The hypothesis of the proposed intervention is that GM-CSF has profound effects on antiviral immunity, can provide the stimulus to restore immune homeostasis in the lung with acute lung injury post COVID-19, and can promote lung repair mechanisms, which would lead to an improvement in lung
Introduction and Background According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, stroke is the 5th leading cause of mortality in the US, and a leading cause of significant long-term disability where almost 50% of stroke survivors, age 65 and above, suffer from disabling decrease in mobility.
The growing presence on the North American as well as European market of food products enriched with fish oil as a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) omega-3 in the diet requires evaluation and comment. Research exploring health influence of the consumption of fish oil started in 1990
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by the excessive accumulation of triglycerides in the liver and is often associated, in the absence of significant alcohol consumption, to insulin resistance and to the metabolic syndrome of which it shares the most frequent clinical
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
Insulin resistance and the accompanying hyperinsulinemia also lead to the development of multiple metabolic abnormalities which are responsible, at least in part, for the excessive risk of coronary heart disease in T2DM , non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and impaired diastolic left ventricular
Background Expanding time window using the emerging technologies for mechanical thrombectomy can improve chances of achieving successful thrombectomy and improve clinical outcome in patients that would have only received conservative treatment. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness
Research design and methods Subjects In this study, we shall recruit 200 patients on maintenance hemodialysis. In addition, 50 age- and sex-matched subjects act as controls. The HD patients have been on stable dialysis for at least 3 months HD patients are being treated three times weekly with
Background The epidemics of obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis are increasing worldwide. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), for a long time unnoted in the metabolic field, is becoming recognized as a condition possibly involved in the pathogenesis of these

AGHD is widely recognized as a specific clinical entity and recombinant human growth hormone (r-hGH) therapy has become a standard practice since 90s thanks to its beneficial effects on body composition, muscle strength, bone mass, cardiovascular risk and patients' exercise capacity and QoL. All the
Vitamin D receptor gene mutations have been associated with increased incidence of arterial hypertension. While, hyperlipidemia and lipoprotein oxidation in bone is leading to osteoporosis by inhibiting osteoblastic differentiation It has been reported that vitamin D supplementation has shown
After consumption of a meal, pancreatic secretions of various digestive enzymes results in the breakdown of carbohydrates into monosaccharides including glucose. These sugars are subsequently absorbed through the intestinal lumen, resulting in an increased plasma glucose concentration. In response
Malnutrition is characterized by a negative energy balance due to a deep skeletal muscular loss, which is itself secondary to the reduction of intake and metabolic abnormalities aggravating the loss of weight. Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass, the consequences of which are a decrease
