attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/hypoxia

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be caused by genetic or environmental factors. Among environmental factors, perinatal complications are related, such as neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI). Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate whether HI contributes to the development of

OBJECTIVE This secondary analysis of the prospective study on repeat [18F]fluoromisonidazole (FMISO)-PET in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) assessed the prognostic value of synchronous hypoxia in primary tumor (Tu) and lymph node metastases (LN), and

BACKGROUND Hypoxemia may influence the prognosis of patients with mild pneumonia, regardless of the initial CURB-65 score (confusion, blood urea nitrogen > 20 mg/dL, respiratory rate > 30 breaths/min, blood pressure < 90/60 mm Hg, and age ≥ 65 y). OBJECTIVE To determine the risk factors associated

Neonatal hypoxia-ischemia (HI) and the delayed injury cascade that follows involve excitotoxicity, oxidative stress and mitochondrial failure. The susceptibility to excitotoxicity of the neonatal brain may be related to the capacity of astrocytes for glutamate uptake. Furthermore, the neonatal brain

Vascular disruption secondary to fracture leads to a hypoxic zone of injury where the oxygen tension at the center of the wound is quite low. In this dynamic microenvironment, a number of growth factors are elaborated to stimulate the synthetic processes of fracture repair. Previously the authors

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Castration therapy has rather modest effects on cell death in tumours but can be enhanced by other treatments targeting tumour stroma and vasculature. This study shows that the prostate becomes hypoxic following castration and that targeting

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic significance of potential tumour markers of hypoxia and apoptosis in early squamous cell carcinoma of the glottic larynx managed with radiotherapy. METHODS In total, 382 patients with T1 and T2 squamous cell carcinoma of the glottic larynx (vocal cords) received

The immune system constitutes an important first-line defence against malignant transformation. However, cancer mediated immunosuppression inactivates the mechanisms of host immune surveillance. Cancer cells shut down anti-cancer immunity through direct cell-cell interactions with leukocytes and

Although oxygen deprivation has long been associated with triggering of the procoagulant pathway and venous thrombosis, blood hypoxemia and stasis by themselves do not lead to fibrin formation. A pathway is outlined through which diminished levels of oxygen activate the transcription factor early

Hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) represses the transcription of pro-apoptotic bid in colorectal cancer cells in vitro. To assess the clinical relevance of this observation, HIF-1alpha and Bid were assessed in serial sections of 39 human colorectal adenocarcinomas by immunohistochemistry. In high

BACKGROUND It has been proven that hypoxia could promote tumor cells invasion and metastasis by different mechanisms, but the relationship between hypoxia and CCR7 have not been reported. The aim of this investigate is to evaluate the effects of hypoxia on the expression of CCR7 and the invasiveness

OBJECTIVE To improve treatment results of patients with CAP using hypercapnic hypoxia as a part of an integrated therapy. METHODS The study involved 37 men aged 20 to 50 years diagnosed with CAP. The subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups. The control group consisted of 17 (46%) patients who

Measurements of normoxic, hypoxic (15% or 10% O₂) and post-hypoxic oxygen consumption (VO₂) were conducted in chicken embryos every other day between embryonic day 3 (E3) and day 19 (E19), out of a total embryogenic period of 20.5 days. The results indicated that, irrespective of age, hypoxia

This study evaluates the hypothesis that ethanol alone, or in diluents for drugs used to protect hypoxic mice, is responsible in part for an increased tolerance to hypoxia (4-5% oxygen). The change in hypoxic tolerance following i.v. or i.p. administration of ethanol, diazepam, nimodipine and
