Guinea pig osteoarthrosis : morphological and biochemical studies
(1999-02-04)
Hartley guinea pigs spontaneously and reproducibly develop an arthropathy mimicking human primary osteoarthrosis. The morphological lesions first appear between 6 and 12 months of age, when it is confined to the ...
Assisted reproduction technology in men with ejaculatory dysfunction with special reference to spinal cord injury
(1998-05-16)
four resulted in a delivery and one resulted in a spontaneous abortion. One additional pregnancy was achieved after transfer of cryopreserved embryos. The fertilization rate (FR) was 54% (33/61) and the cleavage rate was 97% (32/33). No complications...
Cellular immunity and inflammation in atherosclerosis
(2001-11-09)
Atherosclerosis, the major cause of death and disability in western countries, is nowadays recognized as an inflammatory disease. Low density lipoprotein (LDL), the major carrier of cholesterol in plasma, is trapped in the ...
Association between diet and treatment results in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus
(2016-11-07)
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are chronic autoimmune inflammatory diseases. The causes of these diseases are unknown and evidence indicates that a combination of both genetic and environmental ...
Gestational age and size at birth and risk of esophageal inflammation and cancer
(2013-01-21)
(OR 2.7, 95% CI 2.2-3.5 and OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.3-1.7, respectively), and even more so among those diagnosed before 10 years of age (OR 6.8, 95% CI 4.7-10.0 and OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.6-2.5, respectively). We found an increased risk of being diagnosed...
Survival and renal function after acute kidney injury : epidemiological and biomarker studies
(2018-01-10)
significantly higher crude mortality at one (48.4% vs 24.6%) and five years (61.8% vs 39.1%) compared to non-AKI patients. CKD and ESRD were significantly more common in AKI survivors at one year (adjusted incidence rate ratio (IRR) 7.6 and 22.5 respectively...
Tissue microbiology : an integrated approach for intravital studies of host-pathogen interactions
(2017-05-08)
A bacteria infection in the living host is the summation of a myriad of interactions. Reductionistic and sacrificial experiment models cannot replicate this complexity. The Tissue Microbiology approach overcomes this by ...
Resolution of inflammation as a therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease
(2015-05-07)
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, clinically manifested by memory impairment, loss of ability in conducting daily activity and increased need for care, thus causing immense suffering for ...
Signalling pathways controlling bacterial adaptation
(2009-03-27)
The conversion of environmental signals into cellular responses is a critically important process that occurs in all organisms. The ability to process information depends, in general, on complex signal transduction and ...
Dynamics of the HIV-2-specific immunoglobulin A(IgA) response
(2005-04-01)
did not give a reduction of serum IgA. Moreover, a sustained serum IgA neutralizing capacity against HIV-2 was displayed during 8 years of follow-up. Thus, serum IgA may be associated with the lower pathogenesis and lower transmisson rates seen in HIV...
