Breast carcinoma detection in ex vivo fresh human breast surgical specimens using a fast slide-free confocal microscopy scanner: HIBISCUSS project. [PMID: 37178160]
BACKGROUND: New generation ultra-fast fluorescence confocal microscopy allows the ex vivo intraoperative analysis of fresh tissue. The High resolution Imaging for Breast carcInoma detection in ex vivo Specimens after breast Conserving sUrgery by hiStolog Scanner (HIBISCUSS) project aimed to develop an online learning program to recognize the main breast tissue features on ultra-fast fluorescence confocal microscopy images and to evaluate the performance of surgeons and pathologists in diagnosing cancerous and non-cancerous breast tissue in ultra-fast fluorescence confocal microscopy images. |
An update on the efficacy of anti-inflammatory agents for patients with schizophrenia: a meta-analysis. [PMID: 31439071]
BACKGROUND: Accumulating evidence shows that a propensity towards a pro-inflammatory status in the brain plays an important role in schizophrenia. Anti-inflammatory drugs might compensate this propensity. This study provides an update regarding the efficacy of agents with some anti-inflammatory actions for schizophrenia symptoms tested in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). |
Vitamin A and D intake in pregnancy, infant supplementation, and asthma development: the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort. [PMID: 29722838]
Background: Western diets may provide excess vitamin A, which is potentially toxic and could adversely affect respiratory health and counteract benefits from vitamin D. |
[Basics and clinical application of human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells]. [PMID: 26458460]
Human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) show a variety of biological characteristics. The clinical trials database provided by the National Institutes of Health, USA, contains about 400 clinical trials of MSCs for a wide range of therapeutic applications internationally (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov, key words "mesenchymal stem cells", as of April, 2015). Encouraging results from these clinical trials include evidence of efficacy against graft versus host disease (GVHD) in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Treatment for and/or prevention of engraftment failure and insufficient hematopoietic recovery have also been explored. Herein, we will address the basic principles of MSCs and the current status of clinical studies using MSCs. Future prospects for MSC-based therapy will also be discussed. |
Safe hepatectomy selection criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma patients: a validation of 336 consecutive hepatectomies. The BILCHE score. [PMID: 25217112]
BACKGROUND: Selection criteria for hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are object of debate. We presented our criteria for safe hepatectomy for HCC, and we compared the results with those obtainable using the most common scores for HCC. |
