question:
Body weight correlates with risk of breast cancer death.', 'A retrospective cohort study using patient medical records, electronic cancer registry data, and archived tissue specimens.', 'A 395-bed, comprehensive community hospital.', 'One thousand three hundred seventy-six women, aged 24 to 81 years, who were diagnosed with breast cancer between January 1, 1988, and December 31, 1995, and for whom complete medical records and adequate tissue specimens existed.', "Body weight at the time of diagnosis and patient status (ie, alive and free of breast cancer, living with breast cancer, dead of breast cancer, or dead of other cause) at the time of longest follow-up. Additional data collected, including age at diagnosis, menopausal status, tumor size, tumor grade, lymph node status, stage at diagnosis, race, estrogen-receptor (ER) status, and treatment information, were used to create multivariate Cox proportional hazards models to estimate hazard rate (HR) ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for breast cancer death. We collected ER status from the patients' medical records, when available, and supplemented the information by using immunohistochemical techniques to determine ER status from archived paraffin-embedded tumor blocks.", 'Patients were followed up for a median of 6.8 years after diagnosis. Two hundred forty-six patients died from breast cancer. Among patients with early-stage disease (I and IIA), we observed a dose-response relationship of increasing weight with increasing likelihood of dying of breast cancer. Compared with women in the lowest category of weight (< 133 lb [60 kg] at diagnosis), women in the highest category (> or = 175 lb [79 kg]) experienced a 2.5-fold increased risk of dying from breast cancer (HR ratio, 2.54 [95% CI, 1.08-6.00]; trend P = .02). Women with ER-negative cancer experienced an approximately 2-fold higher risk of dying from breast cancer compared with women with ER-positive cancer, regardless of stage at diagnosis. Women in the upper 50th percentile of weight with early-stage disease and with ER-negative tumors had a nearly 5-fold increased risk of dying (HR ratio, 4.99 [95% CI, 2.17-11.48]; P for interaction = .10) compared with women in the lower 50th percentile of weight and ER-positive tumors. The results were similar for body mass index, a measure of obesity in which weight is adjusted for height.
answer:
Does body weight correlate with mortality in early-stage breast cancer?


question:
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support is often required in the management of perioperative congenital heart surgery (CHS) patients. However, 24-hour in-hospital congenital cardiac surgical coverage (24-CCSC) is not available at all institutions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of 24-CCSC on perioperative ECMO outcomes in CHS patients.', "An institutional review board approved, retrospective review of 128 perioperative CHS ECMO patients at a single, quaternary care children's hospital between January 2003 and December 2012 was performed. Primary endpoints evaluated were mortality in children supported with ECMO after undergoing cardiac surgery and ECMO-related morbidity after initiation of 24-CCSC with advanced congenital cardiac surgical fellows. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on whether 24-CCSC was absent (cohort 1: January 2003 to July 2007) or present (cohort 2: August 2007 to December 2012) at the time of ECMO management.", 'The surgical procedures performed were similar in both cohorts based on STAT Mortality Categories (5 Society of Thoracic Surgeons-European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Congenital Heart Surgery Mortality Categories). The overall mortality rate in children supported with ECMO after undergoing cardiac surgery was 53%. This mortality was significantly reduced from 68% to 43% (p\xa0= 0.007) with\xa024-CCSC. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that 24-CCSC (p\xa0= 0.009) and lower STAT Mortality Category (p\xa0= 0.042) were independent predictors of operative survival. Cardiac arrhythmias (36% to 16%; p\xa0= 0.012) and pulmonary complications (32% to 8%; p < 0.001) were significantly reduced with 24-CCSC.
answer:
Does twenty-four hour in-hospital congenital cardiac surgical coverage improve perioperative ECMO support outcomes?


question:
The human heart expresses type 2 angiotensin (AT(2)) receptor, but the function is poorly defined.', 'In the present study, we investigated (1) the cellular localization of the AT(2) receptor and (2) the relationship between the AT(2) receptor protein expression and the cardiac function of patients with ischemic heart disease. The receptor localization was assessed by immunohistochemistry and the protein expression was quantified by Western blotting in atrial tissues freshly obtained from 22 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (63.0+/-11.0 years old; male ratio, 85%). Prior to the surgery, blood was drawn for determination of atrial-natriuretic hormone level and the left ventricular function was assessed by ultrasound cardiography.', 'The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the AT(2) receptor was localized to cardiomyocytes and was not present in fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscles, or vascular endothelium. Atrial tissues showed various degrees of structural remodeling, but the localization of the AT(2) receptor was not altered in any tissue sections. The amount of the AT(2) receptor was negatively correlated with end-diastolic left ventricular diastolic dimension (r=-0.56, P<0.01), calculated left ventricular mass index (r=-0.51, P<0.02) and the plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) concentration (r=-0. 62, P<0.01) and positively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r=0.48, P<0.05).
answer:

Is type 2 angiotensin II receptor downregulated in cardiomyocytes of patients with heart failure?
