Investigating the Relationship between FGF2 Gene Expression and Airway Remodeling in Severe Asthma.

Severe asthma causes chronic airway inflammation and structural changes in the bronchial wall. Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) plays an inflammatory role in specific pathways in airway remodeling in asthma. Assessing the relationship between sputum pattern, bronchial thickness by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan, and FGF2 expression level can evaluate the role of FGF2 in asthma remodeling.

The Comparison of the Advantages of Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy versus Postoperative Chemoradiotherapy: Outcomes in Esophageal Cancer Patients.

Background And Objectives: Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common type of cancer worldwide. For the treatment of which, surgical intervention alone or with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy is recommended. In this study, we aimed to compare the benefits of neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy versus postoperative chemoradiotherapy.
