AbstractBackgroundHip fractures are associated with diminished quality of life
and survival especially amongst the elderly.ObjectiveAll‐cause mortality after
hip fracture was investigated to assess its magnitude.MethodsA total of 122 808
participants from eight cohorts in Europe and the USA were followed up for a
mean of 12.6 years, accumulating 4273 incident hip fractures and 27 999 deaths.

Abstract.Blood vessels nourish organs with vital nutrients and oxygen and, thus,
new vessels form when the embryo needs to grow or wounds are to heal. However,
forming new blood vessels is a complex and delicate process, which,
unfortunately, is often derailed. Thus, when insufficient vessels form, the
tissue becomes ischaemic and stops to function adequately. Conversely, when
vessels grow excessi... hiện toàn bộ

Diabetes mellitus as a prothrombotic conditionJournal of Internal Medicine - Tập 262 Số 2 - Trang 157-172 - 2007
Peter J. Grant
Abstract.Diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by fasting hyperglycaemia and a
high risk of atherothrombotic disorders affecting the coronary, cerebral and
peripheral arterial trees. The risk of myocardial infarction (MI) is 3‐5 fold
higher in Type 2 DM and a DM subject with no history of MI has the same risk as
a non‐DM subject with a past history of MI. In total around 70% of deaths are

Immunomodulation by mesenchymal stem cells and clinical experienceJournal of Internal Medicine - Tập 262 Số 5 - Trang 509-525 - 2007

AbstractMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from adult marrow can differentiate in
vitro and in vivo into various cell types, such as bone, fat and cartilage. MSCs
preferentially home to damaged tissue and may have therapeutic potential. In
vitro data suggest that MSCs have low inherent immunogenicity as they induce
little, if any, proliferation of allogeneic lymphocytes. Instead, MSCs appear to
be immu... hiện toàn bộ
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease increases risk of incident advanced chronic kidney disease: a propensity‐matched cohort studyJournal of Internal Medicine - Tập 286 Số 6 - Trang 711-722 - 2019

AbstractBackgroundAs the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
escalates, understanding its potential impact on the development of chronic
kidney disease (CKD) is needed.ObjectiveTo determine the longitudinal
association of NAFLD with the development of advanced CKD in the United

VEGFA and tumour angiogenesisJournal of Internal Medicine - Tập 273 Số 2 - Trang 114-127 - 2013
Lena Claesson‐Welsh, Michael Welsh
AbstractIn this review we summarize the current understanding of signal
transduction downstream of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and its
receptor VEGFR2, and the relationship between these signal transduction pathways
and the hallmark responses of VEGFA, angiogenesis and vascular permeability.
These physiological responses involve a number of effectors, including
extracellular signa... hiện toàn bộ
Constitutive RET tyrosine kinase activation in hereditary medullary thyroid cancer: clinical opportunitiesJournal of Internal Medicine - Tập 266 Số 1 - Trang 114-125 - 2009
Andreas Machens, Kerstin Lorenz, Henning Dralle
Abstract.The ground‐breaking discovery of genotype–phenotype relationships in
hereditary medullary thyroid cancer has greatly facilitated early prophylactic
thyroidectomy. Its timing depends not solely on a positive gene test but, more
importantly, on the type of the REarranged during Transfection (RET) mutation
and its underlying mode of RET receptor tyrosine kinase activation. In the past
decade... hiện toàn bộ
