Although ibrutinib-associated atrial and ventricular arrhythmias have been well described, there is little information about ibrutinib's effects on other electrocardiographic parameters, particularly the QT interval. Using our database of 137 patients treated with ibrutinib, we retrospectively identified 21 patients in whom an electrocardiogram (EC...

Noninvasive tools for the prognosis of α-fetoprotein negative hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are urgently needed. The present study proposed a prognostic system based on preoperative plasma prothrombin time and fibrinogen (PT/Fbg system). With respect to α-fetoprotein (AFP)-negative HCC, we compared the prognostic value in PT/Fbg system, Glasgow Pr...

Several statistical-based approaches have been developed to support medical personnel in early breast cancer detection. This article presents a method for feature selection aimed at classifying cases into categories based on patients' breast tissue measures and protein microarray. The effectiveness of this feature selection strategy was evaluated a...

Glioblastoma (GBM), the most common and aggressive brain tumor in adults, shows resistance to treatment, particularly radiotherapy. One method for effective treatment is using a group of radiosensitizers that make tumor cells responsive to radiotherapy. A class of molecules whose expression is affected by radiotherapy is the microRNAs (miRNAs) that...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a subgroup of small noncoding RNAs, play critical roles in tumor growth and metastasis. Accumulating evidence shows that the dysregulation of miRNAs is associated with the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the molecular mechanism by which miR-942-3p contributes to HCC remains undocumented. The association b...

Recent metabolic and genetic research has demonstrated that risk for specific histological types of lung cancer varies in relation to cigarette smoking and obesity. This study investigated the spatial and temporal distribution of lung cancer histological types in Kentucky, a largely rural state with high rates of smoking and obesity, to discern pop...
