Aluminum phosphide poisoning is a major problem, accounting for many Emergency Unit visits and hospitalization, the incidence of aluminum phosphide poisoning increasing in the last few years. ALP is used as pesticides for many years to protect grains in stores and during its transportation. The

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the proportion of subjects with persistent or recurrent high grade endometrioid or serous ovarian carcinoma who demonstrate a downregulation of monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) in the ovarian stroma in response to exposure to topotecan (topotecan hydrochloride)

NO has been shown to associate with erythrocytes in the form of SNO-Hb and can deliver vasomotor changes as erythrocytes pass through a physiologic O2 gradient. The aim of this study is to transiently deplete circulating SNO-Hb levels to prove that these levels are directly linked with the normal

Elective liver resection is performed mainly for benign and malignant liver tumors. The malignant tumors may arise primarily within the liver (hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma) or represent metastases from malignancies of other organs. During hepatic resection, the risk of severe

Acute renal failure induced by radiographic contrast agents is a known complication of coronary angiography. It has been demonstrated that following contrast media application the renal outer medullar blood flow is reduced, resulting in medullar ischemia. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) together with well

This study will determine if modulating reduction/oxidation (redox) status through a temporary increase in the blood ratio of reduced-to-oxidized glutathione (i.e., GSH/GSSG) will increase carotid body chemosensitivity and thus increase ventilation and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) during 32

Background Cardiovascular disease is the commonest cause of morbidity and mortality in chronic dialysis patients [1]. Sleep studies in ESRD patients have identified increased prevalence of sleep apnea (SA), both obstructive (OSA) and central (CSA) in origin [2]. The reported prevalence of SA in
