Article Synopsis
- Epidural analgesia may help improve survival rates after gastric cancer surgery, but this study found no significant differences in recurrence or survival between patients who received epidurals and those who did not.
- The study analyzed data from 2,745 patients aged 66 and older who underwent surgery for nonmetastatic gastric carcinoma between 1996 and 2005, focusing on factors like recurrence and median survival time.
- Results showed similar rates of treated recurrence (25.6% overall) and median survival times (28.1 months for epidural vs. 27.4 months for nonepidural), suggesting that further research is needed to confirm these findings.
Blocking Rac1 function in precursors of the indirect flight muscle of Drosophila severely disrupts muscle formation. The DLM fibers that develop using larval scaffolds are reduced in number and fiber size, while the DVMs, which develop using founder cells, are mostly absent. These adult muscle phenotypes are in part due to a reduced myoblast pool present at the third larval instar.
