Uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) is the inner mitochondrial membrane protein that a specific marker for and mediator of nonshivering thermogenesis in brown adipocytes.This study was performed to better understand putative thermogenic function human epicardial fat.We measured expression UCP-1 adipocyte differentiation transcription factors PR-domain-missing 16 (PRDM16) peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor gamma co-activator-1 alpha (PGC-1 alpha) epicardial, substernal, sc thoracic,...
PURPOSE Lung cancer screening saves lives, but implementation is challenging. We evaluated two approaches to early lung detection—low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) and program-based management of incidentally detected nodules. METHODS A prospective observational study enrolled patients in the detection programs. For context, we compared them with managed a Multidisciplinary Care Program. clinical stage distribution, surgical resection rates, 3- 5-year survival eligibility for LDCT...

To evaluate right ventricular abnormalities with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in patients arrhythmia but without arrhythmogenic dysplasia.In 53 being evaluated for and 15 control subjects, MR was performed to fixed thinning, fatty replacement, or reduced systolic wall thickening motion. A diagnosis of idiopathic outflow tract tachycardia indeterminate assigned each patient, the severity categorized.Right were revealed 32 (60%) patients: thinning 27 (84%), replacement eight (25%), motion...
IntroductionWe compared NSCLC treatment and survival within outside a multidisciplinary model of care from large community health system.MethodsWe implemented rigorously benchmarked "enhanced" Multidisciplinary Thoracic Oncology Conference (eMTOC) used Tumor Registry data (2011–2017) to evaluate guideline-concordant care. Because eMTOC was located in metropolitan Memphis, we separated non-MTOC patient by regional location. We categorized National Comprehensive Cancer Network as "preferred,"...
Aims: Obesity is associated with a chronic systemic low-grade inflammatory state.Markers of inflammation such as TNF-␣ are linked increased risk for insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.The objective the present study was to dissect molecular mechanisms that may regulate TNF-␣-induced in human adipose tissue.Methods: We analyzed impact on glucose uptake action visceral sc adipocytes.The contribution different intracellular signaling pathways metabolic effects reversal some these nuclear...
