Abstract Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of synovial joints. Anticitrullinated protein autoantibodies are detected by the CCP test in early disease and predict the development of erosive disease as well as extraarticular manifestations. We recently reported that many RA patients have anti-citrullinated albumin (ACA) ...
While breast cancer rates are higher among women in more developed regions, rates are increasing in nearly every region globally. The majority of patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) have hormone receptor-positive HER2-negative disease. ...
It will be listed in China in 2020, it has been approved for adjuvant therapy in HER2-positive early breast cancer patients with residual invasive lesions (non-pCR) after receiving taxane combined trastuzuab-based neoadjuvant therapy and for monotherapy in HER2-positive, unresectable locally ...
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 ...
This September marks four years since the 2018 Food and Drug Administration clearance for clonoSEQ to detect and monitor minimal residual disease (MRD) in bone marrow from patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and multiple myeloma (MM). In the years following, researchers have explored the value of using MRD status to guide treatment in blood cancers – and the mounting ...
Clinical Study Report A practice based prospective study of 31 consecutive patients (21 men, 10 women – mean age 57 years) with low back pain with or without radiculopathy. Each patient completed the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (Ver.2) and the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) – pre and post treatment. Disability assessment was based upon an absolute percentage point ...
The SIAP study investigates the effect of using Ergotrics' Inflatable Prone Support (IPS) on intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during spine surgery. Study background The objective of this study is to demonstrate the ability of the inflatable Prone Supports (IPS) to lower the IAP of patients in the prone position. Whenever the patients’ position is changed to prone, the IAP is increased due to ...
Worldwide, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer deaths in women, with over 650,000 deaths in 2020.1,2 Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-targeted agents have improved outcomes in HER2-positive breast cancer, but most patients in first-line therapy do not respond to current therapies, eventually relapse or develop ...

Background Esophagectomy for cancer involves two- or three-phase procedures, such as abdominal, chest and/or neck incisions, is more invasive than other types of gastrointestinal surgery, and is associated with high risk for postoperative morbidity. Because of this risk, perioperative management of circulatory conditions such as hypovolemic hypotension is especially important to avoid ...
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease that results in the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells and inadequate insulin secretion. Prior to the discovery of insulin in 1921, patients with T1D died within a year or two of diagnosis. Since the discovery and mass production of insulin, T1D is no longer a terminal disease. However, over time, many patients still ...

When automated dark adaptometry was first commercialized, many of us had more questions than answers with regard to using this information for detecting AMD and monitoring disease progression. But with more than seven years of practical in-office experience performing dark adaptation testing on thousands of patients, the tables have turned. This technology offers a safety net for ...
A look at the Balance Error Scoring System with force/pressure platform The Balance Error Scoring System (BESS) is a well-known tool to evaluate the effects of a head injury on static postural stability, or standing still in different positions. This protocol is often used in athletes after sport-related concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) [1]. BESS was developed by researchers ...

The long-term success of dental implant surgery is dependent, in part, on accurate planning and placement of the implant.1 Currently, there are many digital planning systems available to aid the clinician in pre-operative treatment planning, although the main challenge with these planning systems is to accurately transfer the digital plan to the clinical situation. Most systems involve taking a ...
