Physical examination in elderly patients with asthma is usually nonspecific and might misguide the diagnosis: a negative examination result does not rule out asthma, and wheezing can be found in a number of conditions, such as COPD, recurrent aspiration, and “cardiac asthma” (congestive heart ...

After an initial treadmill stress test, the subjects were administered garlic oil for 6 weeks, and treadmill stress tests were repeated. In comparison with the initia...

In contrast, SSRIs do not exert such an effect but instead reduce the firing rate in the noradrenergic locus coeruleus [145] involved in generating cardiac sympathetic activity [146]. Consequently, the different effects of antidepressant medication classes on cardiac sympathetic effects appear to have...
Our studies are unique as they show for the first time that the 1q21.1 CNV not only causes changes in the expression of its key integral genes, associated with changes at the protein level, but also results in changes in their known function, in the case of AMPK, and newly identified fu...
