OBJECTIVE First, we sought to estimate the magnitude of the cross-sectional associations between overweight/obesity and asthma stratified by gender and by self-reported hay fever and second we sought to assess both directions of causality in longitudinal analyses. METHODS We used cross-sectional and

Leptin is an important modulator of both inflammation and energy homeostasis, making it a key interface between the inflammatory response to pathogenic stimuli and the energy status of the host. In previous studies we demonstrated that sickness responses to systemic immune challenge, including

A case is presented of a female patient in whom after the operation of partial small intestinal bypass 45 + 15 + PV for extreme obesity, extreme emaciation developed caused by episodes of hectic fever of not completely explained aetiology, refractory to conservative treatment. Complete permanent

OBJECTIVE Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the insulin producing beta cells of the pancreatic islets are destroyed by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). It has been demonstrated that the injection of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) can prevent disease onset in non-obese diabetic

The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that a hyperthermia-hypotensive challenge via whole body hot water immersion would alter the perception of hyperthermia and physiological strain in obese type 2 diabetics (T2DM) compared to healthy non-obese (HC) individuals. Additionally, we

Acute and chronic hyperthermic treatments in diabetic animal models repeatedly improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that an acute 1h bout of hyperthermic treatment improves glucose, insulin, and leptin responses to an oral

The authors present three patients with fever of hectic profile following partial excluding jejuno-ileal anastomosis for extreme obesity. Cause of such a high fever was not detected in any patient. Despite the treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics and intensive treatment no decrease in body

During resection of a duodenal carcinoid tumor, a 28-year-old morbidly obese woman developed suspected malignant hyperthermia. This hypermetabolic state posed a diagnostic challenge given the similar intraoperative presentation of carcinoid crisis and malignant hyperthermia. The patient's weight

In earlier work, we reported that genetically obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats exhibited significantly greater anorexia than did lean (Fa/Fa) Zucker rats to intracerebroventricular infusion of interleukin (IL)-1beta. Here, we investigated the fever response of obese (fa/fa) and lean (Fa/Fa) Zucker rats to

OBJECTIVE In this study, we examined the efficacy of whole body hyperthermia (WBH) on obesity-induced insulin resistance in diabetic mice. METHODS Male db/db mice were treated with WBH 3 times per week for 12 weeks. The rectal temperature of mice reached 38.0 degrees C 5 min after heating, and was

The thermal responses of Fa/- and fa/fa Zucker rats to injections of sterile saline and to four injections of 20 micrograms/kg LPS at 3-day intervals were measured by means of radiotelemetry. In response to injections of saline, only the Fa/- rats developed a short stress-induced increase in

Disseminated tuberculosis first presenting as cutaneous lesion is uncommon and difficult to diagnose on account of its divers clinical forms. We present a 34-year-old obese woman with rash, finger swelling and fever. The patient was firstly manifested by fever and mass in palm and finger, gradually

Obesity is reaching dramatic proportions in humans and is associated with a higher risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cognitive alterations, and a higher mortality during infection and inflammation. The focus of the present review is on the influence of obesity on the presentation of

Obesity may increase the risk of infection, but the association between obesity and febrile urinary tract infection (fUTI) is controversial. Although the prevalence of infant and childhood obesity has been increasing worldwide, the results of previous investigations on the association with urinary
