Association Between Red Blood Cell Distribution Width and All-cause Mortality in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Considering results among previous studies regarding the relationship of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, we aimed to perform a comprehensive meta-analysis to evaluate the potential association between RDW and all-cause mortality in CKD patients.

Relationship of Echocardiographic Epicardial Fat Thickness and Epicardial Fat Volume by Computed Tomography with Coronary Artery Calcification: Data from the CAESAR Study
No study has assessed the association between echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and computed tomography (CT)-based epicardial fat volume (EFV) and coronary artery calcification. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between EFT and EFV and coronary artery calcification. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Association of Apolipoprotein E Polymorphisms with Age-related Macular Degeneration Subtypes: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the worldwide leading cause of blindness among the elderly, especially in developed countries. The possible association between apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphism ( ε2, ε3, ε4) and AMD has been extensively investigated with conflicting results, especially when specifying different clinical phenotypes of AMD. Herein, we conducted a meta-analysis by integrating several recent large-sample studies to verify the effect of ApoE polymorphisms on AMD subtypes. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Associations Between TNFAIP3 Gene Polymorphisms and Rheumatoid Arthritis Risk: A Meta-analysis
A host of studies investigated the associations between tumor necrosis factor alpha inducible protein 3 (TNFAIP3) gene rs2230926 and rs5029937 polymorphisms and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility, but with conflicting findings. Therefore, we explored whether TNFAIP3 gene rs2230926 and rs5029937 polymorphisms are associated with RA by meta-analysis. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

NF- κB Participates in the Stem Cell Phenotype of Ovarian Cancer Cells
NF- κB is a transcription factor involved in cancer stem cells maintenance of many tumors. Little is known about the specific stem-associated upstream regulators of this pathway in ovarian cancer. The Aim of the study was to analyze the role of the canonical and non-canonical NF-κB pathways in stem ce lls of ovarian cancer cell lines. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Welcome to the New Age. Claude Bernard's “Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine” and the Shift of Medical Thought Towards Science: 150 Years Later
For most members of the medical community, the year of 2015 was an important one, although for reasons very few may recall. In 1865, Claude Bernard (1) would publish his ground-breaking work ‘An Introduction to the Study of Experimental Medicine’. This was not just another chapter in the book of 19th-century medical inventions and discoveries, but while reflecting on his extensive laboratory life he foregrounded a new epistemology and philosophy of medicine (see, for example, (2)) T he notion of scientific revolution (3) may rightly seem obsolete for most historians of science by now (4), yet Bernard's contribution was...

Pyrimidinylacetamide-based 2-pyridylureas as Angiogenesis Inhibitors: Design, Synthesis and Biological Evaluation
VEGFR-2 inhibitors have been widely used in the treatment of cancer. In our continued efforts to search for potent and novel VEGFR-2 inhibitors as antitumor agents, we have identified a series of ureas and amides bearing a oxazolopyrimidine scaffold. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Who Can Diagnose Parkinson's Disease First? Role of Pre-motor Symptoms
In 1817, James Parkinson described the disease which bears his name. The disease was defined as a neurological syndrome characterized by tremor, rigidity, and slowness of movements. Almost one hundred years later, degeneration of neurons in the substantia nigra and low levels of dopamine were identified as the putative cause of the disease, thus the disease remained as a pure neurological disorder. In the late 1990s, non-motor symptoms of the disease began to gain interest because of their clinical relevance, as well as for their potential role in broadening the understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved. ...
