Molybdenum cofactor deficiency predominantly affects the central nervous system. There are limited data on long-term outcome or brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features. We examined the clinical, brain MRI, biochemical, genetic, and electroencephalographic features and outcome in 8 children
Reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide during ischemia protects the heart against injury from ischemia/reperfusion. However the optimal dose of nitrite and the mechanisms underlying nitrite-induced cardioprotection are not known. We determined the ability of nitrite and nitrate to confer protection
BACKGROUND
Five to 15% of the population have allergy to nickel, chromium, or molybdenum, which is a potential cause for in-stent restenosis. The Titan stent is made of stainless steel and is coated with titanium-nitride oxide (TiNOX), which completely prevents the discharge of metal elements. We
Aging is associated with an increased incidence of pathological conditions such as neurodegeneration, cardiovascular and renal disease, and cancer. These conditions are believed to be linked to a disruption in cell homeodynamics, which is regulated by essential trace elements. In this study we used
There exist 11 essential elements (iron, copper, iodine, zinc, chromium, cobalt, molybdenum, manganese, nickel, selenium and fluorine) vitally important for human health. The deficiency of these trace elements results in many pathological processes, including such world-wide human diseases, as
Ischemia-reperfusion injury has been implicated as playing a major role in the development of necrotizing enterocolitis, a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the newborn. A tungsten-supplemented molybdenum-free diet can reduce xanthine oxidase (XO) enzyme activity in the intestine, which in
The role of xanthine dehydrogenase and oxidase as a source of free radicals contributing to focal cerebral ischemic injury was evaluated in Long-Evans rats after the middle cerebral artery was permanently occluded and both carotid arteries were clamped for 90 min. The fraction of xanthine
The use of drug eluting stents constitutes a major breakthrough in current interventional cardiology because it is more than halves the need of repeat interventions. It is incontrovertible that coronary stents, in general, have been beneficial for the vast majority of patients. A small increase in
