Abstract

Solitary pulmonary lesions (SPLs) in patients with a history of malignancy require not only the distinction between benign and malignant, but also that between metastatic and primary lesions. We aim to establish the clinical strategy for the treatment of a solitary pulmonary lesion that is detected during the postoperative surveillance for gastric cancer. We retrospectively examined the clinical records of the patients who underwent curative resection for gastric cancer between January 1999 and December 2009. Patients who were diagnosed with solitary pulmonary lesion during the postoperative surveillance underwent pulmonary resection, and were reviewed with regard to their histological diagnosis and prognosis. Out of a total of 1017 patients who underwent gastric resections during this period, 13 patients with solitary pulmonary lesion underwent pulmonary resection. These tumors were shown to be eight primary lung cancers, four metastatic tumors (three from gastric cancer) and one benign nodule. Of the eight patients with primary lung cancer, seven remained alive after pulmonary resection, including one liver metastasis case, and the other died without recurrence. In contrast, the other three patients with metastasis from gastr...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.
