Abstract This prospective cohort study is aimed to investigate circadian variations in corneal parameters, focusing on sleep-deprived subjects. Sixty-four healthy individuals (age range: 21–76 years) actively participated this study, undergoing examinations at least five times within a 24-hour timeframe. The analysis encompassed keratometric parameters of the cornea’s front (F) and back (B) surfaces, refractive power flattest steepest axes (K1, K2), astigmatism (Astig) its axis (Axis),...
The present study reports for the first time distribution of androgen receptor immunoreactivity (AR-ir) in human hypothalamus ten subjects (five men and five women) ranging age between 20 years 39 using antibody PG21. Prolonged postmortem delay (72:00 hours) or fixation (100 days) did not influence AR-ir. In men, intense nuclear AR-ir was found neurons horizontal limb diagonal band Broca, lateromamillary nucleus (LMN), medial mamillary (MMN). An intermediate staining sexually dimorphic...
Changes in cardiac substrate utilisation leading to altered energy metabolism may underlie the development of diabetic cardiomyopathy. We studied cardiomyocyte uptake and role fatty acid translocase CD36 relation vivo function rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD). Rats were exposed an HFD or low-fat (LFD). In was monitored by echocardiography. Substrate determined isolated cardiomyocytes. Feeding for 8 weeks induced left ventricular dilation systolic phase decreased fractional shortening ejection...
Abstract Objective The CACNA1A gene encodes the pore‐forming subunit of neuronal Ca V 2.1 2+ channels. In patients, S218L mutation causes a dramatic hemiplegic migraine syndrome that is associated with ataxia, seizures, and severe, sometimes fatal, brain edema often triggered by only mild head trauma. Methods We introduced into mouse Cacna1a studied mechanisms for analyzing phenotypic, molecular, electrophysiological consequences. Results mice faithfully mimic clinical features human...
Transcutaneous PO2, heart rate, and aortic blood pressure were measured i 10 mechanically-ventilated newborn infants to assess the degree course of hypoxaemia, monitor cardiovascular respiratory changes during tracheal toilet.

Hypoxaemia (TcPO2 50 mmHg) occurred in 7 initially well-oxygenated when suctioned....
A link exists between low birth weight and diseases in adulthood, such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) has been used to explain this association shown lead a nephron endowment humans. reduction glomerular number described animal models with induced well but not animals spontaneous weight. It therefore is debatable whether the are suitable. The effect on size was studied rats naturally occurring IUGR experimental IUGR, by...

We aimed to determine the effects of night-shift work on corneal parameters in thirty-five healthy individuals (24–59 years) a retrospective cohort study. Among them, 12 hospital nurses regularly worked two shifts, spending third their nights awake, whereas 23 age-matched controls never shifts and slept regularly. Measurements were performed at least five times within h. analyzed keratometric front (F) back (B) surfaces, including refractive power flattest steepest axes (K1, K2), astigmatism...
In a previous study we found androgen receptor (AR) sex differences in several regions throughout the human hypothalamus. Generally, men had stronger nuclear AR immunoreactivity (AR-ir) than women. The strongest labeling was caudal hypothalamus mamillary body complex (MBC), which is known to be involved aspects of cognition and sexual behavior. present carried out investigate whether difference AR-ir MBC related orientation or gender identity (i.e. feeling being male female) circulating...
<b><i>Purpose:</i></b> To study the association between different types of mediators in tear fluid and topographic indices characterizing severity keratoconus (KC). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> In this study, nonstimulated samples were collected from 14 eyes 11 patients with KC. The following measured by corneal topography: maximum K value, average Klyce/Maeda index (KCI), Smolek/Klyce index, opposite sector center/surround prediction standard...
Abstract Our purpose was to prospectively analyze the age-related changes of corneal Scheimpflug parameters in healthy subjects. Thirty-five eyes 35 volunteers (age 14–67 years) were investigated with an average interval 3.6 years. Changes (flattest keratometric reading at anterior (K1F) and posterior surface (K1B), steepest (K2F) surface, astigmatism, astigmatism (AstigB), flat axis (AxisB), thinnest pachymetric value (PachyMin), volume (CV10-mm)) analyzed. K1F K2F decreased significantly...
Decussations of descending fibers the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) were investigated by using Phaseolus vulgaris-leucoagglutinin (PHA-L) in intact and brainstem-operated rats. Fibers descend ipsilaterally along brainstem spinal cord decussate at four levels: 1) Supramamillary decussations (SM). PVN reach this area through lateral hypothalamus third ventricle dorsal hypothalamus. In posterior some crossover SM terminate supramamillary region bilaterally. 2) Pontine tegmentum....
Keratoconus (KC) is the most common primary corneal ectatic disease which has considerable importance in public health. Corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) a procedure to mitigate progression of KC and reduce demand for transplantation. Although studies have proven efficacy CXL regarding shape, none investigated effects on tear biomarkers are useful tools understand molecular mechanisms behind CXL. Our purpose was determine effect mediators patients with analyze associations changes. Tear...
The release of different cytokines and mediators in tears patients with keratoconus (KC) wearing contact lenses (CLs) may contribute to the pathology KC.Cohort study was established KC rigid gas permeable (RGP) CL (group I), ametropia silicone hydrogel (Si-Hi) II) ametropic RGP III).Our findings indicate that before wear, epidermal growth factor (EGF) tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) attenuated, whereas matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, interleukin (IL)-6, chemokine (C-C motif)...
Purpose: To find immunomediator combinations which could sensitively indicate keratoconus progression.Methods: Tear samples of 42 patients with were collected at baseline and the end a one-year follow-up. The concentrations 13 mediators measured by CBA. Based on Pentacam HR examination, eyes divided into non-progressive progressive group.Results: At follow-up, significant differences observed in release IFNγ, IL-13, IL-17A, CCL5, MMP-13 PAI-1 between two groups. Changes five parameters...
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is one of the major causes short stature in child- and adulthood. The cause IUGR unknown, however, an impaired uteroplacental function during second half human pregnancy might be important factor, by affecting programming somatotropic axis leading to postnatal failure into Two rat models with perinatally induced retardation were used examine long-term effects perinatal insults on growth. rats prepared from pregnant dams, a bilateral uterine artery...
