Here, a decision‐making mechanism underlying mechanical adaptation is demonstrated. This study demonstrates that cellular adaptation to mechanical stress can be induced by applying low‐amplitude stretch to cells. When the stretch reaches a critical amplitude threshold, it triggers Ca2⁺‐dependent positive feedback, which induces cholesterol efflux and ...

Effective antiprotease-antibiotic treatment of experimental anthrax [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Inhalation anthrax is characterized by a systemic spread of the challenge agent, Bacillus anthracis. It causes severe damage, including multiple hemorrhagic lesions, to host tissues and organs.

Characterizing the Healthcare Utilization and Costs of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia
ABSTRACT Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is the second‐most common inherited bleeding disorder worldwide, afflicting one in 4000–5000 people, and is the most morbid inherited bleeding disorder of women. HHT causes recurrent severe epistaxis, chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, heavy menstrual bleeding, and arteriovenous malformations in the ...

Determining predictors of underlying etiology and clinical deterioration in patients with physiologic instability in the emergency department [PDF]
Thesis (M.A.)--Boston UniversityShock is a critical state defined by inadequate oxygen delivery to tissues. It is well known in the critical care community that early diagnosis and treatment of shock are crucial to improving patient outcomes. However, in

Treatment of Marburg and Ebola hemorrhagic fevers: A strategy for testing new drugs and vaccines under outbreak conditions. [PDF]
The filoviruses, Marburg and Ebola, have the dubious distinction of being associated with some of the highest case-fatality rates of any known infectious disease-approaching 90% in many outbreaks.

Anti‐ADAMTS13 Antibodies Trajectory is Associated With ADAMTS13 Recovery in Immune‐Mediated TTP
Anti‐ADAMTS13 IgG antibodies titer trajectory from baseline to day 7–14 post‐TPE as a reliable approach to identify iTTP patients at risk of late response to the triplet therapy regimen. ABSTRACT Current triplet regimens associating therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), immunosuppression with corticosteroids and rituximab, and caplacizumab have ...

Impalement Thoracoabdominal Trauma Secondary to Falling on Metallic (Iron) Bars: An Extremely Rare and Unique Case [PDF]
Introduction: Penetrating thoracoabdominal injuries are potentially life threatening due to the associated hemorrhagic shock and visceral injury. Through and through penetrating injury with polytrauma is rarely encountered.

This study details the adaptations required to establish a long‐term anesthetic protocol in pigs. Three protocols were evaluated, with some causing malignant hyperthermia, hypoglycemia, or hemoynamic instability. The final protocol proved effective for developing a porcine AKI model requiring adequate arterial pressure maintenance.
