Background and significance:
Currently, more that 5.3 million Americans (or 2% of the population) live with disabilities resulting from TBI. Among OEF/OIF Veterans, TBI incidence estimates as high as 23% have been reported, with mild TBI (mTBI) being the most common.1 This proposal addresses the
Objective: The fact that fibromyalgia and migraine are more common in women of reproductive age and their incidence are higher than other populations suggests that these three diseases may have a common genetic basis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether there is a relationship between ESR-1
The study will be conducted on total group of 100 participants, from which 75 will be the patients with PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension), HF-REF (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction) or IHD (ischemic heart disease).
In all participants medical anamnesis, physical examination,
INTRODUCTION Historically, surgery was seen as the last resort to preserve life. Even today, the popular acceptance of surgery is premised upon it being either as the only treatment option or as the last option after all nonsurgical treatments have been unsuccessful. This is attributable to the
Specific Aim 1: To investigate the physiological significance of lifestyle intervention in preparation for pregnancy (LIPP) on maternal and neonatal metabolism and adiposity.
Introduction/Rationale: Our preliminary data demonstrate that supervised lifestyle intervention leads to significant weight
Caffeine is routinely administered to extremely preterm neonates as a respiratory stimulant to prevent or treat apnea of prematurity, or prolonged pauses in breathing in preterm babies. Caffeine, a methylxanthine, is an adenosine receptor antagonist that has the effects of relaxing smooth muscle in

Purpose:
The written history of vinegar use in China was more than 5,000 years,and it was used as health care products since ancient times. In addition of the main component of acetic acid, it also contains other acids, esters, polyphenols and other active substances.Previous studies have reported
The two most important causes of iron overload disease in humans are the iron-loading disorder hereditary hemochromatosis (HC), and transfusional siderosis in patients with chronic hematological diseases like myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), thalassemia, and leukemia.
Hemochromatosis. In HC the
Chronic nonmalignant pain is a widespread issue affecting 15-30% of the population. Many patients with chronic pain are responsive to first-line combination of physical modalities and non-opioid analgesics. Up to 20% of these patients, however, require opioid therapy for adequate pain relief. The
Anaerobic glycolysis quickly provides adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for muscular contraction during high intensity, short duration exercise. The fast rate of glycolysis during anaerobic exercise results in pyruvate formation exceeding pyruvate oxidation resulting in a build up of lactic acid. Lactic
5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) is a dietary supplement and a naturally occurring amino acid. It is a natural delta amino acid; as a non-alpha amino acid, it is not a component of proteins. 5-ALA is synthesized in the mitochondria, and is the first compound in the prophyrin synthesis pathway, the
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the effect of chemotherapy in patients with node positive breast cancer who do not have high recurrence scores (RS) by Oncotype DX.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare overall survival (OS), distant disease-free survival (DDFS) and local disease-free interval
Fatigue is highly prevalent and associated with future mortality in older individuals. Even in non-disabled older persons, fatigue may be the primary reason for activity limitation. However, understanding the etiology of fatigue in this population has been hampered by differing or imprecise
