ROS-mediated bidirectional regulation of miRNA results in distinct pathologic heart conditions [PDF]
, 2015 Under distinct pathological heart conditions, the expression of a single miRNA can display completely opposite patterns. However, the mechanism underlying the bidirectional regulation of a single miRNA and the clinical implications of this regulation ...

The effects of curvature and constriction on airflow and energy loss in pathological tracheas
Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2016 This paper considers factors that play a significant role in determining inspiratory pressure and energy losses in the human trachea. Previous characterisations of pathological geometry changes have focussed on relating airway constriction and subsequent pressure loss, however many pathologies that affect the trachea cause deviation, increased ...

A standardized ultrasound approach in neuralgic amyotrophy. [PDF]
, 2023 Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA), also referred to as idiopathic brachial plexitis and Parsonage-Turner syndrome, is a peripheral nerve disorder characterized by acute severe shoulder pain followed by progressive upper limb weakness and muscle atrophy. While NA

Apraclonidine and my pupil [PDF]
, 2011 Purpose Used in the diagnosis of Horner's syndrome, apraclonidine 1% dilatates the involved eye due to denervation supersensitivity. Recent literature suggests that in healthy volunteers, apraclonidine provokes a mild miotic effect.

Platelet TGF-β1 contributions to plasma TGF-β1, cardiac fibrosis, and systolic dysfunction in a mouse model of pressure overload [PDF]
, 2012 Circulating platelets contain high concentrations of TGF-β1 in their α-granules and release it on platelet adhesion/activation. We hypothesized that uncontrolled in vitro release of platelet TGF-β1 may confound measurement of plasma TGF-β1 in mice and ...

Ultrasonographic identification of nerve pathology in neuralgic amyotrophy: Enlargement, constriction, fascicular entwinement, and torsion [PDF]
Muscle & Nerve, 2015 ABSTRACTIntroductionThe aim of this study was to characterize the ultrasonographic findings on nerves in neuralgic amyotrophy.MethodsFourteen patients with neuralgic amyotrophy were examined using high‐resolution ultrasound.ResultsFour types of abnormalities were found: (1) focal or diffuse nerve/fascicle enlargement (57%); (2) incomplete nerve ...

Restrictive cardiomyopathy versus constrictive pericarditis: role of endomyocardial biopsy in avoiding unnecessary thoracotomy. [PDF]
, 1987 Despite careful clinical, noninvasive, and hemodynamic assessment of patients with constrictive/restrictive physiology, the differentiation of restrictive cardiomyopathy from constrictive pericarditis remains difficult.
