Maximal exercise at high altitude does not exacerbate inflammation in the human brain
Abstract figure legend This study investigated arterial–internal jugular venous (IJV) exchange of cytokines in response to low‐intensity and maximal cycling exercise at sea level and following 6–8 days at 3800 m a.s.l. There was a shift towards net release of interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), interleukin‐8 (IL‐8), monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1) and ...

Severe metabolic alkalosis with fludrocortisone therapy—a case report
. Background. We present an atypical case of severe metabolic alkalosis, not reported in the literature to date. Case Presentation. Owing to concerns of apneas and desaturation, a 75-year-old man presented to the emergency department with significantly ...

Hypoxia‐induced vulnerability of the somatosensory nervous system
Abstract figure legend Sensory neurons are highly energy dependent and rely on sufficient oxygen availability to maintain metabolic stability and effective neurocommunication. Within the somatosensory system, even modest reductions in tissue oxygen tension impair neuronal respiration, forcing a shift toward less efficient metabolic pathways that ...

Moderate hyperventilation during intravenous anesthesia increases net cerebral lactate efflux [PDF]
BACKGROUND:: Hyperventilation is known to decrease cerebral blood flow (CBF) and to impair cerebral metabolism, but the threshold in patients undergoing intravenous anesthesia is unknown. The authors hypothesized that reduced CBF associated with moderate

On why cancer cells require a great amount of glucose
Abstract The traditional thinking has been that cancer cells require a great amount of glucose to support their rapid growth, but the reality may be different. We have previously demonstrated that all cancer cells in The Cancer Genome Atlas harbor persistent Fenton reactions in their cytosol, which generate OH− ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ and ultimately kill the

ABSTRACT Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) can interfere with laboratory assays. HTG‐induced pancreatitis usually presents with hypocalcemia, but the effect of severe HTG, with no associated pancreatitis, on calcium levels is not well described. We present a 25‐year‐old male with severe HTG and diabetes who presented with generalized weakness, nausea ...

Two unrelated Chinese male OTCD‐suspected patients harbored an OTC synonymous variant (c.663G>A, p.Lys221Lys) and a novel de novo in‐frame variant (c.756_761dupAGCAGC, p.Ala253_Ala254dup); minigene analysis confirmed the synonymous variant induces exon 6 skipping with 41 amino acid deletion (c.541_663del, p.Glu181_Lys221del).

Unexpected metabolic alkalosis in a newborn from denied pregnancy: case report
Background Metabolic alkalosis is characterized by increased pH (> 7.45) and serum bicarbonate levels. In the early postnatal period, metabolic alkalosis is an uncommon problem, and its etiology is often due to maternal disorders. In the prenatal period,

Abstract Carrier screening for genetic conditions performed preconception or during pregnancy allows identification of fetal risk for inherited autosomal recessive and X‐linked conditions. The goal is to identify at‐risk patients/couples and offer them reproductive options such as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, prenatal testing, or targeted newborn
