Lipocalin-2 Serum Levels in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Treated with Adalimumab and Its Correlation with Proinflammatory Factors. [PDF]
Background. Obesity is associated with an increased risk for different chronic diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In fact, adipose tissue is now recognized as an endocrine organ able to secrete a wide variety of factors called adipokines, which have been demonstrated to participate in the pathophysiology of RA by ...

Excitation and contraction of cardiac muscle and coronary arteries of brain‐dead pigs
A large animal (porcine) model for 12‐hour brain death was used to examine properties of the donor heart. The model mimicked the characteristics of human brain death with catecholaminergic surge and arterial pressure drop. Isolated trabecular preparations and cells revealed shorter action potentials, lower Ca2+ transients and impaired shortening ...

Micro‐CT guided illustration of the head anatomy of penguins (Aves: Sphenisciformes: Spheniscidae)
This illustration is a composite left lateral view of the deeper muscles of the head of a little penguin (Eudyptula minor) and a micro‐computed tomography image of the skull from which the bony elements were drawn, demonstrating the usefulness of traditional illustration, informed by more modern methods as well as dissection, in understanding the ...

Calculation of the Lumbosacral Segment Volume of the Spinal Cord in Ducks (Anas) Using the Stereological Method. [PDF]
In the statistical evaluation made in terms of whole segment volume values, it was determined that there was a difference between the segments. It is seen that there is a statistical difference in terms of white matter and grey matter volume values. Differences were also detected in GM/LSS and GM/WM values.

E74-like ETS transcription factor 3 expression and regulation in human intervertebral disc. [PDF]
This research unveils, for the first time, the role of ELF3 in intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). It sheds light on the intricate interplay between ELF3 expression and the inflammatory as well as degenerative processes inherent to IVDD. Understanding the role of ELF3 in disc pathophysiology may hold potentials in developing therapies aimed at ...

Closure of the neuro-central synchondrosis and other physes in foal cervical spines. [PDF]
Abstract Background The neuro‐central synchondrosis (NCS) is a physis responsible for the growth of the dorsal third of the vertebral body and neural arches. When the NCS of pigs is tethered to model scoliosis, stenosis also ensues. It is necessary to describe the NCS for future evaluation of its potential role in equine spinal cord compression and ...

INFECCIONES PIÓGENAS DE LA COLUMNA VERTEBRAL
Resumen: Las infecciones espinales son cuadros clínicos poco frecuentes, que exigen un alto índice de sospecha. La prevalencia de infecciones piógenas de la columna ha ido en aumento, en parte debido al envejecimiento de la población y a un mayor número de pacientes inmunocomprometidos. El estudio imagenológico se puede iniciar con radiografías simples,
