This study was to explore the clinical factors associated with treatment toxicities of pemetrexed plus platinum in elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Chemo-naive patients aged ≥ 70 with advanced NSCLC treated with pemetrexed plus platinum were included. Medical records were reviewed and clinical data, including age, gender, s...

Impact of the implant shape on the biomechanical performance of all-on-four treatment of dental implant is still unclear. This study evaluated the all-on-four treatment with four osseointegrated implants in terms of the biomechanical effects of implant design and loading position on the implant and surrounding bone by using both in vitro strain gau...

Published in Journal of the Formosan Medical Association = Taiwan yi zhi

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a novel treatment option for cancer therapy, which help direct the immune system to recognize and target cancer cells. ICIs have been shown to provide significant mortality benefits for cancer patients, but they are also associated with immune-mediated toxicity. Unlike most immune-related adverse events, whic...

To date, molecular typing studies on Mycoplasma pneumoniae are limited. We evaluated the molecular types of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in pediatric patients in Taiwan in 2016. We used real-time quantitative PCR on respiratory specimens to identify M. pneumoniae in children with community-acquired pneumonia. The domain V of their 23S rRNA were sequenced ...

Endoscopic management of strictures in patients with Crohn's disease - A multi-center experience in Taiwan.

Published in Journal of the Formosan Medical Association = Taiwan yi zhi

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic gastrointestinal (GI) disorder that causes relapsing inflammation and severe mucosal damage in the intestine. Crohn's disease (CD)-related stricturing complications are a major cause of surgery, disability, and reduced quality of life. Endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) has been shown to reliably delay o...
