Background The global prevalence of PASC is estimated to be present in 0·43 and based on the WHO estimation 470 million worldwide COVID-19 infections, corresponds around 200 people experiencing long COVID symptoms. Despite this, its clinical features are not well-defined. Methods We collected retrospective data from 140 patients with a post-COVID-19 clinic demographics, risk factors, illness severity (graded as one-mild five-severe), functional status, 29 symptoms principal component cluster...
Some studies have suggested that statins, which cholesterol-lowering and anti-inflammatory properties, may antitumor effects. Effects of statins on inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) never been studied. We reviewed 723 patients diagnosed with primary IBC in 1995–2011 treated at The University Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Statin users were defined as being the initial evaluation. Based Ahern et al's statin classification (JNCI, 2011), clinical outcomes compared by use type (weakly...

The db/db mouse is a well-established model of diabetes. Previous reports have documented contractile dysfunction (i.e., cardiomyopathy) in these animals, although the extant literature provides limited insights into cardiac structure and function as they change over time. To better elucidate natural history cardiomyopathy mice, we performed magnetic resonance (CMR) scans on animals. CMR imaging was conducted with 4.7-T magnet female mice control db/+ littermates at 5, 9, 13, 17, 22 wk age....
Abstract Background Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a painful, disabling, and often chronic condition, where many patients transition from an acute phase with prominent peripheral neurogenic inflammation to evident central nervous system changes. Ketamine centrally acting agent believed work through blockade of N-methyl-d- aspartate receptors being increasingly used for the treatment refractory CRPS, although basis drug’s effects efficacy at different stages remains unclear. Methods...
Intracoronary infusion of bone marrow (BM) mononuclear cells after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has led to limited improvement in left ventricular function. Although experimental AMI models have implicated cytokine-related impairment progenitor cell function, this response not been investigated humans.To test the hypothesis that peripheral blood (PB) cytokines predict BM endothelial colony outgrowth and cardiac function AMI.BM PB samples were collected from 87 participants 14 21 days...
Studies suggest that people experiencing housing insecurity and homelessness (HIH) have varying experiences with food insecurity. We estimated the prevalence of identified factors associated it among HIH in United States.
Purpose To evaluate if the formation of a protein corona around ferumoxytol nanoparticles can facilitate stem cell labeling for in vivo tracking with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Materials and Methods Ferumoxytol was incubated media containing human serum (group 1), fetal bovine 2), StemPro medium 3), protamine 4), plus heparin 5). Formation characterized by means dynamic light scattering, ζ potential, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Iron uptake evaluated...
The use of tissue engineering approaches in combination with exogenously produced cardiomyocytes offers the potential to restore contractile function after myocardial injury. However, current techniques assessing changes global cardiac performance such treatments are plagued by relatively low detection ability. Since treatment is locally performed, this could be improved strain imaging that measures regional contractility.Tissue engineered heart muscles (EHMs) were generated casting human...
There is a current crisis in children's mental health. Defining social determinants of health (SDMH) facilitates investigations impact on health.To examine associations between nine SDMH and adolescent depression anxiety U.S. nationally representative sample.Poor access to care, caregiver underemployment, food insecurity, poorly built environment, housing household dysfunction adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), racism, poor education, poverty/income inequality were assessed from the 2018...
COVID-19 vaccinations reduce the severity and number of symptoms for acute SARS-CoV-2 infections may risk developing Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae (PASC). Limited heterogenous data exist on how these received after infection might impact trajectory PASC, once persistent have developed. We investigated association post-COVID-19 vaccination with any vaccine(s) PASC in two independent cohorts: a retrospective chart review self-reported from patients (n = 128) seen Stanford...
Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), or long COVID, is characterized by persistent symptoms after acute infection that can vary from patient to patient. Here, we present a case series four patients with history referred the Post-Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS) Clinic at Stanford University for evaluation symptoms, who also experienced new-onset alcohol sensitivity. Alcohol reactions and sensitivity are not well in literature as it relates post-viral illness. While there have been some...
