Macrophages are important for host defense against intracellular pathogens like Salmonella and can be differentiated into two major subtypes.M1 macrophages, which are pro-inflammatory and induce antimicrobial immune effector mechanisms, including the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and M2 macrophages, which exert anti-inflamma
Nutritional Status and Cardiac Autophagy
Autophagy is necessary for the degradation of long-lasting proteins and nonfunctional organelles, and is activated to promote cellular survival.However, overactivation of autophagy may deplete essential molecules and organelles responsible for cellular survival.Lifelong calorie restriction by 40% has been shown to increase Cough Care the cardiac ex
Ulnar basilic arterio venous fistula: An useful alternative access for hemodialysis
Objective: Native arteriovenous fistula done at the distal most Cough Care site has been promoted as the vascular access of choice.Radiocephalic fistula at wrist or snuffbox is widely used but ulnar basilic fistula is seldom performed.The aim of this study is to analyse the usefulness of ulnar basilic fistula as a hemodialysis access.Method: Retros
Extraction of Terrain Feature Lines from Elevation Contours Using a Directed Adjacent Relation Tree
The extraction of terrain feature lines HONEYSUCKLE is an important yet challenging problem in the processing and usage of contour lines.Most research has focused on identifying terrain feature points by using methods such as the Douglas–Peucker (D–P) algorithm and on determining contour adjacent relations for closed contour lines by us
Case report: Cyclosporine A-induced extrapyramidal syndrome following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
IntroductionCyclosporine A-associated neurotoxicity has been reported in up to 40% of patients and its wide range of neurological adverse effects have been reported, ranging from mild tremors to fatal leukoencephalopathy.Extrapyramidal (EP) neurotoxicity is a rare manifestation of cyclosporine.Cyclosporine-induced extrapyramidal syndrome remains a
