Auhtors: Mulrooney TJ, Marsh J, Urits I, Seyfried TN, Mukherjee P PMID: 21479220 PMCID: PMC3068150 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0018085 Abstract Background: Many of the current standard therapies employed for the management of primary malignant brain cancers are largely viewed as palliative, ultimately because these conventional strategies have been shown, in many instances, to decrease patient quality of [...]

Auhtors: Hanahan D, Weinberg RA PMID: 21376230 DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2011.02.013 Abstract The hallmarks of cancer comprise six biological capabilities acquired during the multistep development of human tumors. The hallmarks constitute an organizing principle for rationalizing the complexities of neoplastic disease. They include sustaining proliferative signaling, evading growth suppressors, resisting cell death, enabling replicative immortality, inducing angiogenesis, [...]

Auhtors: Fearon K, Strasser F, Anker SD, Bosaeus I, Bruera E, Fainsinger RL, et al. PMID: 21296615 DOI: 10.1016/S1470-2045(10)70218-7 Abstract To develop a framework for the definition and classification of cancer cachexia a panel of experts participated in a formal consensus process, including focus groups and two Delphi rounds. Cancer cachexia was defined as a [...]

Patients and methods: We evaluated physical activity in relation to overall and PCa mortality among 2,705 men in the Health [...]

Auhtors: Wagan F, Memon GN Abstract for cesarean section, during 2003 and 2010, after a gap of 7 years and to evaluate, how the implementation of universally acceptable standards, affects rate of cesarean section without compromising maternal and fetal safety. Study Design: Comparative study. Place and Duration: Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at People's Medical [...]

Auhtors: Bartley J PMID: 21133662 DOI: 10.1586/eri.10.102 Abstract In the preantibiotic era, TB of the skin was treated successfully with UV light. By the 1920s, pulmonary TB was being treated with regular sun exposure. During the last decade, basic laboratory research into the antimicrobial actions of vitamin D has provided new insights into these historical [...]

Auhtors: Proietti S, Cucina A, D'Anselmi F, Dinicola S, Pasqualato A, Lisi E, Bizzarri M PMID: 21091766 DOI: 10.1111/j.1600-079X.2010.00824.x Abstract Melatonin and vitamin D3 inhibit breast cancer cell growth and induce apoptosis, but they have never been combined as a breast cancer treatment. Therefore, we investigated whether their association could lead to an enhanced anticancer [...]

Auhtors: Brandi ML PMID: 22460535 PMCID: PMC3213838 Abstract Many arguments are favouring a renewed interest in vitamin D physiology, with a consequent increase in the number of scientific publications and media reports (1). Not surprisingly, TIME magazine nominated vitamin D as one of the “top medical breakthroughs” in the December issue of 2007. This vigorous [...]

Auhtors: Yoo JJ, Kim HY. DOI:10.1080/20932685.2010.10593069 Abstract The goal of this study is to 1) identify the types of beauty product used and to compare the frequency with which adolescent boys and girls use them; and 2) determine types of beauty product use are significant in relation to the degree of media influence among them [...]

Auhtors: Buschemeyer WC, Klink JC, Mavropoulos JC, Poulton SH, Hursting SD PMID: 20166128 DOI: 10.1002/pros.21136 Abstract Introduction: Caloric restriction (CR) delays cancer growth in animals, though translation to humans is difficult. We hypothesized intermittent fasting (i.e., intermittent extreme CR), may be better tolerated and prolong survival of prostate cancer (CaP) bearing mice. Methods: We conducted [...]
