Oesophageal surgery- Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Professor Neil ...SMACC Conference
The 105 years since the first successful thoracic oesophagectomy was performed saw initially slow progress in terms of operative mortality, morbidity and oncological outcomes. Even until the late 1990’s, operative mortality figures of 15-20% were commonplace and long term survival was poor, as low as 12%1. The last 20 years has seen a major change in these outcomes both within Australia and overseas. These improvements have been based on the bed rocks of improved surgical techniques, improved peri operative care, changes in the distribution of the pathophysiology of the disease, improved patient selection through better staging, Development of endoscopic techniques for early tumours, development of effective neo adjuvant regimes and the development of “high” volume centres have all contributed to the current figures of 4% preoperative mortality and overall 5 year survivals in the post surgical patient of 40%. Better understanding of the nutritional issues involved has led to an emphasis on better quality of life issues in both the curative and palliative settings. This talk outlines the forces that have brought about the changes including outlining the modern treatment algorithm and discussing the volume effects of surgery in the Australian context

Targeting Telomerase and Topoisomerase-II by Natural Moieties: An Anti-Cancer...CrimsonpublishersCancer
One of the fundamental characteristic of tumor cell is to maintain the telomere length for continues progressive growth and survival. For the same, tumor cell has elevated levels of telomerase enzyme[1]. Telomerase is an unusual enzyme that acts on parts of chromosomes known as telomeres. Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein and expressed in approximately 85% of different human cancers[2]. There is strong evidence for the existence of an important relationship between telomeres, telomerase and cancer [3]. Normal human cells progressively lose telomeres with each cell division until a few short telomeres become uncapped leading to a growth arrest, known as replicative aging. This phenomenon is totally absent in the cancer and cancer cells are adapted to have higher levels of telomerase enzyme which results in uncontrolled cell division. Attempts have also been made to develop telomere length-and telomerase-based diagnostic tools and anticancer therapeutics [4].

Maryland summit jhh 2015 how to live longer and better with lupuslupusdmv
Lupus is a chronic disease that people must learn to deal with their entire lives. Dealing with it successfully involves more than just taking medications. There are many important steps the people who have lupus should take in order to have a good quality of life and live longer. Dr. Thomas will discuss these important steps as well as explain why they are important to do on a regular basis.
