A Whole-Blood Transcriptome Meta-Analysis Identifies Gene Expression Signatures of Cigarette Smoking.
(Oxford Journals, 2016-08-29)Cigarette smoking is a leading modifiable cause of death worldwide. We hypothesized that cigarette smoking induces extensive transcriptomic changes that lead to target-organ damage and smoking-related diseases. We performed ... -
SOS1 frameshift mutations cause Pure Mucosal Neuroma Syndrome, a clinical phenotype distinct from multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B.
(Wiley, 2015-12-28)Mucosal neuromas, thickened corneal nerves and Marfanoid body habitus are characteristic phenotypic features of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B (MEN2B), and often provide an early clue to the diagnosis of the syndrome. ... -

(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016-11-09)Vulval lichen sclerosus (LS) is a common inflammatory condition associated with an increased risk of developing vulval carcinoma. Diagnosis is usually clinical although biopsy is necessary if the diagnosis is uncertain or ... -
The Effect of Tiotropium in Symptomatic Asthma Despite Low- to Medium-Dose Inhaled Corticosteroids: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(Elsevier, 2015-11-07)BACKGROUND: Tiotropium, a once-daily long-acting anticholinergic bronchodilator, has demonstrated efficacy in patients with asthma who were symptomatic despite treatment with medium- to high-dose inhaled corticosteroids ... -
Cyclosporine-assisted adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy to mitigate acute kidney ischemia-reperfusion injury.
(BioMed Central, 2013-05-31)This study tested the hypothesis that cyclosporine (CsA)-supported syngeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (ADMSC) therapy offered superior attenuation of acute ischemia-reperfusion (IR) kidney injury to either ... -
The 'three-legged stool': a system for spinal informed consent.
(British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Journal, 2016-11)Many hospitals do not have a structured process of consent, the attainment of which can often be rather 'last-minute' and somewhat chaotic. This is a surprising state of affairs as spinal surgery is a high-risk surgical ... -
BSR and BHPR guideline for the treatment of axial spondyloarthritis (including ankylosing spondylitis) with biologics.

Length of FMR1 repeat alleles within the normal range does not substantially affect the risk of early menopause.
(Oxford Journals, 2016-10)Is the length of FMR1 repeat alleles within the normal range associated with the risk of early menopause? -
Limbic encephalitis driven by a pleural mesothelioma: a paraneoplastic complication
(Middle East Journal of Cancer, 2016-10)Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes have only been described with pleural mesothelioma in five cases. We have described a 72-year-old man who developed anterograde amnesia 27 months after diagnosis of epithelioid pleural ... -
