OBJECTIVE: Risk stratification of patients with acute chest pain, non-diagnostic electrocardiogram and normal troponin (ACPneg) remains a challenge, partly because no standardized set of biomarkers with prognostic ability has been identified in this population.
Lymphopenia has been associated with atherosclerosis progression and adverse outcomes in cardiovascular diseases; although its prognostic value in ACPneg is unknown.We sought [...]

Developmental Genes and Cancer in Children.
Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2009 Jan 22;

Childhood tumours are associated with congenital abnormalities suggesting that disruption of normal developmental processes may be linked with oncogenesis. Genetic and environmental exposures may combine to disrupt critical epigenetic processes during development, thus affecting gene-related signalling pathways and cellular function. This review examines the role of critical [...]
