Background: Exposure to sulfur mustard (SM; 2,2′-dichlorodiethyl sulfide) causes toxicity in the human body, particularly lungs. The molecular mechanisms of SM-induced lung damage are elusive, and no effective treatments exist. This study explores anti-inflammatory potential cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) activation mitigating acute injury (ALI) inflammation induced by 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES), a structural analog SM. Methods: C57BL/6J mice were exposed CEES via intratracheal...
On average there are approximately 50 confirmed shark attacks worldwide annually. Despite their rarity, such incidents often generate much public and media attention.The injuries of 86 consecutive victims attack were reviewed from 1980 to 1999. Clinical data retrieved the South African Shark Attack Files, maintained by Natal Sharks Board, retrospectively analyzed determine nature, treatment, outcome injuries.The majority (n = 68 [81%]) had relatively minor that required simple primary...
Background The red blood cell (RBC) storage lesion is a series of morphological, functional, and metabolic changes that RBCs undergo following collection, processing, refrigerated for clinical use. Since the biochemical attributes RBC unit shifts with time, transfusion older products may contribute to cardiac complications, including hyperkalemia arrest. We measured direct effect age on electrophysiology compared it hyperkalemia, prominent biomarker severity. Methods Results Donor were...
Spontaneous carotid artery aneurysms are infrequently reported, and almost always non-atherosclerotic.The records of 29 patients with a spontaneous aneurysm treated in an academic vascular unit between 1990 1998 were reviewed.All black South Africans; three had bilateral aneurysms. There 24 men five women, mean age 35 (range 13-62) years. Some 25 involved the common artery, 12 which affected bifurcation, seven located internal artery. Twenty-five managed surgically, four ligated owing to...
A young lady presented with an 8-day history of cramping pain in her right hand ischaemic index and middle fingers (figure 1).Examination revealed no palpable pulses the upper limb, aneurysms, thrills or audible heart murmurs.An electrocardiogram was normal.An arterial duplex scan showed turbulent waveforms subclavian artery triphasic distally.Arch angiography aberrant 2) small thrombi occluding digital vessels fingers.She developed progressive lower-limb oedema a venous confirmed...
The use of GLP-1 agonists very common for treatment diabetes and weight management. purpose this review is to provide background information on the mechanism how work along with different considerations patients who may be therapy. paper will also briefly literature impact have major adverse cardiovascular events, including stroke. Lastly, some guidance management present hospital a stroke agonist
