Journal ArticleDOI

Performance Status, Prognostic Scoring, and Parenteral Nutrition Requirements Predict Survival in Patients with Advanced Cancer Receiving Home Parenteral Nutrition.

TL;DR: Performer status, prognostic scoring, and PN requirements may predict survival in patients with advanced cancer receiving HPN, and survival was not significantly affected by the presence of metastatic disease, previous or concurrent surgery, chemo-radiotherapy, or indication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defective tumor necrosis factor release from Crohn's disease macrophages in response to Toll-like receptor activation: relationship to phenotype and genome-wide association susceptibility loci.

TL;DR: This study supports the hypothesis of defective proinflammatory cytokine secretion and an innate immunodeficiency in CD, which is evident downstream of multiple TLRs, affects all disease phenotypes, and is unrelated to 34 polymorphisms associated with CD by GWAS.

Delayed resolution of acute inflammation in ulcerative colitis is associated with elevated cytokine release downstream of TLR4.

TL;DR: A dysregulated innate immune response with over-expression of molecules associated with leukocyte recruitment and activation that may eventuate in the hallmark chronic immune-mediated inflammation of UC is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diminished Macrophage Apoptosis and Reactive Oxygen Species Generation after Phorbol Ester Stimulation in Crohn's Disease

TL;DR: These findings add to a growing body of evidence highlighting disordered macrophage function in CD and, given their pivotal role in orchestrating inflammatory responses, defective apoptosis could potentially contribute to the pathogenesis of CD.
