Tick-borne relapsing fever in western North America is a zoonosis caused by the spirochete bacterium, Borrelia hermsii, which transmitted bite of infected Ornithodoros hermsi ticks. The pathogen maintained natural cycles involving small rodent hosts such as chipmunks and tree squirrels, well tick vector. In order for these ticks to establish sustained viable populations, narrow set environmental parameters must exist, primarily moderate temperatures high amounts precipitation. Maximum...
Phthalates are associated with increased blood pressure in children. Large exposures to di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) among premature infants have been a cause for concern.
Preeclampsia is a major pregnancy complication that results in significant maternal and infant mortality, most of which occurs low middle-income countries. The accurate timely diagnosis preeclampsia critical management affected pregnancies to reduce fetal/neonatal morbidity yet difficulties remain establishing the rigorous based on clinical parameters alone. Biomarkers detect biochemical disease have been proposed as complements or alternatives criteria improve diagnostic accuracy. This...
Background: Disabling persistent perceived fatigue occurs in 50% of people with multiple sclerosis (MS), but mechanisms are poorly understood. Low histidine could contribute to since it is the neurotransmitter histamine precursor and low serum levels reported other diseases where common (e.g. breast cancer, kidney disease, diabetes). Serum also inversely correlated proinflammatory cytokines TNF, IFN-y), which have been linked MS fatigue.Purpose: To determine if fatigued women MS, related...
Children with Down Syndrome are more likely to have OSA (30–60%), increased severity and be obese or overweight. Etiology of in children DS is multifactorial: anatomy, low tone, lymphoid hypertrophy. In typically developing children, obesity a risk factor for severe OSA; however, there mixed findings small studies that evaluate children. Our objective study the relationship between patients. Retrospective cohort 508 pediatric syndrome patients who been seen OHSU Clinic 11/2007 1/2015. The...
