Can Prealbumin, Albumin and CRP Levels be used to Predict Prognosis in Patients with Gastric Cancer
Background: The impact of systemic inflammatory response on carcinogenesis and tumor progression has recently gained much attention. Biochemical markers such as albumin, pre-albumin and C-reactive protein (CRP) are currently used to predict prognosis in several cancer types, and the usefulness of these biomarkers in gastric cancer has become an emerging topic of research. The present study aims...
متن کاملPelvic Incidence Can Be Changed not only by Age and Sex, but also by Posture Used during Imaging
OBJECTIVE Computed tomography (CT), rather than conventional 2-dimensional radiography, was used to scan and measure pelvic parameters. The results were compared with measurements using X-ray. METHODS Pelvic parameters were measured using both CT and X-ray in 254 patients who underwent both abdomino-pelvic CT and X-ray at the pelvic site. We assessed the similarity of the pelvic parameters be...
متن کاملNot only hysterectomy but also cesarean section can predict incomplete flexible sigmoidoscopy among patients with prior abdominal or pelvic surgery.

Several studies have demonstrated that individuals who have undergone surgery are at a greater risk of having incomplete FS. This study explored predictors of incomplete FS and reduced polyp detection rates for participants who had undergone abdominal or pelvic surgery. METHODS From Ja...

متن کاملSNHG6 203 and SNHG6 201 Transcripts Can be Used as Contributory Factors for a Well-Timed Prognosis and Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer
Background:Long non-coding RNAs, as a big part of non-coding RNAs, are considered functionally more than past. These transcripts could be involved in carcinogenesis. SNHG6, as a long non-coding RNA, has been reported to be expressed more in colorectal cancer tissues than non-cancerous ones. Colorectal cancer as a malignancy needs fast prognostic and diagnostic methods for well...
