The term "mucositis" was introduced to describe inflammation of the oral mucosa induced by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation. At present, oral mucositis is considered to be the most serious non-hematological complication of cancer treatment.
Numerous predisposing factors
Articular cartilage, similarly to bone tissue, has a high sensitivity to physical stimuli and it has been shown that these are able to significantly modify the cartilage metabolism. There are several methods for applying a physical stimulus to articular cartilage: direct current, pulsed
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a progressive photoreceptor and retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) degeneration that begins as a night vision loss, resulting in narrowing of the visual field and legal blindness. RP is a heterogeneous genetic disorder, affecting 1/3000- 8000 people worldwide. RP is the
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is inflammation of the pancreas that can become a fatal disease or lead to severe complications . It is characterized clinically by abdominal pain and by increased pancreatic enzyme levels in the blood or urine. Gallstone migration and alcohol abuse are the two major risk
Heart failure (HF) affects millions of Americans, with approximately five-hundred thousand new cases diagnosed annually, with 40% or more of patients having a concomitant diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes. HF is not a diagnosis itself, but rather a constellation of signs and symptoms due to
Epidemiology Incidence of Supraventricular tachycardia is estimated to occur in 1 in 250 otherwise healthy children. About 50% of children with Supraventricular tachycardia present with the first episode in the first year of life.
After infancy there is another surge in incidence in early childhood
The study consists of four sub studies
- Troponin monitoring implementation - Sub study A

- Economic analysis - Sub study C
- Advanced cardiac imaging case-control study - Sub study D
Study A:To implement and evaluate a Troponin T
Airway hyperresponsiveness, the pivotal feature of asthma, can be assessed by bronchial provocation tests (BPTs), which may elicit bronchoconstriction via inhalation of stimuli. Histamine has been a direct stimulus for inducing bronchoconstriction via vasodilation, eosinophil chemotaxis and tissue
Ischemic preconditioning is thought to work by down-regulating pro-inflammatory gene expression and up-regulating anti-inflammatory gene expression in leukocytes. There is a local release of vasodilators, including adenosine and nitric oxide that are thought to have renal protective effects [16].
A large weight loss as a result of a longer period (>30 days) of starvation or semi-starvation will result in a metabolic adaptation to the decreased food intake. To prevent the degradation of muscle mass into gluco- and ketogenic amino acids to be used for energy production, a shift from
Background
The concept of venous retroperfusion in coronary artery disease Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries despite advances in medical, interventional, and surgical revascularization therapies. The different strategies aiming
With the wide use of contrast agents in clinical diagnosis and treatment, contrast induced nephropathy(CIN) accounts for 1/3 of hospital acquired acute renal failure,leading to prolonged hospital stay and increased medical costs.The mortality rate of patients with CIN is up to 35%,and about 30%
Background
Unstable angina (UA) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) are serious forms of acute coronary syndromes1. They require rapid clinical assessment, diagnosis and therapeutical intervention. A delay in the diagnosis and a delay in treatment may lead to serious complications
