A Kallikrein 15 (KLK15) single nucleotide polymorphism located close to a novel exon shows evidence of association with poor ovarian cancer survival
Abstract Background KLK15 over-expression is reported to be a significant predictor of reduced progression-free survival and overall survival in ovarian cancer.Our aim was to analyse the KLK15 gene for putative functional single nucleotide Hardware Accessories polymorphisms (SNPs) and assess the association of these and KLK15 HapMap tag SNPs with o
How I do it: transapical cannulation for acute type-A aortic dissection
Abstract Aortic dissection is the most frequently diagnosed lethal disease of the aorta.Half of all patients with acute type-A aortic dissection die within 48 hours of presentation.There is still debate as to the optimal site of arterial cannulation for establishing cardiopulmonary bypass in patients with type-A aortic dissection.Femoral artery can
