Effect of sprint training on resting serum irisin concentration - Sprint training once daily vs. twice every other day.

Metabolism: clinical and experimental
OBJECTIVE: Exercise twice every other day has been shown to lead to increasing peroxisome proliferator receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) expression (up-stream factor of irisin) via lowered muscle glycogen level during second of exercise compared wit...

Serial change of C1 inhibitor in patients with sepsis--a preliminary report.

The American journal of emergency medicine
OBJECTIVE: C1 inhibitor (C1INH) regulates not only the complement system but also the plasma kallikrein-kinin, fibrinolytic, and coagulation systems. The biologic activities of C1INH can be divided into the regulation of vascular permeability and ant...

Acute gastrointestinal toxicity and bowel bag dose-volume parameters for preoperative radiation therapy for retroperitoneal sarcoma.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: Acute gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity has been studied in GI and gynecological (GYN) cancers, with volume receiving 15 Gy (V15) <830 mL, V25 <650 mL, and V45 <195 mL identified as dose constraints for the peritoneal space (bowel bag [BB]). Th...

Bladder dose-volume parameters are associated with urinary incontinence after postoperative intensity modulated radiation therapy for prostate cancer.

Practical radiation oncology
PURPOSE: Urinary incontinence is a potential side effect of prostatectomy and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for prostate cancer. There are limited data on dosimetric parameters that may predict for poor continence recovery in men who r...

Image quality and effective dose of a robotic flat panel 3D C-arm vs computed tomography.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to determine the effective dose and corresponding image quality of different imaging protocols of a robotic 3D flat panel C-arm in comparison to computed tomography (CT).

Estimating the dim light melatonin onset of adolescents within a 6-h sampling window: the impact of sampling rate and threshold method.

Sleep medicine
OBJECTIVE/BACKGROUND: Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders (CRSWDs) often manifest during the adolescent years. Measurement of circadian phase such as the dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) improves diagnosis and treatment of these disorders, but fina...

Postural visual dependence in asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients without peripheral neuropathy during a postural challenging task.

Journal of diabetes and its complications
UNLABELLED: Increasing evidence indicates that diabetes may negatively affect vestibular function, and postural control more so under postural challenging conditions. Healthy and diabetic subjects were compared on visual control of posture during a p...

Immediate hemodynamic changes after revascularization of complete infrarenal aortic occlusion: A classic issue revisited.

Medical hypotheses
Chronic total occlusion of the infrarenal aorta (CTOA) is a rare disease, characterized by severe impairment of limb perfusion. It is advocated that revascularization may improve survival rates, presumably due to improved cardiovascular performance; ...

Efavirenz pharmacogenetics in a cohort of Italian patients.

International journal of antimicrobial agents
The pharmacogenetics and pharmacokinetics of efavirenz (EFV) have been widely studied, although data in the Italian population are limited. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CYP2B6 gene have been associated with increased EFV plasma conce...
