Metabolic Syndrome in Cushing’s Syndrome [PDF]

Neuroendocrinology, 2010
Although the concept of metabolic syndrome (MetS) as a disease entity continues to be debated, it provides a means by which patients at risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease can be identified and categorized with routinely available criteria. Insulin resistance plays a central role in these abnormalities.

Rett Syndrome [PDF]

, 2009
Rett syndrome is a thief! It robs little girls of their projected life. It lulls their families into a false sense of security while their little girls develop normally for 6 to 18 months.

Ocular manifestations in Gorlin-Goltz syndrome [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Gorlin-Goltz syndrome, also known as nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder that is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner with complete penetrance and variable expressivity.

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...

Hughes syndrome antiphospholipid syndrome

Hamdan Medical Journal, 2008
An increasingly important link between aPL antibodies and a clinical syndrome is becoming recognized worldwide. This syndrome, known as the antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) or Hughes syndrome, is a prothrombotic disorder leading to both arterial and venous thrombosis and, in pregnancy, recurrent abortion and pregnancy loss (Figure 13.1).

B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

The Metabolic Cardiovascular Syndrome: Syndrome X, Reavenʼs Syndrome, Insulin Resistance Syndrome, Atherothrombogenic Syndrome

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1992
A short review of the metabolic cardiovascular risk syndrome (MCVS) is given. Traditionally, cardiovascular risk has been associated with three so-called "main" risk factors; hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and smoking. In addition, the association between diabetes and cardiovascular disease has been known for many years in clinical medicine ...

A novel KIF11 mutation in a Turkish patient with microcephaly, lymphedema, and chorioretinal dysplasia from a consanguineous family. [PDF]

, 2012
Microcephaly–lymphedema–chorioretinal dysplasia (MLCRD) syndrome is a rare syndrome that was first described in 1992. Characteristic craniofacial features include severe microcephaly, upslanting palpebral fissures, prominent ears, a broad nose, and a ...

Disruption of SETD3‐mediated histidine‐73 methylation by the BWCFF‐associated β‐actin G74S mutation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The β‐actin G74S mutation causes altered interaction of actin with SETD3, reducing histidine‐73 methylation efficiency and forming two distinct actin variants. The variable ratio of these variants across cell types and developmental stages contributes to tissue‐specific phenotypical changes. This imbalance may impair actin dynamics and mechanosensitive
