Acute viral myocarditis is an uncommon inflammatory disease of the myocardium. Little is known about the long-term cardiovascular risk for individuals who have recovered from the acute illness. We compared intermediate vascular phenotypes relating to arterial structure (aortic and carotid
Acute myocarditis was produced by injection of 4 mg/kg Indian red scorpion (Buthus tamulus) venom in dogs. Several rhythm changes, conduction defects, infarction-like pattern and many other ECG abnormalities; hyperglycemia, reduced insulin secretion, rise in free fatty acids along with fall in
Acute myocarditis is an unpredictable heart disease, which is caused by inflammation-associated cell death. Although viral infection and drug exposure are known to induce acute myocarditis, the molecular basis for its development remains undefined. Using proteomics and molecular analyses in
UNASSIGNED
Here, the study aims to explore the effect of PM2.5 exposure on atherosclerosis in rats.
UNASSIGNED
32 Wistar rats were selected in our study. An atherosclerosis model was established. All rats were evenly divided into four groups, including normal control group (NC), model control group
Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc) is an autoimmune, connective tissue disorder that is characterized by impaired vascular function, increased oxidative stress, inflammation of internal organs, and impaired angiogenesis. Tight skin mice (Tsk(-/+)) have a defect in fibrillin-1, resulting in
Human parvovirus B19 (HPV-B19) causes hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). Here we describe a 35-year-old female with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) who developed HLH due to HPV-B19 infection. Upon admission, she had high fever and diarrhea. Laboratory findings included severe pancytopenia and
Clozapine is an atypical antipsychotic agent indicated in the treatment of medication-resistant schizophrenia. It is often reserved as a last line of treatment owing to the potential for serious and potentially life-threatening side effects, the most serious being agranulocytosis requiring close
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to investigate the role of adiponectin in acute rheumatic fever by evaluating correlations with cytokines and acute-phase reactants.
METHODS
Patients were divided into three groups by clinical findings. Group 1 included 8 patients with only chorea, Group 2 included 13 patients
BACKGROUND
Beta-thalassaemic patients who usually have a combination of; chronic hemolytic anemia, iron storage disease, myocarditis, and premature death especially due to heart failure may also have increased oxidation of lipids and abnormal lipoprotein concentrations.
OBJECTIVE
To determine plasma
The Rhizomucor miehei lipase enzyme expressed in Aspergillus oryzae, is used in the production of specialty fats, the production of existing fats from new raw materials, or new fats with improved nutritional or functional qualities. It is produced by A. oryzae containing the structural gene for the
OBJECTIVE
(18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is a useful tool for evaluating inflammation. Because, myocardial-FDG uptake occurs with diverse physiology, it should be suppressed during evaluation of myocardial inflammation by FDG-PET/CT. Diets
Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a rarely reported complication of Kawasaki disease (KD). It must be sought during KD with unusual clinical signs, such as enlargement of the liver or spleen, cytopenia (including thrombocytopenia), and elevated serum triglycerides. Here, we report four cases
To assess the cardiological status of patients with long-term lupus nephritis we evaluated 30 patients (mean age 43 +/- 11 years) with lupus nephritis lasting from at least 10 years (mean 15 +/- 5 years). At the time of cardiological evaluation the mean plasma creatinine was 132.6 +/- 11.1 mumol/l
OBJECTIVE
To determine abnormalities of cholesterol metabolism in children with acute rheumatic fever (ARF).
METHODS
Cross-sectional study and prospective study.
METHODS
Pediatric ward of the Khon Kaen (Thailand) University Hospital.
METHODS
Forty-six confirmed patients with ARF (during the acute
The effects of various high-fat diets (20% w/w) containing commercially available fats and oils (butter, corn oil, corn oil margarine, canola oil, canola oil margarine, soybean oil, soybean oil margarine, sunflower oil, sunflower oil margarine) on myocardial contractility and morphology and on
