Do levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha independently predict prognosis in patients with lymph node negative breast carcinoma?
Increased levels of HIF-1alpha were associated independently with shortened survival in patients with lymph node negative breast carcinoma. Therefore, the use of immunohistochemical assessment of HIF-1alpha as a new predictor of poor outcome may improve clinical decision-making regarding adjuvant treatment of patients with lymph node negative breast carcinoma.
LNH in the duodenal bulb was associated mainly with food allergy in children. An endoscopic examination can be used as a new method of assessing gastrointestinal food allergy and differentiating it from celiac disease and other distinct types of gastrointestinal pathology.
