(2013-03-28)The study aims to assess the feasibility of tomotherapy-based image-guided (IGRT) radiotherapy for locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer. A retrospective review of 33 patients undergoing concurrent chemoradiation for locally ... -
The effect of race and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease on long-term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting
(2013-04)Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a known predictor of decreased long-term survival after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Differences in survival by race have not been examined. Methods: ... -
Molecular mechanisms of peripheral nerve regeneration: Emerging roles of microRNAs
(2013-04-01)microRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that suppress gene expression through target mRNA degradation or translation repression. Recent studies suggest that miRNA plays an important role in multiple physiological and pathological ... -
