Intracellular presence of insulin and its phosphorylated receptor in non-small cell lung cancer.

29 Nov 2009 Insulin has been known for a long time to influence the growth and differentiation of normal and transformed cells. In order to delineate the role of insulin specifically in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we have now searched by ... Read more...

Clinical outcome after 450 revascularization procedures for moyamoya disease. Clinical article.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECT: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disease mainly described in the Asian literature. To address a lack of data on clinical characteristics and long-term outcomes in the treatment of MMD in North America, the authors analyzed ... Read more...

The role of disability in explaining long-term care utilization.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: In view of aging populations, it is important to improve our understanding of the determination of long-term care (LTC) service use among the middle-aged and elderly population. We examined the likelihood of using 2 levels of LTC-homecare ... Read more...
