Take Intraoperative Steps to Reduce Joint Infection Risk
Jan 12, 2018 - With an increasing number of total knee arthroplasty and total hip arthroplasty procedures being performed in the United States, the rate of failure has also increased. In its annual report, the American Joint Replacement Registry listed infection as a leading cause of TKA and THA revisions from 2012 to 2016. Research has also shown failures due to periprosthetic joint infection are expected to increase at an annual rate of between 38,000 cases and 270,000 cases by the year 2030.
Novel Therapies in Pancreatic Cancer: Opportunities and Challenges for Precision Medicine
Jan 11, 2018 - The molecular landscape of PDAC is driven largely by prevalent KRAS mutations.6 Efforts to develop KRAS inhibitors have failed because of the high affinity of RAS proteins for the pocket binding site for GTP.7 Novel KRAS G12C inhibitors are under development.8 However, KRAS G12D, the most common RAS mutation in PDAC, remains undruggable. Targeting KRAS in PDAC by using downstream MAP kinase inhibitors, such as MEK inhibitors, has been unsuccessful.9,10 Targeting ERK downstream of KRAS has emerged as a promising strategy in models in vivo.

He remembers watching in awe as the world’s elite skiers, lugers and hockey players poured into the familiar Rice-Eccles Stadium for the Opening Ceremonies.
