Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a heterogeneous and fatal disease of the lung vasculature, where metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction may drive pathogenesis. Similar to the Warburg effect in cancer, a shift from mitochondrial oxidation to glycolysis occurs in diseased pulmonary vessels and the
It is now widely accepted that high-throughput data sources will shed essential understanding on the inner workings of cellular and organism function. One key challenge is to distill the results of such experiments into an interpretable computational form that will be the basis of a predictive
A histiocytic proliferative disorder was identified in six closely related Bernese mountain dogs. Clinical signs included anorexia, weight loss, stertorous respiration, and conjunctivitis with marked chemosis. Multiple cutaneous nodules were distributed over the entire body but were especially
Changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) were measured using the radioactive xenon technique and were related to the development of acute mountain sickness (AMS). In 12 subjects, ascending from 150 to 3,475 m, CBF was 24% increased at 24 h [45.1 to 55.9 initial slope index (ISI) units] and 4% increased
Malignant diseases develop slowly over time and are often preceded by identifiable premalignancies. As malignancy progresses, so does genomic complexity and the ability of cancers to evade most therapeutic interventions. Accordingly, with some notable exceptions, a relatively low percentage of
We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients with Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) at a university hospital in order to assess the relationship between delay in treatment and mortality and to identify predictors of delay in initiating therapy. Patients with RMSF who received
Because of its peculiar geographic location beneath Mont-Blanc, the Chamonix Hospital plays an important role in the management of mountaineering- and skiing-related traumatic injuries. The authors, thanks to the study of 5200 mountain rescue medical reports, set out to explain the different aspects
The occurrence of massive skin necrosis of approximately 50% of the body surface area in an 8-year-old girl with Rocky Mountain spotted fever is reported. Although the surgeon will not often be confronted with the management of Rocky Mountain spotted fever or its complications, certain therapeutic
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a serious infectious disease that continues to occur with increasing incidence in various areas of the United States. A high case-fatality ratio (11%) persists in spite of availability of adequate chemotherapeutic agents, and the cardiac involvement may play an
