12. Clinical aspects of Arteriovenous fistula use in a haemodialysis population. Results based on retrospective and internventional studies
Abstract : When a patient suffers from end stage renal disease, the vascular access becomes the lifeline to perform regular haemodialysis (HD) treatment. The recommended first choice is the surgically created native Arteriovenous Fistula (AVF). The AVF is exposed for repeated needling when connecting the dialysis machine several times a week.

13. Translational Aspects of Erythropoietin Receptor and Hypoxia-Inducible Factors in Breast Cancer
Abstract : The main function of erythropoietin (EPO) is in hematopoiesis where EPO stimulates increased proliferation, survival and differentiation of erythrocytic precursors in response to hypoxia. The EPO effect is mediated via binding to the EPO receptor (EPOR), which induces activation of different intracellular signaling pathways. READ MORE

14. Erythropoietin receptor in growth control and anti-estrogen resistance of estrogen receptor positive breast cancer
Abstract : The main function of Erythropoietin (EPO) and its receptor (EPOR) is the stimulation of erythropoiesis. Therefore, recombinant human EPO (rhEPO) is used to treat anemia in cancer patients, but some studies have reported that rhEPO treatment might promote tumor progression. Additionally, EPOR expression has been detected in various cancer forms. READ MORE

15. Prognostic factors in renal cell carcinoma : evaluation of erythropoietin and its receptor, carbonic anhydrase IX, parathyroid hormone-related protein and osteopontin
Abstract : A prognostic factor is a marker or a feature that can be used to estimate the risk of recurrence of disease, metastatic spread and clinical outcome. Despite intensive search for more sophisticated markers in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), few have added prognostic information to earlier described factors like stage of disease, nuclear grade, tumour type, and in metastatic disease; performance status, anaemia, hypercalcaemia and increased erythrocyte sedimentation.
