Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) are a group of inherited, metabolic diseases caused by a deficiency of lysosomal enzymes that degrade glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Loss of their activity results in cellular accumulation of GAGs fragments leading to progressive multi-system manifestations (central nervous
The study addresses the problem that postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes have a higher incidence of bone breaks despite their often normal bone mineral density (BMD).
The investigators pursued two hypotheses, that:
1. 40-minute bout of downhill exercise will increase the CICP/CTX osteogenic
Significance: Severe injury is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, affecting approximately 2.8 million individuals and accounting for over 200,000 deaths annually across the United States. Large cohort studies have demonstrated that approximately 64% of trauma-related deaths are due
Physicians in charge of HIV-infected patients are increasingly being faced to previously unrecognized comorbid conditions such as atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events, loss of renal function, osteopenia/osteoporosis and bone fractures or non-AIDS-defining cancers (1-4).
The incidence of these
Hepatitis C is a major health problem for Scotland with greater than 1% of the population infected; the Scottish Government has recognised this and mounted the Hepatitis C action plan, recognised as the world leading public health response to the epidemic. The key aim of this is to expand treatment
The introduction of combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) dramatically improved the prognosis of HIV infection [1]; nowadays, virological suppression (viral load < 50 copies/mL) can be obtained in the vast majority of patients receiving cART. Nevertheless, antiretroviral drugs have short- and
The prevalence of osteoporosis in HIV-infected patients could be more than three times greater compared with HIV-uninfected subjects, according to the results of a meta-analytical review of cross-sectional published studies. The analysis includes data from 884 HIV-infected patients and 654
Despite advances in HIV care associated with HAART, many patients on HAART regimens develop physical and metabolic problems, including changes in body fat distribution (lipodystrophy), osteopenia and osteoporosis, dyslipidemia, and hyperlactatemia. Early studies suggest that protease inhibitors
Patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) regimens develop potentially deleterious metabolic effects, including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, osteopenia and osteoporosis, and hyperlactatemia. Changes in body fat distribution and bone metabolism are also documented. There is
The benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in HIV-negative postmenopausal women include the abatement of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, insomnia, mood changes, vaginal dryness, urogenital and skin changes, and memory loss. HRT may also decrease risk for primary cardiovascular
