BACKGROUND The usefulness of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria for prediction of cardiovascular outcomes is controversial. We aimed to assess the addition of creatinine-based eGFR and albuminuria to traditional risk factors for prediction of cardiovascular risk with a meta-analytic approach. METHODS We meta-analysed individual-level data for 637 315 individuals witho...

OBJECTIVE We sought to compare incidences of psychiatric disorders between pediatric patients with psoriasis and psoriasis-free control subjects. METHODS Patients (<18 years) with continuous health plan enrollment 6 months before and after first ps...

Dysregulation in patterns of alternative RNA splicing in cancer cells is emerging as a significant factor in cancer pathophysiology. In this study, we investigated the little known alternative splice isoform survivin-3B (S-3B) that is overexpressed in a tumor-specific manner. Ectopic overexpression of S-3B drove tumorigenesis by facilitating immune escape in a manner associated with resistance ...
