[EX Q]: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of FDG-PET following chemoradiotherapy (CRT) on treatment planning and survival in patients with oesophageal cancer (OC).', 'Fifty-three consecutive OC patients had a post-treatment PET scan to evaluate tumour response to CRT prior to possible surgery. Baseline pre-CRT PET was performed in 33 patients. Prospectively recorded post-CRT management plans were compared with post-PET treatment. High impact was defined as a change in treatment intent or modality. Survival was analysed using the Kaplan-Meier product limit method and Cox proportional hazards regression model.', 'After completion of CRT, 23/53 patients (43%) achieved complete metabolic response (CMR), as compared with only four (8%) with complete response on computed tomography. High PET impact was observed in 19 patients (36%). CMR was strongly predictive of survival (p<0.008) on multivariate analysis. CMR patients in whom resection was not performed had comparable survival to those (CMR and non-CMR) who underwent resection.

[EX Q]: The observed association between pioglitazone and bladder cancer could be causal or because of bias in the design of prior studies. We hypothesize that proteinuria testing may lead to detection bias if routine test results for proteinuria lead to a full urinalysis.', 'We reanalyzed patients with diabetes mellitus within Kaiser Permanente Northern California. Logistic and Cox regression adjusted for age, sex, race, and smoking were used to assess the association of proteinuria testing with pioglitazone use, subsequent full urinalysis, and diagnosis with bladder cancer.', 'Patients treated with pioglitazone were more likely than others with diabetes to undergo testing for proteinuria (p\u2009<\u20090.001). The odds of positive tests for proteinuria were higher among pioglitazone-treated patients (OR\u2009=\u20091.41, 95%CI 1.36-1.46). A positive proteinuria test was associated with increased odds of completing a urinalysis in the following 6\u2009months (OR\u2009=\u20091.78, 95%CI 1.73-1.85). Negative and positive proteinuria test results were inversely (hazard ratio (HR) 0.63, 95%CI 0.52-0.75) and positively associated (HR 2.45, 95%CI 2.12-2.82) with bladder cancer risk, respectively. Adjustment for negative and positive proteinuria testing reduced the magnitude of association between pioglitazone and bladder cancer by only 5 to 10% (ever-exposed HR: from 1.06 to 1.01 and >4\u2009years exposure HR: from 1.38 to 1.28).
[EX A]: Is proteinuria testing among patients with diabetes mellitus associated with bladder cancer diagnosis : potential for unmeasured confounding in studies of pioglitazone and bladder cancer?

[EX Q]: Tissue and organic venous congestion is a common pathophysiologic phenomenon. However, it is unclear whether venous congestion induces small-intestinal mucosal apoptosis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether venous congestion, or congestion followed by re-outflow, induced small-intestinal mucosal apoptosis, and whether tumor necrosis factor-alpha is involved in this apoptosis.', 'Small-intestinal venous congestion was induced in rats by occlusion of the superior mesenteric vein with a micro-bulldog clamp. At the end of the congestive period, the clamp was released to facilitate congestion followed by re-outflow. The rats were injected with a neutral anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha antibody (0.15 mg/kg) via the jugular vein for 30 min before venous congestion or congestion followed by re-outflow. Intestinal mucosal apoptosis was evaluated and tumor necrosis factor-alpha was assayed. The amounts of caspase-8, caspase-3, and cytochrome c were determined by Western blot analysis.', 'Our results showed that venous congestion and congestion followed by re-outflow significantly increased mucosal apoptosis, the amount of mucosal tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and the levels of caspase-8 cleavage and caspase-3 activation, but did not induce cytochrome c release from mitochondria to the cytosol. Pretreatment with an anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha antibody significantly reduced mucosal apoptosis after intestinal congestion or congestion followed by re-outflow.
