Is recovery of psychomotor function after propofol sedation prolonged in the elderly?
Early recovery times following propofol sedation is similar between elderly and younger patients, but recovery of psychomotor function in the elderly is delayed compared with younger patients.
Immunohistochemical analysis on whole-mount tissue slides revealed that ALDH1A1 is more abundantly expressed in pancreatic cancer than initially reported by a tissue microarray analysis. Moreover, high expression of ALDH1A1 correlated significantly with the proliferation of tumour cells. Intriguingly, this study is the first which identifies low expression of ALDH1A1 as an independent adverse prognostic marker for overall survival in pancreatic cancer.
