Therapies that block the actions of interleukin-1 (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) have been proposed to be potentially beneficial in critically ill patients with sepsis. Clinical trials demonstrated no survival benefit when the actions of IL-1 were blocked. In contrast, inhibition
Infected pancreatic necrosis is a severe complication of acute pancreatitis; this complication is the major cause of death. We used the 'pipe-organ' -like retroperitoneal drainage, which is usually used in the management of open pelvic fracture, successfully in a patient with severe infected
Signs of abiotic toxicity often appear first at the margins of leaves and gradually spread toward the midrib. It has been suggested that the bundle sheath tissue surrounding the shoot vascular system acts as a solute transport-regulating barrier that prevents excessive quantities of toxic ions from
Water pipe smoking (WPS) is increasing in popularity and prevalence worldwide. Convincing data suggest that the toxicants in WPS are similar to that of cigarette smoke. However, the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms related to the early pulmonary events of WPS exposure are not understood. Here,
There is a global increase in the popularity of water-pipe tobacco smoking including in Europe and North America. Nevertheless, little is known about the male reproductive effects of water-pipe smoke (WPS), especially after long-term exposure. Here, we assessed effects of WPS exposure (30 min/day)
Water-pipe smoking (WPS) is a common practice in the Middle East and is now gaining popularity in Europe and the United States. However, there is a limited number of studies on the respiratory effects of WPS. More specifically, the underlying pulmonary pathophysiological mechanisms related to WPS
Water-pipe smoking (WPS) is prevalent in the East and elsewhere. WPS exposure is known to induce thrombosis and cardiovascular toxicity involving inflammation and oxidative stress. Here, we have investigated the effect of Gum Arabic (GA), a prebiotic with anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and
OBJECTIVE
It has been shown, both experimentally and clinically, that water-pipe smoke (WPS) exposure adversely affects the cardiovascular system (CVS) through the generation of oxidative stress and inflammation. Betaine, a naturally occurring compound in common foods, has antioxidant and
Water pipe smoking is a tobacco smoking method commonly used in Eastern countries and is gaining popularity in Europe and North America, in particular among adolescents and young adults. Several clinical and experimental studies have reported that exposure to water pipe smoke (WPS) induces lung
OBJECTIVE
Water-pipe smoking (WPS) has acquired worldwide popularity, and is disseminating particularly rapidly in Europe and North America. However, little is known about the short-term cardiovascular effects of WPS.
METHODS
Presently, we assessed the short-term cardiovascular effects of nose-only
METHODS
4 large-breed dogs were referred because of nonhealing skin wounds involving the elbow joint area of several weeks to months in duration. One additional large-breed dog was evaluated because of a draining abscess with overlying skin necrosis.
RESULTS
Previous attempts at closing each wound
BACKGROUND
Penile strangulations are rare and always need an individual emergency treatment. Functional impairment and loss of organ integrity are the most serious complications.
METHODS
A 43-year-old man came to our ambulance with a penile skin necrosis and a penile abscess. This was caused by a
The efficiency of intracavernous injection (ICI) of drugs for impotence is unfortunately counteracted by a real morbidity. The main danger lies in the persistence of this artificial erection. This pharmacologically induced prolonged erection (PIPE) appears like a real no-ischemic priapism. The risk
The oral cavities of tobacco smokers and users of smokeless tobacco products are exposed to high concentrations of nicotine. A limited number of animal studies have assessed the effect of nicotine on osseointegration. Results from experimental studies have reported a statistically significant
A case of necrotizing sialometaplasia of the lip in an 68-year-old pipe smoker is described. Necrotizing sialometaplasia is a self-healing non-neoplastic disease probably of ischaemic nature. Thirty-nine cases of sialometaplasia are described in the literature up to early 1979. These cases appeared
