Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder which may be misdiagnosed with atypical conditions such as Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), due to overlapping clinical features. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs key role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. We hypothesized that identification of distinct set circulating miRNAs (cmiRNAs) could distinguish patients affected by PD from MSA and healthy individuals. Results. Using TaqMan Low Density Array...
Abstract Background Multiple sclerosis (MS), a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system, is one most prevalent neurological disorders in industrialized world. This afflicts more than two million people worldwide, over thirds which are women. MS typically diagnosed between ages 20–40 and can produce debilitating impairments including muscle spasticity, paralysis, chronic pain. Despite large sex disparity prevalence, clinical basic research investigations how estrous cycle impact...
Background: Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy has shown promising therapeutic effectiveness on bone- and cartilage-related pathologies, being also safe for management of knee osteoarthritis. Aim: The aim this study was to investigate the clinical efficacy a PEMF device osteoarthritis in elderly patients. Materials methods: A total 33 patients were screened, 28 patients, aged between 60 83 affected by bilateral osteoarthritis, enrolled study. They received right leg three 30-minute...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune-inflammatory neurodegenerative disease that often accompanied by a debilitating neuropathic pain. Disease-modifying agents slow down the progression of multiple and prevent relapses, yet it remains unclear if they yield analgesia. We explored analgesic potential fingolimod (FTY720), agonist and/or functional antagonist at sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1), because reduces hyperalgesia in models peripheral inflammatory used myelin...
J Oral Pathol Med (2012) 41 : 649–661 Free radicals play a key role in the development of several pathological conditions. Therefore, methods have been developed to measure oxidative stress from bodily fluids including blood, urine and, more recently, saliva. radical and antioxidant defences within oral cavity may odontostomatological pathologies. This review provides an update literature concerning association with conditions associated cavity. It focuses on diagnostic therapeutic...
Abstract Background hyaluronic acid (HA), a non-sulphated glycosaminoglycan, is present in synovial fluid, vitreous humour serum and many connective tissues. Pharmaceutical preparations of HA are used clinical practice for wound healing, joint pain, kerato-conjunctivitis, asthma, mouth care, oesophageal-reflux, gastritis. Moreover, it as filler to counteract ageing facial lipoatrophy. Our study aims at investigating the vitro antiviral activity high molecular weight HA. Methods MTT test was...

In we tested hypothesis that dietary supplement would improve photoaging, also promoting changes above...
