TL;DR: These risk factors initially found to be significant were body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolicBlood pressure, non-white race (African-American and other), clinical center, and smoking and should aid in understanding the pathophysiologic characteristics of this syndrome.

TL;DR: Eight virus isolates that were nonpathogenic in ducks replicated and transmitted efficiently to naïve contacts, suggesting that highly pathogenic H5N1 viruses causing minimal signs of disease in ducks can propagate silently and efficiently among domestic and wild ducks in Asia and that they represent a serious threat to human and veterinary public health.
Abstract: Wild waterfowl are the natural reservoir of all influenza A viruses, and these viruses are usually nonpathogenic in these birds. However, since late 2002, H5N1 outbreaks in Asia have resulted in mortality among waterfowl in recreational parks, domestic flocks, and wild migratory birds. The evolutionary stasis between influenza virus and its natural host may have been disrupted, prompting us to ask whether waterfowl are resistant to H5N1 influenza virus disease and whether they can still act as a reservoir for these viruses. To better understand the biology of H5N1 viruses in ducks and attempt to answer this question, we inoculated juvenile mallards with 23 different H5N1 influenza viruses isolated in Asia between 2003 and 2004. All virus isolates replicated efficiently in inoculated ducks, and 22 were transmitted to susceptible contacts. Viruses replicated to higher levels in the trachea than in the cloaca of both inoculated and contact birds, suggesting that the digestive tract is not the main site of H5N1 influenza virus replication in ducks and that the fecal-oral route may no longer be the main transmission path. The virus isolates' pathogenicities varied from completely nonpathogenic to highly lethal and were positively correlated with tracheal virus titers. Nevertheless, the eight virus isolates that were nonpathogenic in ducks replicated and transmitted efficiently to naive contacts, suggesting that highly pathogenic H5N1 viruses causing minimal signs of disease in ducks can propagate silently and efficiently among domestic and wild ducks in Asia and that they represent a serious threat to human and veterinary public health.

01 Sep 2017TL;DR: This tutorial will review major drug disposition processes relevant for mAbs, and will highlight product‐specific and patient‐specific factors that modulate their pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior and need to be considered for successful clinical therapy.
Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have developed in the last two decades into the backbone of pharmacotherapeutic interventions in a variety of indications, with currently more than 40 mAbs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, and several dozens more in clinical development. This tutorial will review major drug disposition processes relevant for mAbs, and will highlight product-specific and patient-specific factors that modulate their pharmacokinetic (PK) behavior and need to be considered for successful clinical therapy.

TL;DR: Guiding principles for the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of early-stage endometrial carcinoma are discussed as well as evidence for these recommendations.
Abstract: Endometrial carcinoma is a malignant epithelial tumor that forms in the inner lining, or endometrium, of the uterus. Endometrial carcinoma is the most common gynecologic malignancy. Approximately two-thirds of endometrial carcinoma cases are diagnosed with disease confined to the uterus. The complete NCCN Guidelines for Uterine Neoplasms provide recommendations for the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma. This manuscript discusses guiding principles for the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of early-stage endometrial carcinoma as well as evidence for these recommendations.
