Abstract

Cancer patients, especially those with lung cancer and undergoing chemotherapy, have an elevated risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). This study assessed incidence, timing, and risk factors for VTE (specifically receipt of chemotherapy), along with the association between VTE and survival among lung cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Using Florida Medicaid administrative claims data (2000-2008), patients with any diagnosis of primary lung cancer were selected. Patients with recent prior VTE and those enrolled in Medicare or an HMO were excluded. Crude rates of VTE per 100 person years were estimated, and Cox proportional hazards models were developed to assess risk factors for VTE in the lung cancer population, and the association between VTE and survival among patients undergoing chemotherapy. Of 15,749 lung cancer patients, 7,052 (2,242 receiving chemotherapy and 4,810 not receiving chemotherapy) met cohort selection criteria. The incidence of VTE was 10.8 per 100 person-years (PYs) in the chemotherapy cohort and 6.8 per 100 PYs in the non-chemotherapy cohort. Among patients on chemotherapy developing VTE, median time to occurrence was 109 days, with 61 and 82 % of patients experiencing an event within six and 12 month...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.
