Validation of an mHealth System for Monitoring Fundamental Physiological Parameters in the Clinical Setting

Sensors
The aim of this work was to validate the measurements of three physiological parameters, namely, body temperature, heart rate, and peripheral oxygen saturation, captured with an out-of-the-lab device using measurements taken with clinically proven ...

Forced-Air Warming Provides Better Control of Body Temperature in Porcine Surgical Patients

Veterinary Sciences, 2016
Background: Maintaining normothermia during porcine surgery is critical in ensuring subject welfare and recovery, reducing the risk of immune system compromise and surgical-site infection that can result from hypothermia.

Evaluation and modification of tumor cell isolation techniques from malignant effusions for rapid drug sensitivity testing

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Non‐small cell lung cancer targeted treatment is limited to a few known genetic alterations, with few alternatives in advanced treatment lines. To direct treatment decisions by drug sensitivity testing (DST), this study compared several methods for tumor cell isolation from malignant effusions, pointing to repeated CD45+ cell depletion for effective ...

Causes of polymorphic melanism and its thermoregulatory function in a parasitoid wasp Meteorus pulchricornis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2013
We investigated the variation in body colour and its thermoregulatory function in Meteorus pulchricornis (Wesmael) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a parasitoid wasp of Spodoptera and other free-living lepidopteran larvae. We show that the body colour of adult

Body Temperature Regulation in Hot Environments

PLoS ONE, 2016
Organisms in hot environments will not be able to passively dissipate metabolically generated heat. Instead, they have to revert to evaporative cooling, a process that is energetically expensive and promotes excessive water loss. To alleviate these costs,

Cytomegalovirus infection is common in prostate cancer and antiviral therapies inhibit progression in disease models

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Human cytomegalovirus infection is common in normal prostate epithelium, prostate tumor tissue, and prostate cancer cell lines. CMV promotes cell survival, proliferation, and androgen receptor signaling. Anti‐CMV pharmaceutical compounds in clinical use inhibited cell expansion in prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo, motivating investigation ...

Is there a fever phobia present in parents of young children?

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2005
Background: Fever is one of the most common reasons for parents to seek medical attention for their child. Parents are commonly very concerned about their child’s fever and sometimes this overconcern can almost reach the level of a phobia. This is due to

Ghrelin is essential for lowering blood pressure during torpor

Frontiers in Endocrinology
IntroductionDaily torpor is an active hypothermic phenomenon that is observed in some mammals and birds during fasting. A decrease in blood pressure has also been observed in torpor; however, there remains a lack of knowledge of the underlying mechanism.

When water interacts with temperature: Ecological and evolutionary implications of thermo‐hydroregulation in terrestrial ectotherms

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The regulation of body temperature (thermoregulation) and of water balance (defined here as hydroregulation) are key processes underlying ecological and evolutionary responses to climate fluctuations in wild animal populations.

Endoglin mediates the tumor‐ and metastasis‐promoting traits of stromal myofibroblasts in human breast carcinomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Carcinoma‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in tumors influence cancer progression. We identified endoglin (ENG) as a key factor in TGF‐β signaling in myofibroblastic CAFs (myCAFs), linked to poor breast cancer outcomes. Inhibiting ENG on myCAFs suppressed the TGF‐β‐Smad2/3 pathway, reducing primary tumor growth and metastasis.
