Sustained ventricular arrhythmias that occur early post-myocardial infarction (MI) are generally considered epiphenomena of the MI and are not consistently associated with long-term prognosis.

Cyclodextrin Dimers Functionalized with Biotin as Nanocapsules for Active Doxorubicin Delivery Against MCF-7 Breast Cell Line. [PDF]
The complex of biotin‐cyclodextrin dimers and doxorubicin protects and delivers the drug, while the recognition between biotin and the SVMT receptor improves the doxorubicin intracellular uptake. Abstract Cyclodextrin dimers have been investigated as potential nanocapsules of biomolecules.

Keratinocytes Join Forces with Immune Cells in the Prosecution of SMVT as a “False” Biotin Transporter [PDF]
SMVT, a sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter, was cloned in our laboratory first from rat placenta (Prasad et al, 1998) and subsequently from human placenta (Wang et al, 1999) and rabbit intestine (Prasad et al, 1999). This transporter mediates the active transport of three different water-soluble vitamins, namely biotin, pantothenate, and lipoate

Superior mesenteric venous thrombosis (SMVT) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening disorder. We describe a cirrhotic patient with hepatocellular carcinoma who had partial SMVT for at least 28 months. Our experience may help in the management of

SUPERIOR MESENTERIC VEIN THROMBOSIS AND CYTOMEGALOVIRUS: A DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMA. A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE. [PDF]
Superior mesenteric vein thrombosis (SMVT) is a rare condition, usually caused by infections, intra-abdominal inflammatory diseases, portal hypertension, hypercoagulable states, or contraceptive therapy.

Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Sustained Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Show Up-Regulation of KCNN3 and KCNJ2 Genes and CACNG8-Linked Left Ventricular Dysfunction. [PDF]
Disruptions in cardiac ion channels have shown to influence the impaired cardiac contraction in heart failure. We sought to determine the altered gene expression profile of this category in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients and relate the altered ...

Clostridium paraputrificum Bacteremia and Ectopic Ileal Varices in Underlying Chronic Portal and Superior Mesenteric Vein Thrombosis: Report of a Rare Case. [PDF]
Ischemic bowel disease is considered a high‐risk factor for infection from anaerobic bacteria, as the ischemic bowel is the perfect ground for their development. Herein, we present the case of an advance stage colon cancer patient with a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and bacteremia due to Clostridium paraputrificum, a rare anaerobic Gram ...

Clinical Manifestations of Superior Mesenteric Venous Thrombosis in the Era of Computed Tomography
Purpose: Thrombosis of the portal vein, known as pylephlebitis, is a rare and fatal complication caused by intraperitoneal infections. The disease progression of superior mesenteric venous thrombosis (SMVT) is not severe.

Functional and Molecular Aspects of Biotin Uptake via SMVT in Human Corneal Epithelial (HCEC) and Retinal Pigment Epithelial (D407) Cells [PDF]
Sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) is a vital transmembrane protein responsible for translocating biotin and other essential cofactors such as pantothenate and lipoate. Unlike primary cultures of corneal and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, immortalized cells can be subcultured many times, yet maintain their physiological ...
