Abstract

Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder in hospitalized patients, and it might be an indicator of poor prognosis and might have negative effects on hospitalization length and quality of life in non-malignant as well as in malignant diseases. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of hyponatremia on the length and on the cost of hospitalization as well as on outcome in cancer patients. The present study includes 105 consecutive cancer patients hospitalized at our institution from June 2013 to December 2013. Data regarding age, sex, staging, histology, chemotherapy, and serum sodium levels at admission, during hospitalization, and at discharge were recorded and statistically analyzed. Impact of hyponatremia on length and cost of hospitalization and on outcome was evaluated. A significant difference in overall survival since the date of admission was observed between eunatremic and hyponatremic patients (p = 0.0255). A statistically significant correlation was also found between the length of stay and the detection of hyponatremia. At multivariate analysis, hyponatremia at admission, severity of hyponatremia, and stage of disease resulted independent prognostic factors. Furthermore, a patient with moderate o...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
