Journal ArticleDOI
Acute kidney injury in patients with acute lung injury: Impact of fluid accumulation on classification of acute kidney injury and associated outcomes
Kathleen D. Liu,B. Taylor Thompson,Marek Ancukiewicz,Jay S. Steingrub,Ivor S. Douglas,Michael A. Matthay,Patrick Wright,Michael W. Peterson,Peter Rock,Robert C. Hyzy,Antonio Anzueto,Jonathon D. Truwit +11 more
TL;DR: Fluid management influences serum creatinine and therefore the diagnosis of acute kidney injury using Creatinine-based definitions, and patients who have acute kidneys injury before but not after adjusting for fluid balance have lower mortality rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
TGF-β blockade improves the distribution and efficacy of therapeutics in breast carcinoma by normalizing the tumor stroma
Jieqiong Liu,Shan Liao,Benjamin Diop-Frimpong,Wei Chen,Shom Goel,Kamila Naxerova,Marek Ancukiewicz,Yves Boucher,Rakesh K. Jain,Lei Xu +9 more
TL;DR: TGF-β blockade improved the intratumoral penetration of both a low-molecular-weight conventional chemotherapeutic drug and a nanotherape therapeutic agent, leading to better control of tumor growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Survival of Glioblastoma Patients Who Respond to Antiangiogenic Therapy with Elevated Blood Perfusion
A. Gregory Sorensen,Kyrre E. Emblem,Pavlina Polaskova,Dominique Jennings,Heisoog Kim,Marek Ancukiewicz,Meiyun Wang,Patrick Y. Wen,Percy Ivy,Tracy T. Batchelor,Rakesh K. Jain +10 more
TL;DR: MRI is used to assess tumor blood perfusion in 30 recurrent glioblastoma patients who were undergoing treatment with cediranib, a pan-VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor to offer direct clinical evidence in support of the hypothesis that vascular normalization can increase tumor perfusion and help improve patient survival.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic factors in stage T3N0 rectal cancer: do all patients require postoperative pelvic irradiation and chemotherapy?
TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of the influence of extent of tumor invasion into perirectal fat, lymphatic or venous vessel invasion, and tumor grade on the clinical course of patients with Stage T2NO rectal cancer undergoing surgery was undertaken.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery rate and prognosis in older persons who develop acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome.
E. Wesley Ely,Arthur P. Wheeler,B. Taylor Thompson,Marek Ancukiewicz,Kenneth P. Steinberg,Gordon R. Bernard +5 more
TL;DR: Although the survival rate among mechanically ventilated patients 70 years of age or older in this study was high, these patients were twice as likely to die of acute lung injury compared with the general population.
