Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is one of the essential cofactors required for the proper function of living cells, and depletion in NAD has been correlated to aging individuals as NAD is associated with oxidative stress and energy production. Per the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), it
Background and preliminary data:
Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by a clonal expansion of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM) with a continuous spread of tumour cells in and out of BM. A continuous interaction between BM stromal cells (BMSCs) and MM cells supports proliferation,
Childhood obesity is global health problem, due to the constant increase in its incidence and prevalence. Having this disease helps increase the costs of care for Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases. The increase in its prevalence since 1975 from 1% to 6% (girls) and 8% (boys) in 2016 between the
Background: Risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is significantly elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Arterial dysfunction is an important nontraditional CV risk factor gaining increased recognition in the field of nephrology. While many changes likely contribute to the
Rationale: Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) is an autosomal recessively inherited neurodegenerative disorder, with a high cancer risk, that also affects the immune and respiratory system. Therapy for A-T is restricted to symptomatic treatment including rehabilitation care, combined with infection
We have previously reported that inherited mutations of TP53, which causes the premature cancer disorder Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), can promote mitochondrial function both in patients and mouse models. In the course of our follow up studies, we encountered a LFS patient with a long-standing history
Peripheral neuropathies are a dose-limiting, disabling, and debilitating side effect of virtually every known class of chemotherapeutic agent, and are referred to as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathies (CIPN) (Seretny et al., 2014). The incidence and severity of CIPN increase as the
The oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive intermediates or to repair the resulting damage.
Cells continuously produce free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) as
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) is the most frequent cancer in children. Each year approximately 220 children are diagnosed with ALL within the Nordic and Baltic countries.
The survival rate has improved significantly during the last decades, but the treatment still fails to cure approximately
A pathophysiological role for inflammation in schizophrenia has been one of the more enduring findings in the field. Recently, increased understanding of complex interactions between inflammation and the brain in other chronic diseases has better informed this relationship in schizophrenia. Several
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) is an inherited disorder resulting from a failure to produce nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, necessary for protection against a number of infectious organisms. Patients are subject to recurrent infections and inflammatory
The oXiris® set connection to CPB
- The PrismafleX eXeed™ II (Baxter) system control unit will be used to deliver CRRT and thus connected to the CPB circuit through the oXiris® set lines.
- Priming. For oXiris® set priming use 2 L of normal saline according to the software instructions.

Introduction Lung is a particularly important organ because of its interface with the environment. The environmental pollutants and endogenous reactive oxygen metabolites from inflammatory cells exert substantial pathological effects on the lung cells [1]. Oxidative stress (OS) is a major factor
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare the rates of achieving prostate-specific antigen (PSA) remission at month 7 with LHRH analogue therapy and enzalutamide (Arm A) with that achieved with LHRH analogue and bicalutamide (Arm B) in metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I.
The prognosis and survival rate of breast cancer varies depending on the extent of the disease, performance status of patients and the type of tumour including the status of oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Expression of ER and
