Significant Reduction of Murine Renal Ischemia-Reperfusion Cell Death Using the Immediate-Acting PrC-210 Reactive Oxygen Species ScavengerBackground. Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury remains a significant problem for all solid organ transplants; thus, an important unmet need in transplantation is the prevention of IR injury. PrC-210 has demonstrated superior prevention of reactive oxygen species damage in several preclinical studies as a free radical scavenger. Here, we describe its profound efficacy...

Intestinal lymphatic vessels and their role in chylomicron absorption and lipid homeostasisPurpose of review In this review, we describe novel findings related to intestinal lipid transport in lymphatic vessels. Recent findings Studies have shown that chylomicron entry to lacteals and lymph movement in intestinal lymphatic capillaries is an active process. Regulators of this intestinal chylomicron transport include among others the autonomous nervous system, transcription factors like PLAGL2, and...

Percutaneous coronary interventions for stable ischemic heart disease in ItalyAims Although the benefits of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) in patients with stable chronic ischemic heart disease (SIHD) are controversial, a large number of PCIs are currently performed in SIHD patients, frequently after coronary angiography (ad-hoc procedures), without the use of fractional flow reserve (FFR) to identify patients most likely to benefit from PCI. Methods Assessment of regional variations...

Arterial stiffness in chronic kidney disease: a modifiable cardiovascular risk factor?Purpose of review There is an inverse, graded relationship between worsening chronic kidney disease (CKD) and increasing cardiovascular risk independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Increasing arterial stiffness is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular outcomes in CKD. Developing novel therapeutic strategies to reverse this process is an attractive concept. This review presents the results of a literature...
A Swim-Specific Shoulder Strength and Conditioning Program for Front Crawl SwimmersALTHOUGH SWIMMING IS A WHOLE-BODY ACTIVITY, SHOULDER PROBLEMS CAN BE QUITE COMMON IN COMPETITIVE SWIMMERS. THE PROPULSION FOR SWIMMING COMES LARGELY FROM THE UPPER BODY BUT THE LOWER BODY AND TRUNK PLAY AN IMPORTANT SUPPORTING ROLE. THE SWIMMING SHOULDER KINETIC CHAIN (SSKC) DESCRIBES THE GENERATION OF SWIMMING PROPULSION USING THE WHOLE BODY. EFFECTIVE SWIMMERS WILL USE THE SSKC IN THEIR STROKE, SO EFFECTIVE STRENGTH...
Not All Oxygrams Are Mirror Image of Capnograms: A Case ReportGenerally the oxygram and the capnogram are mirror images of each other. We report a situation where a leak in the sample line produced a typical tails-up capnogram that was not accompanied by a mirror image oxygram. Air entrainment through the breach led to dilution of the gases on their way to the analyzer. The result was an oxygram resembling a series of mountain peaks.Anesthetic Management in an Adult Patient With Costello Syndrome:...

Treatment and Prognosis of High- and Low-Risk Kaeding Grade II Bone Stress InjuriesBone stress injuries (BSI) may be classified as high- or low-risk based on the anatomic location of injury and by grade based on severity. Kaeding grade II (K-GII) BSI are characterized by symptomatic marrow or periosteal edema without a fracture line. This retrospective cohort study aims to compare outcomes between high- and low-risk K-GII BSI. We hypothesize that patients with high- and low-risk K-GII BSI experience...
Obliteration of the pulp canal caused by mandibular distraction: a case reportPublication date: Available online 30 July 2019Source: British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryAuthor(s): Olivia Johnson King, Sonia Afzal, Valmiki SharmaAbstractWe present a 16-year-old boy with a history of ankylosis of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) who had been treated with a costochondral graft and mandibular distraction. The distraction seems to have caused pulp canal obliteration of the lower right second...
24-h urine osmolality should be used in combination with other urine parameters in urolithiasis patientsOsmotic diuresis in chronic kidney disease: its significance and clinical utilityAbstractIntroductionThe kidneys contribute to maintain plasma osmolality in normal range by achieving the adequate daily osmolar urine excretion (DOUE). An equation has been described for estimating the expected daily urine volume necessary to excrete the osmolar load required to keep serum osmolality in normal range....
Regulatory barriers to xenotransplantationPurpose of review There is a grave discordance between supply and demand for patients with failing organs largely due to an insufficient donor pool for transplantation. Xenotransplantation has been proposed as a solution to bridge this gap. Recent findings Recent success over the last decade in nonhuman primate models, due to emerging gene-editing technologies combined with novel immunosuppression regimens, has produced promising results in pancreatic islet...

Laparoscopic Management of Post-Cesarean Section Uterocutaneous FistulaAbstractA uterocutaneous fistula is a rare clinical presentation that occurs following cesarean section or any other pelvic surgery. We describe a case of uterocutaneous fistula with successful surgical management. A 25-year woman was referred to our hospital with complaints of cyclical bleeding from lower segment cesarean section scar (LSCS scar). It was diagnosed as uterocutaneous fistula on ultrasonography and computed tomography....
Molecular progression of SHH-activated medulloblastomasMedulloblastoma (MB) comprises four main molecular MB subgroups (WNT, SHH, Group 3 and Group 4) with divergent biology, outcomes and subgroup-specific differences in relapses [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Metastatic recurrences are most common in Group 3 and 4 MB, where metastases from a single patient are genetically similar to each other, but highly divergent from the corresponding primary tumor [2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Local recurrences in the tumor bed are...
