Salivary cortisol, job stress, and periodontal disease in nursing staff [PDF]

Revista de Odontologia da UNESP
Introduction Cortisol is recognized as a biomarker of stress, playing a crucial role in the regulation of various physiological systems. However, when released chronically, it can adversely affect periodontal tissues by diminishing their immune response,

Rethinking Perioperative Corticosteroids in Esophageal Cancer Surgery: Evidence From an Integrative Meta‐Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Esophagectomy remains a highly invasive procedure associated with substantial postoperative morbidity. Pulmonary complications, anastomotic leakage, and in‐hospital mortality are of particular concern. Perioperative corticosteroids are often administered to attenuate excessive inflammatory responses; however, the clinical impact in ...

Clinical Insights From a Case of Sifrim‐Hitz‐Weiss Syndrome With a CHD4 Variant: Expanding the Phenotypic Spectrum and Its Response to Growth Hormone Therapy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance clinicians' understanding of Sifrim‐Hitz‐Weiss syndrome (SIHIWES), this study investigated the clinical phenotypes, genetic characteristics, and response to growth hormone therapy in a patient. A case of a patient with global developmental delay and distinctive facial features is presented.

From Multiple Congenital Anomalies to Pituitary Gland Malformation: Wide Spectrum of Clinical Features in a Family With FOXA2 Variant

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT FOXA2 (hepatocyte nuclear factor‐3β, HNF‐3β) encodes a transcriptional activator involved in early embryogenesis, particularly in the patterning and differentiation of midline structures such as the neural tube, foregut, and pituitary gland. Its role in human pathogenesis was first suspected when patients with deletion of chromosome 20p11.2 ...

The Voice of Cantú: Lower Voice Pitch Is a New Phenotypic Feature of Cantú Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cantú syndrome (CS) is a rare genetic condition caused by pathogenic variants in either ABCC9 or KCNJ8, leading to gain‐of‐function of KATP‐channels. The main clinical features are hypertrichosis and cardiovascular abnormalities. This study investigates the voice characteristics in individuals with CS, an aspect that has received little ...

Cortisol

, 2005
Les hormones corticoesteroides són essencials per a la regulació d'una gran varietat de processos fisiològics. El cortisol és el principal corticoesteroide en peixos teleostis, amb funcions glucocorticoides i mineralocorticoides. És el principal indicador de la resposta a l'estrès, i la principal hormona en el control de l'osmorregulació en peixos ...

Cytosolic Phosphoenoylpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency: Clinical, Biochemical, and Genetic Features of Five Non‐Finnish Patients

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cytosolic phosphoenoylpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK‐C) is an essential, rate‐limiting enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway. PEPCK‐C deficiency presents with hypoglycaemia, hyperlactataemia and hepatopathy, and was first reported in association with bi‐allelic PCK1 variants in 2014.

Metabolic and biochemical profiling reveals phenotypic heterogeneity in Zucker diabetic fatty rats

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Genetically uniform Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats spontaneously develop four distinct metabolic phenotypes despite identical housing and diet conditions. Each phenotype exhibits unique biomarker signatures encompassing glucose homeostasis, insulin secretion, polyol pathway activation, oxidative stress, inflammatory cytokines, and neurotrophic ...

Molecular characterization of the A52 murine hepatocellular carcinoma cell line

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a poor outcome cancer with limited therapeutic choices. To advance therapeutic development we genetically characterized the A52 murine HCC cell line. We noted genetic changes that match a subset of human HCC and this offers the opportunity to test novel targeted therapies in syngeneic mice.
