Does osteoporosis cause blindness? Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma syndrome is a rare condition characterized by severe thinning of the bones (osteoporosis) and eye abnormalities thatlead to vision loss. In people with this condition, osteoporosis is usually recognized in early childhood. Can weak bones be g...
The increased CSF production is the result of anincreased activity of Na+-K+ATPase at the choroid plexus level, which establishes a sodium gradient across the choroid epithelial cells, as well as of an elevated CBF (66). What are the four functions of the cerebrospinal fluid? CSF performs v...
[63] found a typical LE pattern in 83% of cases, while the remaining cases showed either non-LE (4%) or encephalopathy (13%, with no MRI and CSF anomalies). Along with anti-LGI1, anti-CASPR2 (contactin-associated protein-like 2) antibodies are part of the voltage-gated potassium ...
1- inhibit bacterial cell wall synthesis:-what does this cause to happen? is it caused by baceteriocidal or static agents??2. disrupts or alters membrane permiability--what does this cause to happen? is it caused by bactericidal...
[65,66,67,68]. This view is based on neuropathological, serological, and immune cellular findings demonstrating abnormal antibody presence in CSF and lesions, CNS B cell infiltration, abnormal pro-inflammatory cytokine production by B cells, increased levels of B cell-relevant cytokines and ...
There was increased activation in the left orbitofrontal cortex, and relative re- ductions in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in chronic abusers. Rat. There were initially profound effects of acute stimu- lant withdrawal on several parameters of performance on the 5CSRTT (though not ...
this can result in a vein inflammation (phlebitis), initiate a coagulation cascade, form a repairing thrombus, and evolve in a local inflammation (thrombophlebitis), as well as a systemic inflammatory reaction with significantly increased levels of white blood cells and plasma C-reactive protein....
CSF biomarkers that come closest to fulfilling these requirements are β-amyloid protein of 42 amino acids (Aβ1-42 ), total tau protein (T-tau) and hyper- phosphorylated tau (P-tau) in CSF. However, assessment of these biomarkers still means obtaining CSF through a lumbar puncture, which...
particular subpopulation of cells. For instance, cancer cells could gain a selective advantage over host cells if their pHe optimum range is shifted towards a more acidic level and, concurrently, their glycolytic output is increased. This combination is expected to reduce pHe to a level that is ...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) binds to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2; step 1 in the left and right panels) on the host-cell membrane and undergoes a conformational change in the spike protein subunit 1 (S1) leading to exposure of the S2′ cleavage sit...
