Red Blood Cell Shape and Deformability in Patients With COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
BackgroundAcute respiratory distress syndrome due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with high mortality. Several studies have reported that the microcirculation responds adequately to hypoxia in COVID-19 patients by increasing oxygen ...

Myeloperoxidase-Oxidized LDLs Enhance an Anti-Inflammatory M2 and Antioxidant Phenotype in Murine Macrophages

Mediators of Inflammation, 2016
Macrophages and oxidized LDLs play a key role in atherogenesis but their heterogeneity has been neglected up to now. Macrophages are prone to polarization and subsets of polarized macrophages have been described in atheromas.

Novel strategies for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis biofilm control: bacteriophage (vB_EfaS_ZC1), propolis, and their combined effects in an ex vivo endodontic model [PDF]

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials
Background Endodontic treatment failures are predominantly attributed to Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) infection, a Gram-positive coccus. E. faecalis forms biofilms, resist multiple antibiotics, and can withstand endodontic disinfection protocols ...

Myeloperoxidase-Dependent LDL Modifications in Bloodstream Are Mainly Predicted by Angiotensin II, Adiponectin, and Myeloperoxidase Activity: A Cross-Sectional Study in Men

Mediators of Inflammation, 2013
The present paradigm of atherogenesis proposes that low density lipoproteins (LDLs) are trapped in subendothelial space of the vascular wall where they are oxidized.

Low-Density Lipoprotein Modified by Myeloperoxidase in Inflammatory Pathways and Clinical Studies

Mediators of Inflammation, 2013
Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) has a key role in atherogenesis. Among the different models of oxidation that have been studied, the one using myeloperoxidase (MPO) is thought to be more physiopathologically relevant.

HIV-related immune activation attenuates polyfunctional IgG and memory B-cell responses to Tdap immunization during pregnancyResearch in context [PDF]

EBioMedicine
Summary: Background: Maternal pertussis vaccination with Tdap vaccine is recommended to protect newborns from severe postnatal infection. HIV-exposed uninfected (HEU) infants have a higher incidence of pertussis infection and may particularly benefit ...

Resonance tuning of rhythmic movements is disrupted at short time scales: A centrifuge study [PDF]

iScience
Summary: The human body exploits its neural mechanisms to optimize actions. Rhythmic movements are optimal when their frequency is close to the natural frequency of the system. In a pendulum, gravity modulates this spontaneous frequency.

Agreement between Arterial and Capillary pH, pCO₂, and Lactate in Patients in the Emergency Department. [PDF]

Emerg Med Int, 2021
Background. Blood gas analysis (BGA) is a frequent painful procedure in emergency departments. The primary objective of the study was a quantitative analysis to assess the mean difference and 95% confidence interval of the difference between capillary and arterial BGA for pH, pCO2, and lactate.

Priming of mesenchymal stem cells with a hydrosoluble form of curcumin allows keeping their mesenchymal properties for cell-based therapy development. [PDF]

J Cell Mol Med, 2021
Abstract Mesenchymal stem cells are increasingly studied for their use as drug‐carrier in addition to their intrinsic potential for regenerative medicine. They could be used to transport molecules with a poor bioavailability such as curcumin in order to improve their clinical usage.
