TL;DR: It is shown that basic fibroblast growth factor, TGF β1, and PDGF BB inhibit IGFBP-5 expression in Ob cells independently of their mitogenic activity and through mechanisms that involve decreased transcription.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that through relationships with practices, patients, and community resources, these liaisons successfully facilitated patients' behavior change and may fill a gap in promoting healthy behaviors in primary care practices.

TL;DR: This study identifies this tumor to be of astrocytic lineage, with temporal lobe predilection, and overall a longer survival rate than glioblastoma multiforme.
Abstract: Giant-celled glioblastoma multiforme is characterized by bizarre multinucleated giant cells with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm, paucity of vascular endothelial proliferation, and increased reticulin fibers. It is considered by Rubinstein to be a variant of glioblastoma multiforme and by Zulch to be of mesenchymal origin. We studied retrospectively ten cases of giant-celled glioblastoma to correlate clinical and pathological features including immunohistochemistry and ultrastructure, radiology and survival time. Seven men and three women ranging in age from 23-75 years had variable clinical presentations and well defined lesions on computed tomography (eight patients). Well-defined at surgery, the tumor was located in temporal (six patients), frontal (three patients), and parieto occipital (one patient) lobes. Besides characteristic histology, glial-fibrillary acidic protein was positive in all, along with intracytoplasmic fibrils on electron microscopy. Three patients died within 3 days of surgery. Of the surviving seven treated with radiation and/or chemotherapy, three had a survival time of more than 36 months and four less than 15 months. Our study identifies this tumor to be of astrocytic lineage, with temporal lobe predilection, and overall a longer survival rate than glioblastoma multiforme.

TL;DR: Although laparoscopic RYGB after antireflux surgery is technically difficult and carries higher morbidity, it is feasible and effective in the treatment of recurrent GERD in morbidly obese patients.
Abstract: Background
We present a case of a morbidly obese patient with previous laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (LNF) who was successfully treated by revision to a laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and discuss our collective experience.

TL;DR: Results indicate that passive AMD and MWW co-treatment is a viable ecological engineering approach for the developed and developing world that can be optimized and applied to improve water quality with minimal use of fossil fuels and refined materials and suggest that the nitrogen processing community may require an extended period to mature and reach full efficiency.
