Microarray study reveals a transforming growth factor-β-dependent mechanism of fibrosis in discoid lupus erythematosus

Αλέξανδρος ΣφακιανάκηςστοMedicine by Alexandros G. SfakianakisΠριν από 3 δευτερόλεπτα
Summary Background Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is characterized by scarring lesions that develop and perpetuate fibrotic lesions. These are not observed in subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE). The pathophysiological basis of this is currently unknown. Objectives To identify contradistinctive signalling pathways and cellular signatures between the two type of lupus, with a focus on the molecular mechanisms leading to fibrosis. Methods We conducted a gene expression microarray analysis in lesional and nonlesional skin biopsy specimens of patients with DLE (*n* = 1... περισσότερα »

Intrathyroidal Oxyphilic (oncocytic) parathyroid lesions

Intrathyroidal oxyphilic parathyroid carcinoma: A potential diagnostic caveat in cytology?: Oxyphilic (oncocytic) parathyroid lesions are very uncommon and their cytological features are rarely described. Due to the similarities in anatomical location and indistinguishable cytomorphological features, these lesions are easily confused with neoplastic and non-neoplastic thyroid lesions on fine needle aspiration (FNA). The diagnosis becomes more […]

Background: The Clinical Placement Enhancement Program (CPEP) is a simulation course for medical students learning the core topics of cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, incorporating patient safety and professionalism teaching and based on adult learning principles and proven educational theory. The aims of this study are to assess whether the CPEP delivered at the beginning of […]

Iodine in commercial edible iodized salts and assessment of iodine exposure in Sri Lanka

Background: Iodine is an essential micronutrient used by the thyroid gland in the production of thyroid hormones. Both excessive and insufficient iodine intakes can cause thyroid diseases thus harmful to the human body. Inadequate iodine intake by human body causes Iodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) and hypothyroidism. Excessive iodine intake causes Iodine Induced Hyperthyroidism (IIH). Universal […]

Clinical significance of T-bet, GATA-3, and Bcl-6 transcription factor expression in bladder carcinoma

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of three immune cell-related transcription factors, T-bet, GATA-3 and Bcl-6 in bladder cancer in Tunisian patients. Methods: Expression of T-bet, GATA-3 and Bcl-6 genes was assessed using RT-qPCR in 65 bladder cancers from patients: 32 being diagnosed as low- and medium-grade, 31 as […]

Acute neck pain caused by pseudogout attack of calcified cervical yellow ligament: a case report

Background: Calcification of the yellow ligament sometimes compresses the spinal cord and can induce myelopathy. Usually, the calcification does not induce acute neck pain. We report a case of a patient with acute neck pain caused by calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate in a calcified cervical yellow ligament.Case presentationA 70-year-old Japanese woman presented with acute neck pain.

Publication date: Available online 25 April 2016 Source:Journal of Neuroradiology Author(s): Aude Pavilla, Alessandro Arrigo, Sylvie Colombani, Mehdi Mejdoubi PurposeHead-down (HD)-positioning, used in some stroke centers during early ischemic stroke management, is empirical but supported by some physiological findings. It has been shown by nonmagnetic resonance methods that this position can increase cerebral perfusion. This… Continue reading Absolute and regional cerebral perfusion assessment feasibility in head-down position with arterial spin-labeling magnetic resonance. A preli... περισσότερα »
