Association between Galectin-3 and oxidative stress parameters with coronary artery disease in Tunisian population

1.1. Background: Galectin-3 (Gal-3), as a mediator of inflamma tion and fibrosis, has been reported to be a biomarker of severity in coronary artery disease (CAD). The study aimed to assess the rela tionships between coronary artery disease (CAD) and risk factors, including parameters of oxidative stress in Tunisian patients CAD.

The risks of using 2,4‑dinitrophenol (2,4‑DNP) as a weight loss agent: a literature review

The prevalence of obesity has steadily increased in response to changes in diet and physical activity patterns over the past 10 years, becoming one of the leading causes of morbidity and mor tality worldwide. In addition, the popularity of social networks has increased social and cultural pressure for the search for the “perfect body”.

The Role of Genetic Mutations in Genes RUNX1, RUNX1T1, CBFB & MYH11 on Core Binding Factor Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) is one of the causes of he matopoietic tissue (bone marrow) called acute myeloid leukemia. In normal bone marrow, early blood cells called hematopoietic stem cells develop into several types of blood cells: white blood cells (leukocytes) that protect the body against infection, red blood cells (erythrocytes) ) that carry oxygen

COVID-19-associated pneumothorax: case reports

Spontaneous pneumothorax associated with COVID-19 is rare. We reported four cases and reviewed the literature. Among the reports, 29% and 42% were a-/oligosymptomatic or symptomatic but improving, respectively. Clinicians must be aware of this com plication because it can happen when the patient with COVID-19 was a-/oligosymptomatic or had improving symptoms.

The effectiveness of the blockade of the transverse abdominal space in the early postoperative period after cesarean section

Recently, active research has been conducted in the schemes of multimodal anesthesia of new methods of regional anesthesia based on myofascial blocks. Such blocks include the blockade of the transverse abdominal space (Transversus abdominis planet block – TAR). The advantage of this anesthesia is ease of imple mentation, low risk of complications, impact on the

The Importance of Framing at the Beginning of an Review Dialogue

Long-term care of patients with chronic conditions in general prac tice rarely focuses on the treatment process. A specific interaction tool, the Review Dialogue (RD), has been developed to integrate patients’ health-related problems/risks as well as coping strategies and to agree upon shared treatment objectives assuming that peri odical RDs will help to achieve them.
