Effect of fibroblast growth factor NV1FGF on amputation and death: a randomised placebo-controlled trial of gene therapy in critical limb ischaemia

Patients with critical limb ischaemia have a high rate of amputation and mortality. We tested the hypothesis that non-viral 1 fibroblast growth factor (NV1FGF) would improve amputation-free survival.

High-level cytoplasmic cyclin D1 expression in lymph node metastases from prostate cancer independently predicts early biochemical failure and death in surgically treated patients

To test the prognostic significance of cyclin D1 in nodal-positive prostate cancer.

Cardiometabolic effects in caregivers of nursing home placement and death of their spouse with Alzheimer's disease

To test the hypothesis that cardiometabolic risk is attenuated when caregivers are relieved of caregiving stress when the caregiving recipient transitions out of the home.

Interruptions of cART limits CD4 T-cell recovery and increases the risk for opportunistic complications and death

A major goal of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for HIV-1-infected persons is the recovery of CD4 T lymphocytes, resulting in thorough protection against opportunistic complications. Interruptions of ART are still frequent. The long-term effect on CD4 T-cell recovery and clinical events remains unknown.

Stress and pain response of neonates after spontaneous birth and vacuum-assisted and cesarean delivery

The objective of the study was to compare the stress response and pain expression of newborns (NBs) in the early postpartum period.
