Is there an association between fibromyalgia and below-normal levels of urinary cortisol?

BMC Research Notes, 2008
Background Adynamia in fibromyalgia (FM) may be an expression of a functional deficit of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and be associated with below-normal levels of urinary cortisol. Our aim was to demonstrate that urinary cortisol was lower in

Occupational Exposure to Factory‐Derived Particulate Matter 2.5 Induces Cutaneous Toxicity in Workers and HaCaT Keratinocytes Through Oxidative Stress and Inflammation

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the toxicological effects of occupational exposure to factory‐derived particulate matter (PM2.5) on human skin, emphasizing its role as a potential target organ of environmental toxicants. An epidemiological survey comparing factory and nonfactory workers was conducted by assessing their skin elasticity and color ...

Etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of peri‐implantitis: A European perspective

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Peri‐implantitis is a plaque‐associated pathological condition occurring in tissues around dental implants. It is characterized by inflammation in the peri‐implant mucosa and progressive loss of supporting bone. Over the last 30 years, peri‐implantitis has become a major disease burden in dentistry.

Evaluation of an automated fluorescence polarization immunoassay for vancomycin [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1983
An automated fluorescence polarization immunoassay for the determination of vancomycin levels in serum was evaluated. The vancomycin assay is a homogeneous competitive inhibition immunoassay based on changes in fluorescence polarization that occur with antibody binding.

Improved platelet recovery in cryopreserved platelets reconstituted in freeze‐dried plasma

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cryopreserved platelets can support availability in settings where fresh platelets are inaccessible. Freeze‐dried plasma (FDP) may serve as an alternative reconstitution medium to fresh frozen plasma (FFP) when plasma thawing is impractical. The effects of FDP on cryopreserved platelet quality remain underexplored. Thus, we aimed to

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...
