Cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common autosomal recessive disorder at least in western countries, is caused by mutations of the cystic fibrosis transmembranous conductance regulator molecule (CFTR) and affects approximately 40 000 patients in Europe. Most, if not all, CF-patients develop a chronic
Over the past few years, there were growing evidences that clearance of apoptotic cells by phagocytosis can result in powerful anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. The defective clearance of apoptotic cells has been linked to autoimmunity and persistent inflammatory diseases. Apoptotic
Proof of concept for this trial is provided by the results of biochemical, neuropathological and motor effects of pioglitazone in two mouse models of AMN. Pioglitazone was given orally (9 mg/kg/day) for two months in both models.
The Abcd1‐null mouse model already shows at 3,5 months biochemical

Enrolled patients were actively ongoing the surveillance program for the follow up of polyp recurrence and progression to CRC. Eligible patients should have undergone a polypectomy since 2003, affected by multiple polyps < 10 mm or one-two adenomas < 10 mm and/or with a grade of dysplasia to make
Cetuximab, an Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) inhibitor, has shown to improve FOLFIRI efficacy up to 59.3% OR, in wild KRAS patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Skin toxicity occurs in 81.6% of patients as an acne-like skin rash developed on the face and the trunk inducing pain,
Flavonoids are a large group of naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds which are ubiquitous throughout the plant kingdom and are bio-available in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, flowers, and bark. Quercetin has raised particular interest as it is not only a major component of the naturally
Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin disorders, affecting about 2% of the general population. It is considered to be a T-cell-mediated inflammatory skin disease which is characterized by hyper-proliferation and poor differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes. Even if the
Asthma is an increasingly common chronic illness with higher rates of hospitalization for exacerbation than many other chronic conditions. In 2009, total asthma costs in the U.S. were estimated at $56 billion per year, and over half the overall asthma-related costs were attributed to inpatient
liver flukes are disease affecting herbivorous animals and caused by Fasciola hepatica and Fasciola gigantica In Egypt, donkeys and camels as well, are hosts for Fasciola gigantica. Fascioliasis also affects man . number of humans infected with Fasciola spp. has been estimated at 2.6 million .
Although the immune system is essential to survival, a variety of diseases originate from inappropriate or excessive activation of the immune response. Examples include a wide range of auto-inflammatory disease, infectious diseases such as sepsis, but also after major surgery like cardiac artery
Background
Coronary atherosclerosis is responsible for the initiation of acute myocardial infarction with plaque rupture leading to acute coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarction. Current treatment in the acute phase involves re-establishing vessel patency by percutaneous coronary intervention
Introduction:
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult-onset diabetes) is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) in the context of insulin resistance and relative lack of insulin. According to recent survey reports
Background Information and Scientific Rationale
Consumption of long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA; 22:5n-3), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) from fish and fish-oil supplements reduces disease risk
