BACKGROUND
Foreign body aspiration is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in elderly hospitalized patients. These are typically small items that patients have access to, including small coins.
METHODS
This is a case report of a 75-year-old man recently bedridden from a large hemispheric
The effects of lanthanum on the contraction induced by the protein kinase C activator, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) were studied in femoral artery rings from stroke-prone, spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). When exposed to a calcium-free
The mechanisms leading to stroke in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) are not well understood. We tested the hypothesis that the endothelial tight junctions of the blood-brain barrier are altered in SHRSP prior to stroke. We investigated tight junctions in 13-week-old SHRSP,
1. The effects of cyclopiazonic acid (CPA), a selective inhibitor of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase, on twitch contraction and on the resting state of tension and intracellular Ca2+ level ([Ca2+]i) of the oesophageal striated muscle of stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP)
Phosphate binders are used to reduce positive phosphate balance and to lower serum phosphate levels for people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with the aim to prevent progression of chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). This is an update of a review first published in
BACKGROUND
Calcium (Ca)-based phosphate (P) binders, compared to non-Ca-based P binders, contribute to vascular calcification, which is associated with cardiovascular events.
METHODS
The LANDMARK study is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel comparative study of lanthanum carbonate (LC)
Astragalus membranaceus is widely used to treat stroke and chronic debilitating diseases in China, but the mechanism has not been fully demonstrated to data. In the present study, we, using astragaloside IV, a purified extract from astragalus membranaceus, to a focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion
Cerebral edema is a critical complication after intravascular thrombolysis post-acute stroke. However, clinical options remained limited for treating cerebral edema after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. In the present study, astragaloside IV, a purified extract from astragalus
BACKGROUND
Guidelines preferentially recommend noncalcium phosphate binders in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We compare and rank phosphate-binder strategies for CKD.
METHODS
Network meta-analysis.
METHODS
Adults with CKD.
METHODS
Randomized trials with allocation to phosphate
