Further investigation is needed to elucidate the impact of spike protein on the brain and its association with other neurological diseases. Our data also suggest a mechanism for the virus’s entry into the central nervous system. In both mouse and COVID-19 human tissues, we found spike protein...
68 yo male w/ A fib and elevated lipids presents w/ rectal bleeding, what lab do you order? Warfarin is a vitamin K antagonist whose anticoagulant activity is monitored based on the prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR, calculated from the PT). Warfarin interacts with...
As BPD serves as a key indicator of lung development and is interconnected with other morbidities, we assessed the capacity of BPD to delineate the morbidity patterns at near-term age in preterm infants in both cohorts. We quantified morbidity occurrence, incidence, RR, and OR for all BPD seve...
where cancer cells preferentially reduce pyruvate to L-lactate (Fig.1). While lactate production is typical under physiological conditions of hypoxia (for instance, during exercise), cancer cells produce lactate even in the presence of oxygen, hence the term “aerobic glycolysis”, a synonym ...
From the perspective of cancer biology, while there is little doubt that oncometabolites play a major role in the late phases of the natural history of cancer, corresponding to what is generally called cancer “progression”, one unresolved question is whether they induce advantage-conferring events...
The cells were also exposed to gases at concentrations resembling what is shown in Fig. 1, which may have contributed to the observed effect. An example is a study by Bakand et al. (2007) who showed that ammonia at 200 ppm was cytotoxic to A549 cells exposed at ALI conditions for 1 ...
While more investigation is needed to understand this association, these results suggest that aggressive efforts to reduce mitral regurgitation to mild may provide diminishing returns. Second, although no individual patient factors were associated with a large health status decrement, we identified a ...
Davis1,3,6 Background: To describe the interrelationship between antenatal steroids, exogenous surfactant, and two approaches to lung recruitment at birth on oxygenation and respiratory system compliance Methods: Lambs (Cdyn) in (n = 63; preterm lambs. gestational age 127 ± 1 d) ...
As a quantitative tool, it offers the ability to determine what percentage of the lung is involved with the disease and to break this down into areas of ground glass density, consolidation, collapse, etc. This can be evaluated on serial studies which may be predictive of a patient’s ...
Fill in the blank. The ___ pleura is firmly attached to the outer surface of each lung. What is high altitude cerebral/pulmonary edema, and how is it caused by low pressure and low oxygen conditions? Sympathetic stimulation in the lungs will lead to: a. air...
