Evaluation of Carotis Intima Media Thicknesses in Varying Degrees of Renal Failure

OBJECTIVE: The most frequent reason of increased cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is atherosclerosis. In our study, carotid intima media thickness (CIMT), an indirect indicator of atherosclerosis, were evaluated in varying degrees of renal failure

Comparison of serum NEDD-9, CA 15-3, and CEA levels and PET metabolic parameters in breast cancer patients with 18 F-FDG PET / CT

OBJECTIVE: Analyze the over expression of neural precursor cell expressed developmentally down-regulated protein 9 (NEDD-9) deregulated associated with a poor prognosis in various carcinomas. Our objective was to investigate the relationship between the levels of NEDD-9, CA 15-3, and CEA and PET (SUVmax, MTV40, TLG40) with the clinical parameters of patients with breast cancer (BC)
