are responsible for the recurrence, or 3) there is a host hormonal imbalance that affects and alters the donor cornea to develop secondary ectasia While the first two hypotheses are well-described in the literature, the third hypothesis remains understudied. However, given the previous section's ...
I had cortrosyn and arginine-GHRH stimulation test at Johns Hopkins. They confirmed what the doctor learned from reading my 4 year old records – that I’m both adrenal-deficient and growth hormone-deficient. I started on my “sprinkle” (5 mg twice a day) of Cortef now and my new doc...
The absence of a significant difference in baseline variables in a small trial does not rule out the potential impact of even a slight imbalance of these factors on treatment outcomes. Therefore an adjustment for baseline correction was per- formed by correcting the observed val...
Twenty-one women (25.6%), from among this larger study of 82 participants, reported having ever used compounded hormone therapy. Of these, eleven women (52.4%) were currently using CBHT, while ten (47.6%) were former users. While many other participants expressed interest in CBHT, our analy...
Yet ultimately the imbalance of power between trans patients and clinicians to make decisions about hormone therapy treatment plans creates this rift among patients and clinicians. Thus, DIYers navigated a tension between honesty and privacy with clinicians. Openly sharing their experiences could ...
HRT, instead of restoring the imbalance, further worsens some of the metabolic effects like hypertriglyceridemia, while decreasing low-density lipoprotein and increasing high-density lipoprotein levels [34]. It is notable that HRT appears to decrease the risk of diabetes mellitus type 2; however, ...
[9], highlighting once again the existence of a vicious circle in which accumulation of Aβ, decrease of autophagy flux and increase of inflammatory mechanisms due to metabolic imbalance contribute to different aspects of aging and to the progression of detrimental age-related diseases, such as AD...
an imbalance occurs in various organs, as well as the reproductive organs. Glucocorticoids affect testicular function at several levels: (1) in the hypothalamus, they decrease the synthesis and release of GnRH; (2) in the pituitary, which inhibits the synthesis and release of luteinizing hormone ...
(ROS) and a carbohydrate imbalance [15]. In addition to ethylene and auxin, other hormones are implicated in the acquisition of competence, as well as the activation and execution of abscission, including abscisic acid (ABA), jasmonic acid (JA) and cytokinins (CKs), while yet others have ...
(MMP) imbalance [4,5]. Moreover, functional alterations, biomechanical factors, aging, and metabolic disorders are predisposing factors increasing the risk of re-injury [1,2]. The process of tendinopathy involves collagen matrix and tenocytes [6,7]. In physiological conditions, collagen fibers ...
