Raising Awareness About Ovarian Cancer
No full textOn Thursday September 17, Dr Lorna Rodriguez, Chief of Gynecological Oncology at the Cancer Institute of NJ, spoke at the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund's "Super Luncheon", hosted at the Governor's Mansion. Afterward we had a chance to sit down and ask Dr. Rodriguez a few questions about Ovarian Cancer and what steps women can take to protect themselves.

Organisational knowledge integration: towards a conceptual framework
No full textThis study analyses organisational knowledge integration processes from a multi-level and systemic perspective, with particular reference to the case of Fujitsu. A conceptual framework for knowledge integration is suggested focusing on team-building capability, capturing and utilising individual tacit knowledge, and communication networks for integrating dispersed specialist knowledge required in the development of new products and services. The research highlights that knowledge integration occurring in the innovation process is a result of knowledge exposure, its distribution and embodiment and finally its transfer, which leads to innovation capability and competitive advantage in firm

A fifth-generation Californian of Mexican and Native American (Chumasch) heritage, Cervantes is widely considered one of the most important Latina poets who drew tremendous power from her struggles in the literary and political trenches. This work explores the boundaries between language and experience and features a new collection of poems by the dynamic poet
Cambios en la alergenicidad de parvalbúminas de pescado sometido a tratamiento térmico: Instituto de Bioquímica y Biología Molecular Universidad Nacional Agraria la Molina, 2017
No full textLas Parvalbúminas (PA) representan un grupo importante de proteínas alergénicas que conforma la fracción sarcoplasmática del músculo de pescado y que en el presente estudio fueron extraídas de las especies jurel (Trachurus symmetricus murphyi) y lorna (Sciaena deliciosa) de acuerdo a
la metodología propuesta por Arif S.H., Jabeen M. and Hasnain A., (2007) y analizadas mediante técnicas electroforéticas (SDS-PAGE) y de valoración densitométrica. Las cantidades aproximadas obtenidas de PA fueron 6.999mg/100g en jurel y 7.329 mg/100g en lorna. El efecto térmico a 121°C durante 0, 5, 10 y 15 minutos sobre la estabilidad de PA fue valorado en términos de cantidades relativas (CR) referidas a muestras crudas (0 minutos) en ambas especies; el calentamiento a 10 y 15 minutos provocó los efectos más severos reduciendo hasta en 63.50% y 71.25% las CR de PA de lorna y jurel respectivamente. A fin de estimar el efecto luego de la
ingestión se sometió las muestras a hidrólisis enzimática en un Fluido Gástrico Simulado (FGS) observando valores de reducción hasta de 83.25% en jurel y 79% en lorna, que sugieren un posible efecto sinérgico y la conveniencia del procesamiento térmico de elaboración de conservas
de pescado para la reducción de la alergenicidad de PA. Los resultados del estudio fueron realizados entre octubre 2016 y agosto 2017 y contribuyen en el campo de la inocuidad, protección de la salud y nutrición del consumidor.Tesi
Lorna Sage writing: a reader's view

Abstract 5323: Obesity and ovarian cancer survival revisited
No full textAbstract
Research on the impact of obesity on ovarian cancer survival is inconsistent but previous studies did not consider the possible impact of ascites, bowel obstruction, or cachexia, which commonly occur in late-stage disease. We evaluated this association in a cohort study of primary invasive epithelial ovarian cancers diagnosed from 2000-2013 in Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) (n=1,157). Deaths were identified through December 2014, with median follow-up of 37 months. Proportional hazards regression was used to estimate overall and ovarian cancer-specific mortality, accounting for prognostic variables including age at diagnosis, race, stage, grade, histology, comorbidities, treatment, post-treatment CA125 levels, ascites, and bowel obstruction. There was no evidence of an association between BMI and overall or ovarian cancer-specific survival. However, we found strong effect modification by stage (Pinteraction<.01). Compared to normal pre-diagnosis BMI (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), for women who were obese before diagnosis (BMI≥35 kg/m2) risk of ovarian cancer-specific mortality was increased among those diagnosed at stages I/II (Hazard ratio [HR]: 3.40; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.16-9.99), but reduced among those diagnosed with stage IV disease (HR: 0.58; 95%CI: 0.35-0.96). Associations persisted after excluding those diagnosed with cachexia (n=91) and further adjusting for ascites and bowel obstruction, with no evidence of effect modification by these factors. Associations of obesity with ovarian cancer survival differ by stage, with decreased survival among those with localized disease and increased survival among those with late-stage disease. Stage-specific effects of obesity on survival suggest a tailored approach to improve prognosis may be appropriate.
