Journal ArticleDOI
Endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration of mediastinal lymph node in patients with suspected lung cancer after positron emission tomography and computed tomography scans.

TL;DR: EUS-FNA is a safe, accurate, and minimally invasive technique that improves the staging of patients with NSCLC and was more accurate and had a higher positive predictive value than the PET or CT scan in confirming cancer in the posterior mediastinal lymph nodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dosimetric factors associated with long-term dysphagia after definitive radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
Jimmy J. Caudell,Philip E. Schaner,Renee A. Desmond,Ruby F. Meredith,Sharon A. Spencer,James A. Bonner +5 more
TL;DR: Doses to the larynx and pharyngeal constrictors predicted long-term swallowing complications, even when controlled for other clinical factors, and the addition of these structures to intensity-modulated radiotherapy optimization may reduce the incidence of dysphagia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene transfer to ovarian cancer versus normal tissues with fiber-modified adenoviruses.
Anna Kanerva,Minghui Wang,Gerd J. Bauerschmitz,John T. Lam,Renee A. Desmond,Snehal M. Bhoola,Mack N. Barnes,Ronald D. Alvarez,Gene P. Siegal,David T. Curiel,Akseli Hemminki +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified version of Ad5 called Ad5/3luc1 and Ad5lucRGD were used for gene transfer to primary ovarian cancer cells and in a mouse model of ovarian cancer.
Journal Article
Free-living activity energy expenditure in women successful and unsuccessful at maintaining a normal body weight
Roland L. Weinsier,Gary R. Hunter,Renee A. Desmond,Nuala M. Byrne,Paul A. Zuckerman,Betty E. Darnell +5 more
TL;DR: The general US population should increase their daily physical activity levels to decrease the rising prevalence of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Free-living activity energy expenditure in women successful and unsuccessful at maintaining a normal body weight.
Roland L. Weinsier,Gary R. Hunter,Renee A. Desmond,Nuala M. Byrne,Paul A. Zuckerman,Betty E. Darnell +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared total free-living activity energy expenditure (AEE) and physical activity level in women successful and unsuccessful at maintaining a normal body weight, and found that a lower AEE in the gainers explained approximately 77% of their greater weight gain after 1 y.
