A case of membranous nephropathy associated with Sjögren syndrome, polymyositis and autoimmune hepatitis
(2008)Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, especially lacrimal and salivary. The immunologic process which occurs in this syndrome is B cell ... -
Low-Grade Systemic Inflammation Interferes with Anabolic and Catabolic Characteristics of the Aged Human Skeletal Muscle
(2021)Aging is associated with the development of chronic low-grade systemic inflammation (LGSI) characterized by increased circulating levels of proinflammatory cytokines and acute phase proteins such as C-reactive protein ... -
Muscle xenografts reproduce key molecular features of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy
(2019)Aberrant expression of DUX4, a gene unique to humans and primates, causes Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy-1 (FSHD), yet the pathogenic mechanism is unknown. As transgenic overexpression models have largely failed ... -
The redox-dependent regulation of satellite cells following aseptic muscle trauma (SpEED): Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
(2019)Background: Muscle satellite cells (SCs) are crucial for muscle regeneration following muscle trauma. Acute skeletal muscle damage results in inflammation and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which may be ... -
Solitary axillary lymph nodal metastasis from primary ovarian cancer: An unusual presentation
(2017)Background: The most common sites of visceral metastases in ovarian cancer are the liver and lungs, whereas the most frequent sites of lymph nodal involvement are abdominal, para-aortic, mediastinal, and pelvic nodes. ...
