Gerd Otto,Sascha Herber,Michael Heise,Ansgar W. Lohse,Christian Mönch,Fernando Bittinger,Maria Hoppe-Lotichius,Marcus Schuchmann,Anja Victor,Michael B. Pitton +9 more
TL;DR: Sustained response to TACE is a better selection criterion for LT than the initial assessment of tumor size or number, according to the multivariate analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staging small cell lung cancer: Veterans Administration Lung Study Group versus International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer—what limits limited disease?
Patrick Micke,Andreas Faldum,Tsegay Metz,Kai-Michael Beeh,Fernando Bittinger,Jan-Georg Hengstler,Roland Buhl +6 more
TL;DR: The IASLC staging criteria for SCLC patients have a higher prognostic impact and are therefore preferable in clinical practice and future therapeutic trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
The non-neuronal cholinergic system in humans: expression, function and pathophysiology.
TL;DR: Its biological and pathobiological roles have to be elucidated in more detail and possibly, new therapeutical targets may become available.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Non-neuronal Cholinergic System
TL;DR: In this article, the role of non-neuronal acetylcholine sensitive receptors (nicotinic, muscarinic) in the regulation of basic cell functions like gene expression, proliferation, differentiation, cytoskeletal organization, cell-cell contact (tight and gap junctions, desmosomes), locomotion, migration, ciliary activity, electrical activity, secretion and absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microcirculatory dysfunction in sepsis: a pathogenetic basis for therapy?
TL;DR: A critical appraisal of the clinical and experimental evidence for sepsis‐induced dysregulation of the microcirculation and how knowledge of the underlying cellular and molecular pathology could be used to make therapy more rational and effective is aimed at.
