COVID-19 is pandemic and, though it primarily affects the lungs, there is evidence of cardiovascular system involvement. Mechanistically, SARS-CoV-2, following proteolytic cleavage of its S protein by a serine protease, binds to the transmembrane angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) —a homologue
The optimal daily dose of metformin is thought to be 2000 mg, however patients with metformin intolerance cannot reach this target dose. Participate in this study are metformin intolerant. Metformin intolerant patients have been defined as those not able to be treated with the metformin daily dose
The investigators obtained three (baseline, post-exercise, post-de-training) subcutaneous fat biopsies from 32 healthy men who undertook three different eight week exercise programs [aerobic (9 participants), resistance (8 participants), combined (aerobic+resistance, 8 participants)] and a
Metabolic and endocrine perturbations including insulin resistance, diabetes, and dyslipidemia have been of significant concern in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals. HIV-infected individuals may be at risk of accelerated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) and
.Endometrial cancer represents the most common gynecologic cancer, and it is expected to become an even greater public health concer as the prevalence of obesity, one of the most common risk factors for endometrial cancer, increases worldwide, Approximately 42,160 cases are diagnosed annually, 7,780
Human epididymis protein 4, a putative protease inhibition containing two Whey Acid Protein domains, is significantly increased in the endometrioid subtype of endometrial carcinoma.
Tissue microarray and polymerase chain reaction studies confirmed a high level of human epididymis 4 expression in
The prevalences of overweight (body-mass-index, BMI 25-30 kg/m2) and obesity (BMI>30 kg/m2) are steadily increasing among HIV-infected patients globally. In parallel, the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) increases. Clinically alarming are the data which suggest that HIV infected
Nearly immediately following the characterization of HIV, the metabolic disturbances in HIV-positive patients, particularly changes in insulin sensitivity, were reported. The chronic inflammation due to metabolic changes caused by HIV-Infection on one hand and the antiretroviral therapy (ART) itself
The dosage of Corifollitropin alfa used for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) is adjusted according to the patient's body weight. Meaning, in women with a body weight ≤ 60 kg, a single dose of 100 mcg of Corifollitropin alfa is administered for COH and in women with a body weight > 60 kg, a
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a painful and debilitating disease of the synovial joints, affecting the structural and functional integrity of articular cartilage, subchondral bone, synovium and the adjacent supporting connective tissue . It is a degenerative disorder characterized by cartilage loss with
Our primary endpoint is the individual trough concentrations of interest at steady state for NNRTI or boosted PI; Principal outcome measure: comparison of the concentrations between patients <25kg/m2 and patients<25kg/m2
Secondary endpoints:
- Occurrence of virologic failure
- Occurrence of
AAT is a protein produced by the human liver and secreted into the blood circulation. AAT, which belongs to a group of serine protease inhibitors (SERPINS) is an acute stress reactant protein that increases during stress conditions, including inflammation. AAT blocks serine proteases that enhance
After more than ten years since it was started, it has already been established that highly-active antiretroviral treatment (HAART) has caused a dramatic reduction in the morbidity and mortality of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. However, HAART is not exempt of limitations, namely, its
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, a member of the serine protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily, is the principal inhibitor to tissue-type plasminogen activator and urokinase-type plasminogen activator. Elevated plasma PAI-1 levels, an independent cardiovascular risk factor, has been shown to be a
