Endoscopic laser photodestruction is regarded not only as an independent procedure of treatment but primarily as an important and effective component of combined therapy of lung cancer. Direct-contact destruction of carcinoma of the bronchus and distal segment of the trachea has been performed using YAG:Ne lasers in 32 cases. The procedure has proved highly effective, especially, in combination with radiation therapy. Lysis of tumor in areas remote from the exposed one has been observed. It is suggested that endoscopic laser treatment of tumors offers considerable advantage.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is complex in pathogenesis and related to aging biology, especially in late-onset AD. We identified a novel synthetic curcumin analog TML-6 through the platform of 6 biomarkers of anti-aging, anti-inflammation, and anti-Aβ as the potential AD drug candidate. TML-6 exhibits multi-target effects on AD pathogenesis, including the activation of NrF-2, the regulation of autophagic machinery through mTOR, the inhibition of APP synthesis and reduction of Aβ, the upregulation of ApoE, and the inhibition of microglial activation.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD) is rising, and primary care providers (PCPs) will increasingly play a role in its detection. We developed an evidence-based intervention to facilitate cognitive evaluation in primary care. We then implemented it as a set of web-based trainings which were combined with specific tools embedded in the electronic health record (EHR) for PCPs to use in their practices.
