The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV-2) pandemic, also denominated Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), is currently challenging health systems in Brazil and worldwide. The mortality rate of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Brazil seems to be close to twice that of countries
This study is a pilot randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of melatonin in outpatient adult patients suspected to be afflicted with COVID-19. Participants will be enrolled as outpatients within 72 hrs of onset of COVID-19 symptoms. The study
Healthcare workers are at an increased risk of acquiring COVID-19 due to an increased exposure to the virus and global personal protective equipment shortages. Preventing the infection of healthcare workers is critical the current epidemic situation when healthcare systems are under extreme
Postoperative delirium (POD) is one of the most frequent complications after surgery in elderly patients, affecting between 20 and 40% of patients older than 60 after major surgery. This complication has huge consequences for the patients, families and society: increase of morbidity and mortality,
The World Health Organization (W.H.O). defines oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) as "A histologically proven lesion that is associated with a significantly increased risk of malignant transformation."Oral leukoplakia is the most commonly occurring oral potentially malignant disorder.
Study design: Prospective population-based study in which cervical cancer patients and their partners are included shortly after diagnosis and followed until 10 years after diagnosis. Patients from treatment centres in the Netherlands and their partners will be asked to complete questionnaires after
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxy-tryptamine) is an indoleamine synthesized and secreted by the pineal gland and other organs, such as the retina, bone marrow, and intestines in a circadian pattern. Extrapineal sites contribute poorly, or only upon specific stimuli to circulating melatonin. Melatonin
Timing of food intake affects a variety of pathophysiological systems. The Western diet, which is high in salt, also contributes to excess morbidity and mortality related to obesity and hypertension. Nocturnal hypertension frequently occurs in obesity and is recognized as an important consequence of
Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a neurohormone that is endogenously produced and secreted by the pineal gland in the brain following a circadian rhythm, with a plasma concentration highest at night and lowest during the day.
The normal physiological roles of melatonin in the human body
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is prevalent in coronary artery disease (CHD), and the extent of CAC predicts cardiovascular risk. The causes of CAC include dysregulated matrix metabolism, epitaxial mineral deposition, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Melatonin is the main
CAC is prevalent in coronary artery disease (CHD), and the extent of CAC predicts cardiovascular risk. The causes of CAC include dysregulated matrix metabolism, epitaxial mineral deposition, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis. Melatonin is the main indoleamine produced by the pineal
About 552.000 infants are born in Italy each year, 1% of them with gestational age under 30 weeks. Survival rates are improved, but long-term disabilities are still common. Major destructive focal lesions became less common, the most predominant lesion at present is diffuse white matter (WM damage).
