TL;DR: Human papillomavirus positivity was associated with improved survival in 4 subsites (oropharynx, hypopharynX, oral cavity, and larynx), and the largest survival difference was noted in the oropharynx and hypopharyx subsites.

TL;DR: PLGA-PEDF(82-121) offers greater protection to the retina suggesting that this peptide and the method of delivering therapeutically active drugs have potential clinical advantages for longer-term treatments of retinal diseases.

TL;DR: It is shown that a single transfection of small interfering RNA targeting class II transactivator attenuates major histocompatibility complex class II expression on endothelial cells for at least 4 to 6 weeks after transplantation into immunodeficient mouse hosts, suggesting that poly(amine-co-ester) nanoparticles, potentially administered during ex vivo normothermic machine perfusion of human organs, could be used to modify endothelial Cells with a sustained effect after transplanting.

TL;DR: Infection with constitutively active STAT3 gave substantial protection when compared to the other constructs, and persistent activation of STAT3 by neurotrophic factors provides strong neuroprotection and will be an effective strategy in a number of chronic retinal diseases.

TL;DR: It is found that the total diagnosed chronic HCV population grew from 983,000 to 1.19 million in 2007–2009, with patients born from 1945–1964 accounting for 75.0% of all patients, 83% of AdvLD patients, and 79.2% of costs in 2009, indicating that HCV is primarily a disease of the “baby boomer” population.
