Venous thromboembolism associated with severe dyspnea and asthma in 21,205 adults from the Danish population.

Background: Long-term consequences after a pulmonary embolism include lung function deficits, dyspnea, and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Recent studies suggest patients who experience pulmonary embolism may also be at increased risk of asthma.

Methods: We tested the hypothesis that individuals with pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis (venous thromboembolism) have lower lung function, or higher risks of dyspnea and asthma using data from 21,205 random adults from the Danish General Suburban Population Study.

Predicting Axillary Metastasis of Breast Cancer Patients with MRI Relaxometry.

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. Accurate staging, including the detection of axillary metastases, is vital for treatment planning. This study evaluates the efficacy of MRI relaxometry as a diagnostic tool for axillary lymph node metastases in breast cancer patients.

New perspective on DNA response pathway (DDR) in glioblastoma, focus on classic biomarkers and emerging roles of ncRNAs.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent type of primary brain cancer, having a median survival of only 15 months. The current standard of care includes a combination of surgery, radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy with temozolomide, but with limited results. Moreover, multiple studies have shown that tumour relapse and resistance to classic therapeutic approaches are common events that occur in the majority of patients, and eventually leading to death.
