Is igM antibody level against proinflammatory bacterial peptidoglycan inversely correlated with extent of atherosclerotic disease?
These results show that patients suffering from atherosclerotic disease have decreased IgM levels against PGN. The data suggest that an antibody response against PGN could have a protective effect against the development or activity of atherosclerotic disease.
In this study, no differences were seen between robotic prostatectomy with regard to apical or overall margin status compared with open prostatectomy in lower risk patients. This suggests that despite improved visualization, RALP generates a similar margin status as RRP.
