Abstract Background Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that chronic tobacco smoking directly contributes to skeletal muscle dysfunction independent of its pathological impact the cardiorespiratory systems. The mechanisms underlying smoke toxicity in are not fully resolved. In this study, role aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a transcription factor known be activated with smoke, was investigated. Methods AHR related gene (mRNA) expression quantified from adult controls and patients...
Background. Exposure of renal epithelial cells to oxalate (Ox) or calcium (CaOx) crystals leads the production reactive oxygen species and cell injury. We have hypothesized that Ox CaOx activate NADPH oxidase through upregulation its various subunits.
Acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) is a rare inflammatory retinal disease with rapid function loss, photopsias, unremarkable fundus findings, and electroretinography abnormalities. AZOOR diagnosis can be challenging due to its overlap other conditions, such as acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement syndrome autoimmune retinopathies (AIRs). Multimodal imaging, including autofluorescence optical coherence tomography, has improved detection, revealing progressive damage. Although the...
Background: Item analysis is the process of collecting, summarizing and using information from student’s responses to assess quality test items. Difficulty index discrimination are two parameters which help evaluate standard multiple choice question (MCQ) used in an examination. Materials and Methods: An internal examination Physiology was conducted at end one term. 148 students, out 150, attended exam. A total 40 MCQ were given analyzed. The data analyzed by Microsoft Excel recorded as...
To demonstrate the efficacy and safety of intravenous golimumab infusion in treating juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated anterior uveitis.
Neurosarcoidosis, a rare inflammatory condition, poses diagnostic challenge due to its various clinical presentations and potential mimics. This comprehensive review delves into the complexities of neurosarcoidosis, emphasizing importance thorough workup consideration alternative conditions, such as fungal The study explores intricacies process, particularly role histopathology, imaging, laboratory tests. current state neurosarcoidosis management is examined, use corticosteroids well novel...
Corneal thinning and perforation are ocular emergencies necessitating urgent intervention to prevent visual impairment or enucleation. Cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive is frequently used maintain globe integrity in these cases. However, gaps remain understanding the outcomes of corneal gluing factors influencing its efficacy. This case series evaluates clinical characteristics glue application perforation.
Introduction: Phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis is an inflammatory condition arising from a type IV hypersensitivity reaction, presenting with inflamed nodules on the conjunctiva and cornea. Scleritis severe ocular inflammation linked to systemic diseases, potentially vision threatening, involving immune responses similar phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis. This case report discusses patient history of herpes simplex virus (HSV)-2 infection who primarily developed conjunctivitis later...
