be altered. Gone are the times of densely crowded waiting rooms to see the doctor! Enter, the “boutique” style clinic that sees less patients, provides superior cleanliness and gets faster more ...
Sepsis reportedly affects up to 30 million people each year. Lactate levels play a key role in diagnosing the condition and limiting its impact, as well as researching it's progression and developing possible treatments. Here's how. Sepsis is a medical condition and emergency, the definition of which has proven difficult and is based on fairly recent developments and research. It is the result ...
A trial involving ovarian cancer patients at Guildford’s Royal Surrey Hospital (UK) has found they have a higher chance of having all the tumour removed when undergoing surgery using argon plasma. ...
Summary: In treating brain cancers, neurosurgeons face a critical decision: remove too little tissue and risk fatal recurrences or remove too much and cause profound neurological damage. Presently, they rely on pre-operative surgical navigation technologies, such as MRI, in order to determine the contours of the cancerous tissue to be safely removed. These surgical navigation systems, in ...
A fibre-optic probe can detect errant cancer cells within healthy tissue during brain tumour surgery with close to 100 per cent accuracy and sensitivity, reducing the risk of recurrence and thereby increasing a patient’s survival time, say the Canadian researchers who developed the device. The hand-held, pen-like instrument, known as a Raman spectroscopy probe, is able to differentiate ...
Allocation of pre-hospital EMS (Emergency Medical Service) resources and effectiveness of emergency medical training are critical to patients. The demands for EMS are expected to increase in the future. By analysing the relationship between emergency response and the survival rates, the effectiveness of EMS resources and competence of personnel were evaluated. In other words, the current EMS ...
