background: and purpose: back injury in nurses is one of the most common healthcare problems. the chronic low back pain leads to several problems including varying degrees of disability, impact on activities of daily life, physical and emotional problems, and serious impact on the quality of life. the purpose of this study was to assess the quality of life of nursing staff with chronic nonspeci...

Proper immunostimulation ("push") and immune checkpoint blockade ("release") are both critical for the efficacy of anticancer immunotherapy. We have recently shown that activating Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) while specifically blocking signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in leukemic cells enhances their immunogenicity, allowing for CD8+ T cell-mediated tumor eradication. ...

  Nonspecific activity-related arm pain is characterized by an absence of objective physical findings and symptoms that do not correspond with objective pathophysiology. Arm pain without strict diagnosis is often related to activity, work-related activity in particular, and is often seen in patients with physically demanding work. Psychological factors such as catastrophic thinking, symptoms of...

Investigation of urinary markers as indices of endogenous nitrosation and of gastric cancer etiology has been a major focus of our work. As part of this effort, studies have been carried out on a Colombian population at high risk for gastric cancer. In this group, nitrosoproline excretion was highly correlated with nitrate excretion in the subpopulation with advanced gastric pathology, but not ...

Biological response modifiers improve the body's ability to fight cancer by immunostimulation. Although a century has passed since the first attempt was made to stimulate the host immune system against cancer, only the past decade has witnessed the scientific use of biological response modifiers. Recent advances in tumour immunology have enabled the development of specific agents targeted again...
