Low concentrations of plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDLs) are characteristic in metabolic syndrome (MS). The antioxidant ability HDLs is, at least part, attributable to pleiotropic serum paraoxonase (PON1). Different PON1 activities have been assessed 293 subjects with (n = 88) or without MS 205) and 195) 98) angiographically proven coronary artery disease (CAD). had low activities, a progressively decreasing trend by increasing the number abnormalities. activity versus 7-O-diethyl...
A key issue in abdominal US is the assessment of fluid, which usually anechoic, thus appearing "black". Our approach focuses on searching for fluid non-traumatic patients, providing a new, simplified method point-of-care (POCUS).Fluid based three-step analysis that we can summarize. 1. Look black where it should not be. This means effusions or collections. 2. Check if too much. evaluating anatomical landmarks normally be present but may abnormally abundant. 3. clearly black. aspects, whether...
In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) was first reported in Wuhan, China, and rapidly spread around the world, leading to an international emerging public health emergency. As from Chinese experiences, approximately 20% of patients had severe course, requiring intensive care, with overall case fatality rate 2.3%. diagnosis, chest computed tomography most commonly showed ground-glass opacity or without consolidative patterns. Herein, we report patient affected by COVID-19...
Background: A reduced activity of the 11 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 2 (11 beta-HSD2) causes hypertension by conferring aldosterone selectivity to mineralcorticoid receptors and eventually impairing tetrahydrocortisol-versus tetrahydrocortisone-metabolites (THFs/THE) shuttle. The beta-HSD2 function is modulated glucocorticoid treatment that may induce through a mechanism mostly unknown. Promoter methylation, one main epigenetic potentially modifiable feature DNA, regulates HSD11B2 gene...
