Article Abstract

The main aim of this study was to check the application of ploidy related parameters for differential diagnosis between solar keratosis, Bowen's disease and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. 10 specimens of normal epidermis, 68 solar keratoses, 50 cases of Bowen's disease and 10 squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) were stained with Feulgen and their ploidy status was evaluated with a CAS200 image analyzer. Significant and highly significant differences between groups investigated not only for 5c exceeding rate, but also for the ratios of diploid, aneuploid, tetraploid, octaploid and 16-ploid cells are demonstrated. With respect to ploidy associated parameters solar keratosis is closer related to SCC of the skin than Bowen's disease. These findings are in accordance with a higher risk of progression to SCC inspite of a generally lower degree of atypia.

Background: In the DISCOMS (DISCOntinuation of disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) in multiple sclerosis (MS)) randomized clinical trial, we could not demonstrate that discontinuing MS DMTs in older, stable adults was not inferior to continuing DMTs. Relapses were rare in both groups, and most new disease activity was one to two new brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions unassociated with clinical changes.

Objective/aims: Describe results of the DISCOMS extension study.

Objective: We derive and validate D-RISK, an electronic health record (EHR)-driven risk score to optimize and facilitate screening for undiagnosed dysglycemia (prediabetes + diabetes) in clinical practice.

Research Design And Methods: We used retrospective EHR data (derivation sample) and a prospective diabetes screening study (validation sample) to develop D-RISK. Logistic regression with backward selection was used to predict dysglycemia (HbA1c ≥5.

Regional blood flow within the brain is tightly coupled to regional neuronal activity, a process known as neurovascular coupling (NVC). In this study, we demonstrate the striking role of SUR2- and Kir6.1-dependent ATP-sensitive potassium (K) channels in control of NVC in the sensory cortex of conscious mice, in response to mechanical stimuli.

Background: The ACS-NSQIP Colectomy-Targeted database provides valuable metrics on surgical outcomes by utilizing clinical data to enhance quality improvement efforts. However, the quality measures offered in the ACS-NSQIP semiannual report do not stratify for the indication for colectomy. We aim to compare postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing colectomy for colon cancer, infectious causes, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
