Hypoxia-induced changes in plasma micro-RNAs correlate with pulmonary artery pressure at high altitude
(2018)
In vitro and animal studies revealed micro-RNAs (miRs) to be involved in modulation of hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH). However, knowledge of circulating miRs in humans in the context of HPH is very limited. ...
A mixture of routinely encountered xenobiotics induces both redox adaptations and perturbations in blood and tissues of rats after a long-term low-dose exposure regimen: The time and dose issue
(2019)
Exposure of humans to xenobiotic mixtures is a continuous state during their everyday routine. However, the majority of toxicological studies assess the in vivo effects of individual substances rather than mixtures. ...
Adhesion Prevention to Polypropylene Meshes Using Combined Icodextrin Four Percent and Dimetindene Maleate
(2019)
Background: The use of surgical meshes in ventral hernia repair has significantly reduced hernia recurrence rates. However, when placed intraperitoneally prosthetic materials can trigger the development of peritoneal ...
C-reactive protein as a potential biomarker of residual obstructive sleep apnea following adenotonsillectomy in children
(2016)
Study Objectives: Adenotonsillectomy (AT) is first-line treatment for pediatric obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with most children having improvements in polysomnography (PSG). However, many children have residual OSA ...
Bone mineral density in vocational and professional ballet dancers
(2017)
Summary: According to existing literature, bone health in ballet dancers is controversial. We have verified that, compared to controls, young female and male vocational ballet dancers have lower bone mineral density (BMD) ...
Glycogenic hepatopathy as a cause of severe deranged liver enzymes in a young patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus
(2019)
Glycogenic hepatopathy (GH) is a rare complication of poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). We present a 19-year-old woman with T1DM and autoimmune thyroiditis who admitted to our department because of abrupt ...
Heart rate variability during high heat stress: A comparison between young and older adults with and without type 2 diabetes
(2016)
We examined whether older individuals with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D) experience differences in heart rate variability (HRV) during a 3-hour exposure to high heat stress compared to young adults. Young (YOUNG; n=22; ...
Progression of conventional cardiovascular risk factors and vascular disease risk in individuals: insights from the PROG-IMT consortium
(2020)
Aims: Averaged measurements, but not the progression based on multiple assessments of carotid intima-media thickness, (cIMT) are predictive of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in individuals. Whether this is true for ...
Clinical features and outcomes of patients with tubercular uveitis treated with antitubercular therapy in the collaborative ocular tuberculosis study (COTS)-1
(2017)
IMPORTANCE Eradication of systemic tuberculosis (TB) has been limited by neglected populations and the HIV pandemic. Whereas ocular TB often presents as uveitis without any prior evidence of systemic TB, the existing ...
The Effect of Metformin on the Endometrium of Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
(2019)
Objectives: To investigate the effect of metformin on endometrial receptivity in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: Twenty volunteer women with polycystic ovaries and oligomenorrhea were prospectively ...
