AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese
INTRODUCTION & STATE-OF-ART Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive lethal disorders affecting 1 in 2.500 newborns among Caucasians. CF lung disease reflects a failure in the capacity of airway epithelia to normally hydrate their surface. Poor hydration of airways surfaces leads
Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is an acute deterioration of chronic liver diseases, which progresses rapidly, with a mortality rate of more than 50%. Liver transplantation is the only therapy that has been proven beneficial, but the number of liver donor is limited. MELD score is used to
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most common cancer in the world and the most common primary liver cancer. There are a variety of therapies for treatment of HCC; among them, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is one of the most commonly used treatment modalities. TACE induces ischemic
Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that affects children and young adults. Patients become progressively unable to coordinate movements and walking until severe disability ensues. Most patients develop dilated cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. The disease
Depending on the severity according to EUGOGO recommendations, patients were divided into two groups: the first group with active, moderate-to-severe GO (49 patients) and the second group with DON (19 patients). Moderate-to-severe GO was diagnosed according to EUGOGO recommendations. Diagnosis of

Primary objective:
The aim of the project is to study the pharmacokinetics of therapeutic doses of paracetamol with specific emphasis on the contributions of the metabolites (glucuronide, sulphate, cysteine and mercapturate), in patients with spinal muscular atrophy(SMA),
The primary aims of the pilot study are to streamline the infrastructure, machinery, and clinical experience with the balloon before the start of the randomized trial. The inclusion and exclusion criteria, and measurement points will be similar for the two studies.
The primary endpoints of the pilot
Thermodilution cardiac output was measured in triplicate. Hemodynamic parameters were calculated according to standard formulas.Oxygen delivery index (IDO2) was calculated as arterial oxygen content multiplied by CI. Systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) was calculated as the MAP minus right
1) Research question: Liver disease in childhood and adolescence can present as chronic liver disease (CLD) or acute liver failure (ALF), with different interim stages, and with the possibility of a presentation with acute on chronic liver failure as well.

Out of a family of six sodium glucose co-transporters, two have been extensively studied for therapeutic indications involving glucose reabsorption from the glomerular filtrate. Sodium glucose co-transporter-1 (SGLT-1), which is mainly found in both the renal tubule and enterocytes lining intestinal
1. Hypotheses:
1. Atorvastatin therapy directly results in improved deformation characteristics of hibernating myocardium due to its pleiotropic effects on endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerotic plaque stability, as well as stimulation of angiogenesis in ischemic zones of myocardium.
