Interleukin-1α (IL-1α) released by dying cells is an alarmin that activates the innate immunity. We hypothesized after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, IL-1α amplifies damage activating inflammasome and caspase-1.Adult male CD1 mice were used. The left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated for 30 minutes, 24 hours of reperfusion. An blocking antibody (15 μg/kg intraperitoneally) or matching vehicle given A subgroup underwent sham surgery. assessed effects blockade on...
Mucoadhesion, the phenomenon wherein materials, adhere for prolonged durations through interfacial forces, presents a compelling approach to address challenges of traditional drug delivery systems, such as first-pass metabolism and localized biomolecules, including proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides. Mucoadhesion has significant potential many substances multiple routes administration, ophthalmic, nasal, vaginal, buccal. Moreover, mucoadhesion facilitates sustained local or systemic...
Abstract Background There are 54,000 new cases of oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancer in the United States more than 476,000 worldwide each year. Oral squamous cell carcinoma make up most tumors with five-year survival rates 50% due to prevalence late-stage diagnoses. Improved methods early detection high-risk individuals urgently needed. We aimed assess tumorigenic biomarkers soluble CD44 (solCD44) total protein (TP) measured using rinses as affordable convenient screening tools for...
Abstract Background The number of children seeking asylum in the US has increased substantially recent years. To add to limited evidence base related US, this paper describes sociodemographic characteristics, nature human rights violations, and guardianship status served by Human Rights Clinic Miami from 2010-2021. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on affidavits for pediatric patients forensic medical psychological evaluation at 2010 2021. We determined trends among characteristics...
Use of facial mask coverings has been a strong Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendation as an essential mitigation measure in the spread SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus (COVID)-19 virus. Face utilization shown to induce changes skin microclimate, especially around perioral perinasal regions. This results increased adjustments development friction between masks underlying skin. The authors report findings 2 individuals with cancer who underwent reconstruction during COVID-19...
Atresia of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare anomaly associated with increased risk deep venous thrombosis and lower extremity stasis.; A significant number patients caval atresia remain asymptomatic however, due to compensatory collateral networks. Over time, these tributaries may become insufficient lead hypertension subsequent ulcer formation. The following case report describes 54-year-old male sickle cell trait who presented IVC successfully underwent technically challenging...
