Novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 was first identified during the outbreak in Wuhan, China in December 2019 with the now resulting pandemic. Aggressive supportive care is the mainstay of treatment currently and rescue with lung protective mechanical ventilation is essential for survival in patients with
Introduction Background and objectives. In early 2020 novel Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) begun to spread from Asia to Europe and beyond forcing WHO to declare global pandemic. Infected patients shed the virus for a median of 20 days. Up to 10% of COVID-19 infected patients develop a severe form of
Participants This study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the National Cheng Kung University Hospital (IRB: B-BR-107-046-T). This single center study was performed between May 2018 and April 2019. All the 60 patients who were treated with a PFNA system (Depuy Synthes®,
Sleep apnea and coronary artery disease are prevalent and relevant diseases due to their morbidity and mortality. The mechanism by which sleep apnea leads to coronary artery disease remains unclear. It is known that intermittent hypoxia, the main characteristic of sleep apnea, leads to inflammation
Study Population and Clinical Examination
A total of 40 individuals were recruited for the present study. Inclusion criteria included: 1) aged 25 to 45 years 2) non-smokers with no history of smoking 3) having at least 20 natural teeth. Exclusion criteria were as follows: 1) having any diagnosed
In a prospective, randomized clinical trial of de novo mandibular fracture patients requiring intraoral surgical repair with plating, the investigators will:
1. Compare the effects of supplemental vitamin C to placebo on soft tissue wound healing, measured by a) biomarkers of soft tissue repair
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND:
The incidence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Denmark is approximately 4,000 per year, and the mortality remains approximately 90%. Furthermore, in the approximately 30% of patients who are resuscitated and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU), the
Autophagy is a highly conserved lysosome-mediated catabolic process. It can remove unwanted cytoplasmic components, such as long-lived and/or misfolded proteins, damaged organelles, playing an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and cell survival in stress conditions, such as nutrient
Pomegranate has anti-oxidative capacity. It might reduce symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, Drug-induced hepatitis, and might prevent deterioration of cardiovascular diseases and cancer progression. But, the beneficial effects of pomegranate on hearing impairment was still unclear.
This study aimed to
Auto-immune diseases are characterized by an inappropriate inflammatory response against tissues in the body. These diseases, of which rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most well-known, represent a major health care burden. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β are central in the
Surgical trauma causes release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and other alarmines (e.g. HMGB-1) targeting receptors on local cells of the innate immune system, such as macrophages. This cellular response to trauma is followed by a rapid release of an array of inflammatory mediators
Surgical trauma causes release of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and other alarmines (e.g. high mobility group box (HMGB-1)) targeting receptors on local cells of the innate immune system, such as macrophages. This cellular response to trauma is followed by a rapid release of an array
Rapid estrogen level decline after menopause is associated with systemic bone loss in women leading to osteopenia/osteoporosis. Estrogen therapy (ET) improves bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women. Currently, ET has been associated with statistically significant increased risk of breast
Background: Hemophilic joint disease secondary to recurrent hemarthroses is one of the most disabling and costly complications of hemophilia. Prior to widespread use of prophylactic factor concentrates, children in the United States with severe hemophilia A and B (X-linked recessive disorders with
The main objective of the study is to compare the increase in plasma adrenaline levels during the two different breathing techniques in a group of healthy volunteers trained by Hof. Also, the investigators investigate whether it is necessary to be trained by Hof and if a relatively short instruction
