Autophagy and aging: Maintaining the proteome through exercise and caloric restriction
Abstract Accumulation of dysfunctional and damaged cellular proteins and organelles occurs during aging, resulting in a disruption of cellular homeostasis and progressive degeneration and increases the risk of cell death. Moderating the accrual of these defunct...
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Improves Oral Graft Take In Hypospadias Stag Reoperations.
Abstract: Increased complications following failed hypospadias repairs suggest impaired wound healing is a contributing factor. We used perioperative hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to promote wound healing determined by graft take in staged tubularized autograft...
Transient Retinal Artery Occlusion After Uncomplicated Rhinoplasty.
Abstract: Loss of vision is an extremely rare and unexpected complication following a routine uncomplicated nasal surgery. In majority of patients, visual loss has attributed to retinal emboli which occur with retrograde flow of the intra-arterially injected agents...
Adrenal Aging and Its Implications on Stress Responsiveness in Humans
Abstract Normal aging results in subtle changes both in ACTH and cortisol secretion. Most notable is the general increase in mean daily serum cortisol levels in the elderly, without a noteworthy alteration in the normal circadian rhythm pattern. Glucocorticoid excess...
The clinical use of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of Danish patients with diabetic foot ulcers.
Patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) suffer from diabetes-related complications and comor-bidities. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a treatment modality with limited capacity used in the treatment of DFUs. It is important to ensure that HBOT is offered to patients who are suitable for this treatment regarding effect, compliance and life expectancy. The objective of the present study was to describe the population of patients with DFU who were referred to HBOT in Denmark in the 1999-2016 period. All patients with DFU who were treated at the HBOT chamber in Copenhagen during the study period were considered. Patients with an invalid social security number or an incorrect diagnosis were excluded. Data on comor-bidities, amputation and death were extracted from the Danish National patient Registry and the Danish Civil Registration System.
Determination of netrin-1 levels and its relationship with neurotoxicity in carbon monoxide poisoning.
Abstract: The aim of the study was to assess netrin-1 levels in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning to determine its relationship with poisoning severity and neurotoxicity. This is a cross-sectional prospective study. The patients older than 18 years with CO poisoning were...
Vitamin C for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension
Abstract It is suggested that supplementation of vitamin C reduces hyperglycemia and lowers blood pressure in hypertensives by enhacing the formation of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1), PGI2 (prostacyclin), endothelial nitric oxide (eNO), and restore essential fatty acid...
Textbook of Traumatic Brain Injury
Despite the increased public awareness of traumatic brain injury (TBI), the complexities of the neuropsychiatric, neuropsychological, neurological, and other physical consequences of TBI of all severities across the lifespan remain incompletely understood by patients,...
