Acute pneumothorax is a frequent complication after percutaneous pulmonary radiofrequency (RF) ablation. In this study we present three cases showing delayed development of pneumothorax after pulmonary RF ablation in 34 patients. Our purpose is to draw attention to this delayed complication and to propose a possible approach to avoid this major complication. These three cases occurred subsequent t...<br/><br/>Stephan Clasen, Joachim Kettenbach, Bora Kosan, Hermann Aebert, Melanie Schernthaner, Stefan-Martin Kröber, Andrea Bömches, Claus D Claussen, Philippe L Pereira (2009) <i>Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 32: 3 484-490<br/>

OBJECTIVE: Lifestyle intervention with diet modification and increase in physical activity is effective for reducing hepatic steatosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, for a similar weight loss, there is a large variability in the change in liver fat. We hypothesised that cardiorespiratory fitness may predict the response to the intervention.

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is an acquired clonal hematological stem-cell disorder that is characterized by a persistent increase in platelet count over 600,000/microl and elevated megakaryocyte levels in the bone marrow. Patients with ET are on the one hand at risk of thrombosis and on the other hand of hemorrhagic events especially in patients with very high platelet accounts. We report two i...<br/><br/>Christina Doesch, Björn Krämer, Tobias Geisler, Andreas E May, Stefan-Martin Kroeber, Reinhard Kandolf, Meinrad Gawaz (2008) <i>J Thromb Thrombolysis</i> <i></i> <i></i> 25: 2 193-197<br/>

PURPOSE: Pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a usually benign tumor originated in the majority of patients from the adrenal medulla. Regarding sporadic forms of PCC, mechanisms of pathogenesis are largely unknown. Recently, microsatellite-instability (MSI) was discussed as genetic factor contributing to PCC development. Since microsatellite markers used for MSI detection have only been recommended for color...<br/><br/>Susan Kupka, Birgit Haack, Marty Zdichavsky, Tanja Mlinar, Christine Kienzle, Thomas Bock, Reinhard Kandolf, Stefan-Martin Kroeber, Alfred Königsrainer (2008) <i>J Cancer Res Clin Oncol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 134: 4 463-471<br/>

BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an increasingly applied technique. Promising results of hepatic RF ablation raised expectations of its capabilities for treatment of primary and secondary lung tumors. Because of different thermal and electrical properties of lung tissue, compared with liver tissue, a simple analogy of tissue response is not possible. The authors aimed to evaluate the ef...<br/><br/>Stephan Clasen, Stefan-Martin Krober, Bora Kosan, Hermann Aebert, Falko Fend, Andrea Bomches, Claus D Claussen, Philippe L Pereira (2008) <i>Cancer</i> <i></i> <i></i> 113: 11 3121-3129<br/>

Among the multitude of dysregulated signaling mechanisms that comprise insulin resistance in divergent organs, the primary events in the development of type 2 diabetes are not well established.

Glucocorticoid-induced TNF-related protein (GITR) has been shown to stimulate T cell-mediated antitumor immunity in mice. However, the functional relevance of GITR and its ligand (GITRL) for non-T cells has yet to be fully explored. In addition, recent evidence suggests that GITR plays different roles in mice and humans.

BACKGROUND: Sarcomas are rarely seen in the head and neck region. They make up less than 1% of all malignant head and neck tumours. Not only the location, size and systemic manifestation, but also the histological differentiation plays an essential role in establishing the best treatment. If resectable, surgical removal of the tumour with clear margins is the preferred method.

We report the case of a 76-year old patient with third relapse of AML who was successfully treated with Imatinib. The decision to try Imatinib was guided by bright expression of c-kit on the patient's blasts. Treatment was well tolerated but the dose was reduced for pancytopenia and later stopped completely because of pneumonia. The patient recovered with i.v. antibiotics, antimycotics and s.c.

Efficient engulfment of the intact cell corpse is a critical end point of apoptosis, required to prevent secondary necrosis and inflammation. The presentation of "eat-me" signals on the dying cell is an important part of this process of recognition and engulfment by professional phagocytes. Here, we present evidence that apoptotic cells secrete chemotactic factor(s) that stimulate the attraction o...<br/><br/>Kirsten Lauber, Erwin Bohn, Stefan Martin Kröber, Yi-jin Xiao, Sibylle G Blumenthal, Ralph K Lindemann, Patrizia Marini, Carolin Wiedig, Anke Zobywalski, Shairaz Baksh, Yan Xu, Ingo B Autenrieth, Klaus Schulze-Osthoff, Claus Belka, Gernot Stuhler, Sebastian Wesselborg (2003) <i>Cell</i> <i></i> <i></i> 113: 6 717-730<br/>

Primary lymphoma of the urinary bladder is a very rare tumour. A bladder tumour was found in a 57 year old man with obstructive dysuria. It was found by histological and immunohistohistochemical investigation to be an extranodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma. Lymphoepithelial lesions were absent, but were found in a clinically silent gastric lymphoma discovered four weeks later during staging inve...<br/><br/>S M Kröber, C Aepinus, P Ruck, H-K Müller-Hermelink, H-P Horny, E Kaiserling (2002) <i>J Clin Pathol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 55: 7 554-557<br/>

BACKGROUND: Cystic carcinomas of the neck without evidence of a primary tumor are diagnostically challenging lesions. Differentiation between a cystic lymph node metastasis of an occult primary tumor and a carcinoma arising in a branchiogenic cyst is frequently not possible even with histological examination.

Paragangliomas of the glomus caroticum are relatively rare, but highly vascularized neoplasmas, which develop from chemoreceptors. They can be develop at any age, but most often in the third or fourth decade of life. Paragangliomas grow very slowly and are most always of benign origin.
