0 | Levels of chemokine receptors expressed on peripheral blood T lymphocytes of Egyptian patients with hepatocellular carcinoma | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | CC chemokine receptors (CCR) have an important role in the recruitment of leukocytes to the site of inflammation. The migration and metastasis of tumor cells shares many similarities with leukocyte trafficking, which is mainly regulated by chemokine receptor-ligand interactions. CCR1 and CCR5 are highly expressed in he... |
0 | An evaluation of the United Kingdom National Osteoporosis Society position statement on the use of peripheral dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | A recent position statement issued by the UK National Osteoporosis Society recommends a triage approach to the use of peripheral dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (pDXA) devices. Patients with a forearm T-score greater than -1 or less than -2.5 are regarded as normal or osteoporotic, respectively, while those with a T-s... |
0 | CT arthrography of the human knee to measure cartilage quality with low radiation dose | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | Objective: Recently, CT arthrography (CTa) was introduced as a non-destructive technique to quantitatively measure cartilage quality in human knees. This study investigated whether this is also possible using lower radiation dose CT protocols. Furthermore, we studied the ability of (lower radiation) CTa to distinguish ... |
