ith RALS may account for decreased costs in this setting.

Smoking is a known risk factor for postoperative mortality and morbidity. However, the significance of cumulative smoking dose in preoperative risk assessment has not been established. We examined the influence of preoperative cumulative smoking dose on surgical outcomes after lobectomy…[Read more]

The role of stroma is fundamental in the development and behavior of epithelial tumors. In this regard, limited growth of squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) or cell-lines derived from them has been achieved in immunodeficient mice. Moreover, lack of faithful recapitulation of the original human neoplasia complexity is often observed in xenografted…[Read more]

Thus, we believe that care should be taken with these animals to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2 among animal and human populations.Endocrine systems act as key intermediaries between organisms and their environments. This interaction leads to high variability in hormone levels, but we know little about the ecological factors that influence this…[Read more]

long term following could be collected only in 39.4% of cases. Major Adverse Cardiologic and Cerebral Events (MACCE) occurred in 30.71% controlled patients. Free-MACCE survival was 52.9% at 5. Initially total arterial bypass grafting was superior to other configurations in free-MACCE survival (p=0.036) but we lost significance beyond 5-years…[Read more]

The programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) plays a key role in glioma development. However, due to the specificity of glioma’s anatomical position, the role of its expression as a tumor biomarker is limited. It has been proven that the levels of soluble programmed death-ligand 1 (sPD-L1) are associated with prognosis in many malignancies including…[Read more]
