Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) patients face a highly infiltrative and metastatic disease characterized by poor survival rates and suboptimal response to available therapies. We have previously shown that sensitization of ACC tumors to chemotherapy using histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) constitutes a promising therapeutic strategy to manage tumor growth. Here, we used patient-derived xenografts (PDX) from ACC tumors to evaluate the effects of in vivo administration of the HDAC inhibitor Entinostat combined with Cisplatin over tumor growth.

Heart transplantation is the standard of therapy for patients with end-stage heart disease. Since the first human-to-human heart transplantation, performed in 1967, advances in organ donation, surgical techniques, organ preservation, perioperative care, immunologic risk assessment, immunosuppression agents, monitoring of graft function and surveillance of long-term complications have drastically increased recipient survival. However, there are yet many challenges in the modern era of heart transplantation in which immunosuppression may play a key role in further advances in the field.

Objective: Self-administered non-invasive therapies with high-fluoride dentifrices are an attractive alternative to traditional restorative management of root carious lesions (RCLs), but the available evidence is still scarce, particularly in community-dwelling elders. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to compare the effectiveness of toothbrushing with 5,000 ppm versus 1,450 ppm fluoridated dentifrice (F- dentifrice) on preventing and arresting RCLs, in community-dwelling elders.
Methods: A two years double-blinded RCT was carried out with 345 independently-living older adults, with at least one tooth with RCL.

Methods: This prospective study was drawn from a cohort of adult patients with unruptured AVMs, who participated in the conservative treatment arm (medical management only for headache or seizures) of the randomized clinical trial of unruptured brain AVMs (ARUBA study). The grade of AVMs (Spetzler-Martin scale) was dichotomized into categories: AVMs of grades I and II were considered low grade; AVMs of grades III and IV were considered high grade.
