Autophagy in Alzheimer’s disease
Abstract Autophagy is a vesicle and lysosome-mediated degradative pathway that is essential for protein homeostasis and cell health. In particular, compared to nonneuronal cells, neurons are dependent on high basal autophagy for survival. There is...
Integrative Approaches to Caring for Children with Autism.
Parents commonly integrate complementary and alternative medical (CAM) treatments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with conventional care. The aims of this article are to (1) describe the most commonly used treatments, (2) assess their efficacy and safety, and (3) organize the information in practical format for practitioners. We organized treatment modalities into four categories: recommended, monitored, tolerated, and therapies that should be avoided. These four categories are based on a two by two table weighing a therapy׳s effectiveness and safety. To meet the threshold for “recommended,” its effectiveness needed to be supported by two or more randomized, controlled trials. In addition to promoting an overall healthy lifestyle via nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management, social support, and avoiding neurotoxins (healthy habits in a healthy habitat),
Inflammatory Bowel Disease: An Overview of Immune Mechanisms and Biological Treatments
Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are characterized by chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract associated with an imbalance of the intestinal microbiota. Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the most widely known types...
Temporal changes in tumor oxygenation and perfusion upon normo- and hyperbaric inspiratory hyperoxia.
Abstract: Inspiratory hyperoxia under hyperbaric conditions has been shown to effectively reduce tumor hypoxia and to improve radiosensitivity. However, applying irradiation (RT) under hyperbaric conditions is technically difficult in the clinical...
[Clinical analysis of sudden deafness after radiotherapy and chemotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients].
Abstract: To investigate the clinical features and therapeutic effects of sudden deafness after radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients. Clinical data of 42 nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients suffered from sudden...
Clinical presentation and microorganisms sensitivity profile for diabetic foot ulcers: a pilot study.
Abstract: Patients suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM) frequently present with infected diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). This study was done to record the anatomical site and the grade of ulcers according to Wagner's classification and to culture the...
The effect of different application timings of hyperbaric oxygen treatment on nerve regeneration in rats.
Abstract: The aim of the study was to determine the effect of different application timings of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) on nerve regeneration in rats. A total of forty 12-week-old female Wistar albino rats were used. The sciatic nerve was...
