Expression of E-Cadherin and N-Cadherin in the Endocervix as a Predictive Factor in Patients with Endometrial Cancer.

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecological malignancy. This study aimed to evaluate the expression of E-cadherin and N-cadherin in primary endometrial lesions and the endocervix in patients with EC to identify noninvasive predictive factors. In this single-center retrospective study, data on 101 patients who underwent surgery for EC were collected.

Caffeine and the anticonvulsant potency of antiepileptic drugs: experimental and clinical data.

Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethylxanthine) is the most commonly ingested stimulant in the world. The daily consumption of this methylxanthine in coffee, tea and soft drinks is approximately 200 mg per person, which yields a pharmacologically active blood concentration. Experimental data indicate that caffeine may either lower the convulsive threshold in experimental models of epilepsy or induce seizure activity in doses over 400 mg/kg in rodents.
