Does vascular function assessed with cardiovascular magnetic resonance predict survival in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease?
Deranged vascular function measured with CMR correlates with cardiovascular risk factors and predicts outcome. CMR measures of vascular function are potential targets for interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk.
Both the distribution and the intensity of COX-2 expression correlated significantly with disease-free and overall survival in patients with invasive breast cancer. Younger patients with invasive breast cancer may have a greater percentage of COX-2 expression in their tumors.
