IL‐6 signaling in acute exercise and chronic training: Potential consequences for health and athletic performance

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine &Science in Sports, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 4-19, January 2023., 2023
The cytokine interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) is involved in a diverse set of physiological processes. Traditionally, IL‐6 has been thought of in terms of its inflammatory actions during the acute phase response and in chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and obesity.

Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease presenting with a unilateral adrenocortical nodule treated with bilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2010
Introduction Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease is a rare cause of adrenocorticotropic hormone-independent Cushing's syndrome. We report an uncommon primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease case presenting with a unilateral ...

Modeling of mouse experiments suggests that optimal anti-hormonal treatment for breast cancer is diet-dependent [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Estrogen receptor positive breast cancer is frequently treated with anti-hormonal treatment such as aromatase inhibitors (AI). Interestingly, a high body mass index has been shown to have a negative impact on AI efficacy, most likely due to disturbances in steroid metabolism and adipokine production.

Compound heterozygosity of a De novo 16q24.1 deletion and missense mutation in COX4I1 leads to developmental regression, intellectual disability, and seizures

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The COX4I1 is responsible for encoding a crucial component of cytochrome c oxidase, integral to electron transport in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. Mutations in COX4I1 can result in a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth retardation, slow weight gain, microcephaly, and potentially, hematologic symptoms such as ...

Disparities in the utilization of genetic testing for non‐acquired infantile epileptic spasms syndrome in a single healthcare center in North Carolina

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To investigate disparities in the utilization of genetic sequencing among children with Infantile Epileptic Spasms Syndrome (IESS), a severe early‐onset epilepsy where timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving neurodevelopmental outcomes, previous studies have highlighted disparities in the evaluation and management of

Are physiological oscillations physiological?

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract figure legend Mechanisms and functions of physiological oscillations. Abstract Despite widespread and striking examples of physiological oscillations, their functional role is often unclear. Even glycolysis, the paradigm example of oscillatory biochemistry, has seen questions about its oscillatory function.

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Cushing's syndrome due to adrenocorticotropic hormone-secreting pheochromocytoma

CHRISMED Journal of Health and Research, 2016
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) producing pheochromocytoma is the rare cause of Cushing's syndrome (CS). Herein, we present a 53-year-old female patient with ectopic ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome due to pheochromocytoma.

On the Hardness of Problems Involving Negator Relationships in an Artificial Hormone System [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The Artificial Hormone System (AHS) is a self-organizing middleware to allocate tasks in a distributed system. We extended it by so-called negator hormones to enable conditional task structures. However, this extension increases the computational complexity of seemingly simple decision problems in the system: In [1] and [2], we defined the problems ...
