Radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy is recommended for stage Ia2-Ib1 cervical cancer while parametrial involvement (PI) is rare. Our aim was to evaluate criteria to select women with low risk of PI that could benefit from simple hysterectomy. Factors associated with low risk of PI were analyzed in a series of 37 patients with stage Ia2-Ib1 cervical cancer undergoing radical hysterec...

INTRODUCTION Tyrosine kinase inhibitors gefitinib, erlotinib, and afatinib have been compared with chemotherapy as first-line therapies for patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer harboring epidermal growth factor receptor-activating mutations. This meta-analysis compares gefitinib, erlotinib, afatinib, and chemotherapy. METHODS Literature search was performed using relevant keyword...

OBJECTIVE All patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer do not need to undergo parametrectomy. Some low-risk criteria for parametrial involvement (PI) have been proposed based on pathological findings. The aim of this study was to determine pretreatment risk factors for PI in stage IB1 cervical cancer. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 115 patients with stage IB1 cervical cancer who underwent...

Protease inhibitor (PI) may cause abnormal glucose metabolism, abnormal lipid metabolism, and metabolic syndrome in HIV-infected adults but less well studied in Asian adolescents. This cross-sectional study evaluated anthropometric factors, oral glucose tolerance test, and lipid profiles of perinatally HIV-infected Thai adolescents who had received PI-based antiretroviral therapy for at least 6...

BACKGROUND The perfusion index (PI), derived from the pulse oximetry signal, has been shown to be an accurate predictor for identifying high illness severity in neonates. The plethysmographic variability index (PVI) is a measure of the dynamic change in PI occurring during a complete respiratory cycle. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to establish the reference range of PVI in spontaneous...

We conducted a cross sectional study of the outpatient medical records of 1000 HIV-infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in 2011 to determine the incidence of clinically significant drug interactions (CSDI). The severities of the CSDI were graded following the Micromedex" 2.0 database and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) 2012 HIV treatment guidelines. Three ...

A general linear singular boundary value problem dxi dt = Pi(t) · x3−i + qi(t) (i = 1, 2), xi(τk+)− xi(τk−) = Gi(k) · x3−i(τk) + hi(k) (i = 1, 2; k = 1, 2, . . .); li(x1, x2) = ci (i = 1, 2) is considered, where Pi ∈ Lloc(]a, b[ ,Rni×n3−i), qi ∈ Lloc(]a, b[ ,Ri), Gi : {1, 2, . . .} → Rni×n3−i , hi : {1, 2, . . .} → Ri , ci ∈ Ri , and li is a linear bounded operator (i = 1, 2). The singularity i...

BACKGROUND The effect of metformin, pioglitazone and sitagliptin on β-cell function in the treatment of type 2 diabetes is controversial. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to obtain a better understanding in the β-cell effects of metformin, pioglitazone and sitagliptin. METHODS We searched Pubmed and the Cochrane Center Register of Controlled Trials to identify rel...
