(2014-07-28)
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a brief quantitative five-language measure of involvement and satisfaction in clinical decision-making (CDIS) - with versions for patients (CDIS-P) and staff ...
Expression of polycomb protein BMI-1 maintains the plasticity of basal bronchial epithelial cells.
(2016-08)
The airway epithelium is altered in respiratory disease and is thought to contribute to disease etiology. A caveat to disease research is that the technique of isolation of bronchial epithelial cells from patients is ...
Cantú syndrome with coexisting familial pituitary adenoma.
