Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma, an Updated Review
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVBCL) is a rare but aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is characterized by the malignant proliferation of lymphocytic tumor cells in the lumens of capillaries, small arterioles, and post-capillary venules. There exists two clinical variants: the Asian variant and the Western variant. The former is associated with neurologic and dermatologic signs and symptoms, whereas the latter often presents with splenomegaly, jaundice, and hemophagocytes. Lymphadenopathy is uncommon, and patients typically have nonspecific symptom
Effects of High-Intensity Circuit Training on Body Composition and Selected Cardiovascular Parameters in Overweight and Obese Children Aged 9-12
The problem of excess body weight is becoming an epidemic in the general population, especially among children aged to 12 years old. Efforts are being made to find a way to retreat the unfavorable changes related with obesity. This
problem is escalating, and the direction of effective protective actions is not sufficiently recognized. The research presented
in this study demonstrate the range of changes in overweight and obese children after an 8 weeks of circuit training program, with simultaneous parental education on modifying their children dietary habits
Evaluation of The Viability and Phenotipe of Adipose Derived Cells Harvested Using Different Harvesting and Processing Procedures: A Pilot Study
Abstract
Background: Clinical studies demonstrated the efficacy of therapies based on the autologous grafting of adult mesenchymal stem cells to accelerate the healing and regenerative processes of the skin and mesenchymal tissues therefore, this is
considered a valuable approach in the aesthetic rejuvenation treatment to give volume restoration and skin regeneration
effects.
Objective: The aim of this project consists of the evaluation of the cell viability of adipose tissue (AT) harvested using
the Superficial Enhanced Fluid Fat Injection (SEFFI) procedure standardized by the Authors (AG, FPB). The harvesting
procedure was performed using two different cannulas having 0.8 mm and 1 mm side-port holes, respectively. Cells phenotype and ability to adhere to the plastic surface have been analysed. The results have been compared to those recorded
in adipose tissue harvested using a liposuction system and processed with enzymatic digestion (collagenase).
Methods: This study was performed on adipose tissues harvested from 7 patients (6 females and 1 male) with an average
age of 48.5 years with two different techniques and three different cannulas. We compared the cell vitality of every sample
at T0 and T72. Moreover, the samples were analysed to determine the phenotype: cells were incubated with antibodies
anti human against CD90-FITC, CD73-PeCy7, CD44-PE, CD31-PECy5, CD235a- PECy7, CD34-FITC, CD45-FITC and
CD146-FITC and read using the flow cytometer s3e Cell Sorter, BioRad. Results were analysed using the software Flow Jo.
Benefits and Health Risks Associated with Energy Booster Drinks: A Review Study
There are several energy drinks available in the market such as Red Bull, Sting, Rebound, Power Up! Triple X Energy Drink, and so on. After the Red Bull drink was introduced in the market in1990s, Energy drinks started to gain popularity and afterwards it became a common name especially among teenagers and young adults [1]. Most energy drinks are caffeinated nonindulgent beverages that are professed to give an additional increase in energy for day-by-day work, increase alertness, and improve athletic performance and mood. There are even certain shreds of evidence present to substantiate these claims, but the effects of these drinks on mental and physical health cannot be neglected. There are reports of adverse events such as insomnia, anxiety, cardiovascular events, seizures, tachycardia, type-2 diabetes, and even death are associated with the consumption of these drinks [2]. This review will focus on energy drinks, their ingredients, health risks associated with these drinks, and will also suggest some recommendations such as changes in marketing, providing education to children regarding adverse effects of these drinks, and further research should be carried out in this domain.
Cardio-Vascular Outcome Assessment of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy beyond 12 Months Following Drug Eluting Stent Implantation - Real World Scenario
In spite of recommendation for antiplatelet therapy following drug eluting stent (DES) implantation, the prescription for antiplatelet therapy in real world clinical practice varies from centre to centre as per physician discretion. The study was intended to assess the cardiovascular outcomes and bleeding complications of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) beyond 12 months following DES implantation.
