Research Background and Rationale At the end of December 2019, pneumonia of unknown origin was detected in the hospitals of Wuhan city, China, and reported to the WHO country office for the first time [1-3]. After a few days, the Chinese government has confirmed the human-to-human transmission of
Coronavirus-induced disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection is a highly contagious disease with a high and unpredictable morbidity and mortality, for which there is currently no specific treatment. Progression from a mild fatigue, fever and cough, to severe respiratory failure
INCB7839 is an inhibitor of the ADAM (A Disintegrin and Metalloprotease) 10 and 17 proteases. Neuronal activity regulates glioma growth through neuroligin-3 (NLGN3). ADAM 10 is the protease responsible for NLGN3 release into the tumor microenvironment and represents a promising therapeutic
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a lymphoid neoplasm characterized by the presence of CD30-positive Hodgkin Reed-Sternberg cells in a background of inflammatory cells. The majority of patients with HL have a good outcome with first-line chemotherapy such as ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common multifactorial syndrome in hospitalized patients. Patients in critical care units have the highest risk of developing AKI, which is related to an increase in morbidity and doubles in-hospital mortality (10.2% vs. 25.6%) and at 90 days (16.6% vs. 33.7%).

Clinical examination Each subject underwent a basic medical check-up with anthropometric examination (height (m), weight (kg), BMI (kg/m2), waist circumference (cm), waist-hip ratio). Body composition was measured using bioimpedance
Hepatitis C Virus infection is one of the main causes of chronic liver disease worldwide with current estimates of approximately 130 - 210 million individuals (according to 3% of the world population) chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus. However, hepatitis C virus infections are among
Extremely low levels of HIV reservoirs are achievable in some chronically-infected patients durably controlled with cART. Despite the multiplicity and heterogeneity of factors governing the persistence of HIV reservoirs, such low levels of HIV reservoirs seem necessary, though probably not
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE About 50% of patients with heart failure have a normal ejection fraction (HFNEF). Although traditionally considered a more benign disorder than the related heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), the mortality figures for patients with HFNEF and HFREF are now
This group of multidisciplinary investigators has discovered increased levels of immune activation among HIV-1-uninfected active injection drug users (IDUs) when compared to non-IDU controls . The vast majority (80%) are also infected with HCV.
Active injectors have high levels of immune activation
There is a complex pathobiology behind OM; chemo and radiotherapy affects the mucosa and submucosa causing DNA-strand brakes and generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This initiates a cascade of events, among others activation of transcription factors, up-regulation of pro-inflammatory
Disease background:
MM is a plasma cell tumor. It accounted for an estimated 20,180 new cases of cancer and 11,170 deaths in the United States in 2010. With a prevalence of 23 per 100,000 people, MM is an orphan disease (prevalence <5:10,000). The median age at diagnosis is 60-65 years. Although MM
Four million Americans have chronic hepatitis C (HCV), and 30% of HIV+ patients are co-infected with HCV. Until May 2011, the standard treatment for HCV was the combination of alpha interferon (injected weekly) and ribavirin (daily pills) (IFN/RBV) for 48 weeks in order to achieve sustained
Chronic infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which affects 1-2% of adults in the United States, is a major risk factor for liver failure due to cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma (Davis 2010). Epidemiological information suggests that the frequency of these HCV-related sequelae is
Surgical injury to tissue causes a variety of profound physiologic reactions which are essential for the restoration of an organisms' homeostasis. The inflammatory response involves a surge of stress hormones (i.e. ACTH, cortisol, catecholamines), activation of the complement system, migration of
