Prognostic Score Including Gene Mutations in Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia
Purpose Several prognostic scoring systems have been proposed for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), a disease in which some gene mutations—including ASXL1—have been associ...
Measuring the Psychological Outcomes of Falling: A Systematic Review
The objectives were to identify fall‐related psychological outcome measures and to undertake a systematic quality assessment of their key measurement properties. A Cochrane revi...
Enabling a robust scalable manufacturing process for therapeutic exosomes through oncogenic immortalization of human ESC-derived MSCs
Abstract Background Exosomes or secreted bi-lipid vesicles from human ESC-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hESC-MSCs) have been shown to reduce myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in...
Identification of gene expression profiles that predict the aggressive behavior of breast cancer cells.
With the goal of identifying genes that have an expression pattern that can facilitate the diagnosis of primary breast cancers (BCs) as well as the discovery of novel drug leads...
The 12,460-Year Hohenheim Oak and Pine Tree-Ring Chronology from Central Europe—A Unique Annual Record for Radiocarbon Calibration and Paleoenvironment Reconstructions
The combined oak and pine tree-ring chronologies of Hohenheim University are the backbone of the Holocene radiocarbon calibration for central Europe. Here, we present the revise...
Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Bilateral Lung Volume Reduction Surgery to Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Several uncontrolled studies report improvement in lung function, gas exchange, and exercise capacity after bilateral lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS). We recruited 200 pati...
Earth Structure from Free Oscillations and Travel Times
An extensive set of reliable gross Earth data has been inverted to obtain a new estimate of the radial variations of seismic velocities and density in the Earth. The basic data ...
The six-minute walking test in children with cystic fibrosis: Reliability and validity
There is a need to judge general exercise tolerance in children with cystic fibrosis (CF) under normal daily activity conditions and -when more extensive testing is required-in ...
