Can Significant Coronary Artery Disease Coexist With Transient Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, and How Does Spasm Interrelate?

An 86-year-old woman being treated for metastatic breast cancer developed severe chest pain at rest during a follow-up visit at a hospital's outpatient oncology clinic. An electrocardiogram showed severe ST-segment elevation. The patient was given sublingual nitroglycerin and was transferred to the emergency department.

Novel MicroRNAs regulating proliferation and apoptosis in uterine papillary serous carcinomas.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, non-coding RNA transcripts that regulate gene expression. Here, we report 175 putative novel miRNAs identified in uterine cancers profiled by Next Generation Sequencing. Our data indicate that one of these putative miRNAs (BCM-173) is conserved across multiple species and is expressed at levels similar to known human miRNAs.

The complexity of organizational change: describing communication during organizational turbulence.

Organizational researchers and practitioners have been interested in organizational change for some time. Historically, they have directed most of their efforts at improving the efficiency of planned top-down change. These efforts were strategic attempts at altering parameters leading to transformational change.

The sweet spots in human communication.

In baseball, the sweet spot is a special place on a bat where the batter can hit the ball with the most power. It is the place where the performances of the batter and pitcher collide with maximum effect. It is the place where the dynamic tension between opponents leads to transformation.

Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease: current concepts.

Immunoproliferative small intestinal disease is a distinctive lymphoproliferative disorder. Among these disorders, it is the only disease associated with a specific and characteristic abnormal protein, and also an identifiable, at least in some patients, early phase with a benign-looking histo-pathologic expression. Whether the disease at this stage is malignant or not is not known.
