Liquid Biopsy in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor

2017

Over the past 15 years, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have emerged from a poorly understood neoplasm to a well-defined tumor entity. Starting from 2000, the discovery of gain-of-function mutations involving KIT or PDGFRα (platelet-derived growth factor-α) genes and the development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as imatinib, revolutionized dramatically the management of GISTs. Due to the almost continual emergence of new data about biological complexity of GISTs and more sophisticated whole-genome technologies, to date, the role of molecular biology is clinically important to drive therapeutic decision making. The possibility of using liquid biopsy in GISTs was reported…

Outlying location of logistics activities : the example of the Burgundy in France

2015

International audience; This paper contributes to the understanding of spatial location of logistics activities in an outlying region. A quantitative analysis in Burgundy (French region) underlines the important polarization of warehousing developed in a limited area during 1980–1990s intensified during 2000s. The companies that locate their warehouses in Burgundy have different strategies that could explain this outlying location. For example, the low cost of land, favorable terms of tax system and the presence of a labour pool with an important unemployed rate incentive could incentive some companies to locate their warehouses in an outlying region like the Burgundy.

The public/social logistics is understood as the application of public objectives by the external entities within medical entities. There has been undertaken an attempt of showing that the greatest potential of costs reduction and processes diminishing in a hospital occurs in the logistics sphere. It has been indicated that the development of public logistics resulting, first of all, from the budget constraints is a kind of a panacea for the processes diminishing and the medical services effectiveness increase.
