Cardiac arrest in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) is a rare event, and although some patients appear to be at greater risk, there is no consensus on clear risk factors. We present a case of a 23-year-old male patient, with a known history of WPW pattern, who suffered an out of hospital ventricular fibrillation after the consumption of rather small…[Read more]

Among 280 PCI subjects in a nested inflammatory biomarker substudy, the primary biomarker end point, change in interleukin-6 concentrations did not differ between groups 1-hour post-PCI but increased less 24 hours post-PCI in the colchicine (n=141) versus placebo group (n=139; 76% [-6 to 898] versus 338% [27 to 1264], P=0.02). High-sensitivity…[Read more]

INTRODUCTION It is common practice to prescribe prophylactic antiepileptic drugs (AED) to high-grade glioma (HGG) patients without a history of seizures, yet with limited evidence supporting its use. Ideally, the effectiveness of prophylactic anticonvulsants must outweigh the occurrence of adverse effects and interactions related to AED. The…[Read more]

The repair of segmental bone defects and bone fractures is a clinical challenge involving high risk and postsurgical morbidity. Bone injury and partial bone tumor resection via traditional bone grafting result in high complications. Growth factors have been proposed as alternatives to promote bone repair and formation and circumvent these…[Read more]

We recommend high quality research on dropout due to physical health problems, as well as on the prevention/treatment of physical complaints. OBJECTIVE This study aims to analyze the presence of oxidative stress and activity of the antioxidant system in the parotid and submandibular salivary glands of rats with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). DESIGN…[Read more]

3%), but experienced an extraordinary difference of proliferation dynamics among the six clades identified; moreover, most of them exhibited a very recent and current proliferation, suggesting that some copies of these transposons are putatively active. Additionally, at least four functional genes derived from Tc1/mariner transposons were found.…[Read more]
