Currently, the U.S. National Library of Medicine (April 2nd) reports 282 studies registered investigating the COVID-19 infection. According to the present knowledge the COVID-19, also known as novel type Coronavirus or SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome-Coronavirus-2), belongs to a large
The only way to improve the diagnosis and treatment of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is to better understand the mechanisms underlying its pathophysiology. Central nervous system dysfunctions play a major role in ME/CFS and help explaining patients' symptoms, such as
Design: This is a single center, cross-sectional study of patients with multiple sclerosis, who will each, undergo both, [C-11]MRB-PET (norepinephrine transporter binding) and [F-18]PBR06-PET (microglial activation), in addition to 7 Tesla brain MRIs. Patients will also undergo cross-sectional
Temperature regulation and decision-making are vital aspects of human survival where relatively small deviations in whole-body heat balance lead to decrements in physical performance and cognitive function. Prolonged exposure to cold stress combined with inadequate clothing and/or insufficient heat
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is one of the most common and disabling complications of cancer chemotherapy. CIPN is a major cause of morbidity and reduced quality of life among cancer survivors due to pain, gait instability, and fall related injury. Up to 60% of patients
Background: Risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is significantly elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Arterial dysfunction is an important nontraditional CV risk factor gaining increased recognition in the field of nephrology. While many changes likely contribute to the
Patients with post-stroke depression (PSD) have more dysfunction, poorer recovery outcomes, and higher morbidity and mortality in the first year after stroke onset than those patients without stroke. Some therapeutic methods have shown to be effective for PSD, including antidepressants, non-drug
The hypothesis of our study is that hemodynamic, ventilatory and oxygen exchange variables such biventricular filling pressures and systemic oxygen extraction can be improved by cholinergic stimulation in patients with ME/CFS.
The objective of this study is to examine the exercise response to
Hypoglycemia elicits a multifaceted hormonal response that helps restore glycemic levels to normal. As blood glucose levels start to fall, insulin secretion ceases. At the top of this hierarchy of counterregulatory responses are glucagon and epinephrine which are the two principal hormones that act
Despite the introduction of new antidepressants, major depressive disorder (MDD) remains challenging to treat. Antidepressant effectiveness trials conducted suggest depression remission rates of only 15%-35%. Therefore, new antidepressants with mechanisms that move beyond norepinephrine and
AIM1: The first aim of the study will be to determine the efficacy of chemical renal denervation in altering renal sympathetic nerve activity. This objective will be assessed by change in urinary catecholamines and sympathetic activity in the kidney 8 weeks post renal denervation (+/- 7 days).
Parkinsonism, is a group of symptoms seen in several diseases, including Parkinson's Disease. In Parkinsonism, a patient may become stiff, have smaller and slower movements, develop a tremor (shaking of the arms or legs), have decreased facial expression, and a softer voice.
Fatigue is a common
Interruption of sympathetic cardiovascular autonomic regulation following spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with significantly reduced plasma norepinephrine (NE) levels, hypotension and orthostatic hypotension (OH), particularly in individuals with high cord lesions. Although the incidence of
The female patients with fibromyalgia under medical treatment say that body mass index and eating behaviour changes,for this reason, this relationship will be investigated in this study.
Demographic data (sex, age, education level, occupation) of patients with fibromyalgia diagnosis will be