Can Vitamin D Deficiency be a Risk Factor for Coronary Artery Disease? A Large Cross-Sectional Study of Patients Referred to Cardiovascular Clinic
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide.Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common form of CVD. To prevent CAD we need to assess the risk of future CAD in all patients referred for cardiovascular care, but each of the several available systems for risk assessment has its own
limitations. This study was designed to determine whether vitamin D deficiency is a potential risk factor for CAD.
Obesity as Behavioral Risk Factors of Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases in Young Gabonese Population
Obesity increases of prevalence of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in young active populations worldwide. We sought to investigate
the status of young men (n=200) and women (n=200) aged from 18 to 39 years old, living at Libreville, by examining their lifestyles and
eating habits, and measuring their anthropometric parameters, including, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), percentages of total
muscles, lean mass, body and visceral fats, as well as metabolic age and metabolism at rest.
Computer Simulations of Brain Oxygenation at the Microvascular Level Validating a New Role of the Arterioles
Brain physiology critically depends on constant oxygen supply to the neurons to ensure various energy–dependent functions of the
central nervous system. A volume of latest experimental data on oxygen metabolism obtained with high temporal and spatial resolution,
with both invasive and non-invasive methods, and the use of technologies of various degrees of sophistication, strongly suggests arteriole
involvement in brain oxygenation. This new approach challenges the traditional views on brain oxygenation according to which oxygen
supply to the brain tissues occurs by diffusion at the capillary level.
A Case of Lambda AL Type Skeletal Amyloidosis with Vascular Myopathy Achieved Clinical Response after Autologous Stem Cell Transplant
Amyloidosis involving the vascular musculoskeletal system is rare and currently, there is no standard treatment protocol for the treatment
of skeletal muscle AL amyloidosis associated with vascular myopathies. Furthermore, the data on the efficacy and safety of autologous
stem cell transplant is unclear. In this rare case, a biopsy-proven diagnosis of AL type amyloidosis with an unusual presentation of
proximal muscle weakness significantly improved with high dose melphalan followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. The
patient achieved and maintained remission for a year post-transplant
Effect of Body Mass Index on 30-day and 1-year Mortality after Endovascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair
Obesity contributes to chronic diseases including diabetes, hypertension, and heart failure, disease states that negatively affect life expectancy.
Immediate Mandibular Reconstruction with Vascularized Iliac Crest Flap Following Wide Ameloblastoma Resection: Two Case Reports
Ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic tumor, comprising 1% of all tumors and cysts of the jaws. A lot of the patients are asymptomatic and most cases are diagnosed when the swelling is already evident. It is a locally aggressive tumor with a high recurrence rate when conservative surgical treatment is applied (up to 80%). That is why current treatment consists of wide resection of the lesion with safety margins of healthy bone beyond radiographic limits.
Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography for Choroidal Neovascularization and Subretinal Fibrosis in Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is characterized by a progressive fragmentation and calcification of elastic fibers in connective tissue and when Bruch membrane (BM) is affected ocular modifications can be found. Recently, Optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCT-A) contribute to a better comprehension of lesions in PXE.
Cardiovascular Responses of Patients with Obesity Submitted to a Proof of Effort
Obesity is a multisystemic disease. It is a coronary risk factor, that promotes or is associated with other
components such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, etc.
Computer Modeling of Convective Mass Transfer of Glucose, Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide in the Neurovascular Unit
Glucose and oxygen are obligatory energy substrates for the brain and their continuous supply to the neurons, as well as the elimination of the end product – carbon dioxide, is of paramount importance for brain physiology and survival. Transport of these substrates from the brain capillaries to the neurons presents a challenging issue.
Review of the Diagnostic Value of Ultrasound Imaging in Giant Cell Arteritis
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) requires prompt diagnosis as clinical indicators of GCA are non-specific. Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) can be inconclusive and difficult to arrange timely. MR imaging is accurate for showing vessel thickening. However, the availability of MRI remains an issue in many radiology departments.
