Does the plasma endothelin-1 concentration reflect atherosclerosis in the elderly?
There were no significant relationships between echocardiographic findings and ET-1 in elderly subjects without overt heart failure. However, in patients with a history of hypertension, measuring ET-1 may be useful for estimating the extent of atherosclerosis.
For AYA patients with thyroid SMNs, having a prior AYA PM (compared to a pediatric PM), Black race, and having three or more independent tumors predicted a decreased OS, independent of PM type or PM/SMN stage.
