Therapeutic Perspective of the Multisensory Interior Garden for the Older People
1.1. Introduction: The conceptualization of the inherent relation ship between man and nature is called biophilia which refers to the belief that humans are genetically predisposed to be attracted to nature. Science has strengthened the hypothesis contributing to its expansion in various fields such as medicine and psychotherapeu tic interventions
GeneXpert MTB/RIF: A Useful Tool for Rapid and Accurate Diagnosis of Tuberculosis and Rifampicin Resistance
The primary objective of this study was to show the usefulness and importance of GeneXpert MTB/RIF, a rapid test that simultane ously detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and resistance to rifampicin (RIF) in less than 2 hours.
Height is a measure of consumption that incorporates nutritional needs: When and What?
Japan suffered heavily from WWII. Per capita food supply was 1,450 and 1,700 kcal/day in 1946 and 1947, respectively. Japan’s economy quickly recovered to the pre-war level in 10 years after the war, 2,200 kcal/day in average food supply in 1955, making steady progress toward the end of the century.
DNA Methylation and Epigenetic Events Underlying Renal Cell Carcinomas
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) refers to a group of tumors that de velop from the epithelium of the kidney tubes, including clear cell RCC, papillary RCC, and chromophobe RCC. Most clear cell renal carcinomas have a large histologic subtype, genetic or epigenetic genetic von Hippel-Lindau (VHL).
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 and platelets (thrombo cytes) play a role in blood coagulation, in acute myeloid leukemia, the bone marrow produces a large number of abnormal and im mature white blood cells called myeloid blasts.
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. Initiated by the GP, the RD changes the role expectations of the patient and doctor. Therefore, the framing of the encounters is of particular importance.
Radiation Therapy of Thyroid-related Eye Diseases
Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is an autoimmune dis ease associated with thyroid-related posterior ocular and perimeter orbital tissue invasive lesions, with a very high incidence of adult orbital disease, with a male and female proportion of about 3:16. Patients with mild diseases have little impact on life, and moderate and severe cases will even lose vision and even blindness, which brings great inconvenience to life. Therefore, effective treatment is very necessary.
Management Of Acid Base Disorders In Pregnant Woman
The interpretation of the acid-base status is key in medical practice, being its most frequent use in critically ill pregnant patients with any type of hemodynamic alteration such as hemorrhagic shock or septic shock, which happens in most cases, states of hypoperfusion systemic that produce alteration in the acid base state that gener ates primary disorders such as acidemia or alkalemia and its met abolic or respiratory components. We make an approach through an arterial or venous blood gas analysis, which has the advantage of an evaluation in a short time to be a diagnosis and thus take medical conduct for a better management of the pregnant patient.
Cytokine storm syndrome in COVID-19 patients: Characteristics and Diagnosis
Cytokine storm syndrome (CSS) is a critical condition induced by a cascade of cytokine activation, characterized by overwhelming systemic inflammation, hyperferritinaemia, haemodynamic instability and multiple organ failure. At the end of 2019, the disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, China, and rapidly developed into a global pandemic. There is a dramatic increase of inflammatory cytokines in patients with COVID-19, suggesting the existence of cytokine storm in some critical illness patients. Here, we summarize the pathogenesis, clinical manifestation of CSS, and highlight the current understanding about the recognition and diagnosis of CSS in COVID-19.
