Gluconeogenesis (Latin for “The making of new sugar”) is the process where the liver converts protein to glucose. This goes on all the time to some extent but is suppressed in the presence of adequate amounts of insulin and drinking alcohol. In type one patients who are no longer able ...
Another Stent-PCI is conducted and a beta-blocker is prescribed due to the CAD progression. Since T1, a primary Parkinson syndrome and a peripheral neuropathy have been newly diagnosed. The number of prescriptions has risen from 5 oral drugs to 11. At T3, Mr. P is 75 years old. He ...
Pomalidomide and dexamethasone -- shown to kill cancer cells and stop them from multiplying Bortezomib and pegylated doxorubicin -- significantly reduces risk of disease progression by 45%. (Peripheral neuropathy related to bortezomib happens in almost half of cases.) ...
ARTICLE Spinocerebellar ataxia: Patient and health professional perspectives on whether and how patents affect access to clinical genetic testing Ashton Powell, PhD1, Subhashini Chandrasekharan, PhD2, and Robert Cook-Deegan, MD2 Abstract: Genetic testing for spinocerebellar ataxia is used in diagnosis ...
Kidney damage from diabetes is called diabetic nephropathy. The onset of kidney diseaseand its progression are extremely variable. Initially, diseased small blood vessels in the kidneys cause the leakage of protein in the urine. Later on, the kidneys lose their ability to cleanse and filter blood...
People with RA may experience an increase in symptoms, called "flares," that can last for days or weeks. They may also have periods of remission where they have few or no symptoms. There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, but medications can stop the progression of the disease and ease...
Intravenous insulin therapy is a treatment procedure to control high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) in ICU patients. Rapid and efficient control of hyperglycemia improves recovery rates and reduces mortality in critically ill patients. People with diabetes
Even when the risk of complications later in life is acknowledged, they are too distant to seem urgent. Only the arrival of NCDs’ predictable complications is unmistakable: heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, limb amputation, blindness, peripheral neuropathy, among others. Table 2 points to a...
The purpose of this review is to accelerate the work in the field and motivate progression towards presenting the mechanism-based antipruritic action of BoNTs, which can potentially strengthen, accelerate, and facilitate their approval for itchy conditions. 2. Clinical Evidence for the Use of BoNT...
