In the US, carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning accounts for 1,300 deaths and 50,000 emergency department visits annually. Previous report showed that 37% of patients with moderate to severe CO poisoning experience a myocardial injury defined as elevated cardiac enzyme [creatine kinase, CK-MB, and cardiac

AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's disease. It is characterized by degeneration of the dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra and striatum, even before the clinical symptoms develop. Although the pathogenesis is still unclear, some viruses have

Muscle power is one of the most important parameters in almost every athletic action, and expresses the ability of the human muscle to produce great amounts of force with the greatest possible speed. Thus, muscle power is critical for high performance in athletic actions such as jumping, throwing,

Criteria of peripheral hypotonia are : absent or depressed tendon reflexes , failure of movements on postural reflexes ,fasciculation with or without muscle atrophy .A sequential scheme of localization would begin with the anterior horn cell (AHC), and progress to the peripheral nerve ,

Registry procedures: This study is the follow-up study of the Simple Intensive Care Studies I (SICS-I, NCT02912624). All eligible patients will first be included in the Simple Observational Critical Care Studies (SOCCS, NCT03553069) within 3 hours after ICU admission. The SOCCS includes all acutely

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common neuromuscular disease seen in childhood. DMD is an X linked recessive disorder. DMD is characterized by complete or partial (<3%) deficiency of the cell membrane protein dystrophin. Dystrophin deficiency results in a permanent deterioration of

1.1 Basic information Pneumonia is still the most important infectious disease in terms of morbidity and mortality and is one of the most common causes of hospitalization for acute respiratory failure. The aim of this trial is to compare the use of High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) oxygenation versus

Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is a myopathy that usually does not become apparent before the age of 50 to 60. The disease is characterized by a progressive weakening of the muscles, including the finger flexors of the hand and proximal leg muscles. Swallowing problems are often observed.

Recent interest has emerged on the role of hypoenergetic very low calorie diets (VLCD) in managing overweight and obese people with or without type 2 diabetes. However, VLCD results in 20-30% of mass lost as lean body mass (LBM) besides adipose tissue. Since LBM in the form of skeletal muscle plays

1.0 INTRODUCTION The association between parathyroidectomy and cardiovascular status improvement is still inconclusive. There is evidence to suggest that primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with hypertension, whereas few studies show that hypertension does not reverse after surgical

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an X-chromosome-linked disorder, in which there is a loss of motor neurons from the anterior horn of the spinal cord due to a deletion of the SMN1 gene. SMA is usually classified under 4 categories, based on the onset time and severity of the conditions. Type I SMA

Background: Many myopathies are inherited in a recessive manner, but in some of these recessively inherited disorders, clinical manifestations may potentially manifest in carriers of just a single mutation. This has recently been demonstrated by researchers for the recessively inherited limb girdle

Objective To evaluate the impact of the intradialytic physical training program on the level of disability and physical performance in patients subjected to hemodialysis. Materials and methods 18 patients subjected to hemodialysis, whose ages ranged from 54 to 84 (10 women) were included in the
