Intestinal gas dynamics: mechanisms and clinical relevance.
Patients with functional gut disorders, irritable bowel disease, and related syndromes frequently attribute their symptoms to intestinal gas. While patients are usually convinced of their interpretation, the doctor has few arguments to confirm or refute it, and in this context intestinal gas has become a myth. Studies of intestinal gas dynamics have demonstrated subtle dysfunctions in intestina...
متن کاملMechanisms of pulsus alternans.
The mechanisms of pulsus alternans were studied in three patients by cineangiographic determinations of left ventricular volume. In two patients with left ventricular disease, pulsus altemans occurred without detectable variation in left ventricular enddiastolic pressure (LVEDP) or end-diastolic volume (EDV), although in the second case these values did alternate in the initial postextrasystoli...
متن کاملAtrial fibrosis: mechanisms and clinical relevance in atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the clinical setting, and traditional pharmacological approaches have proved to have important weaknesses. Structural remodeling has been observed in both clinical and experimental AF paradigms, and is an important feature of the AF substrate, producing fibrosis that alters atrial tissue composition and function. The precise mechanisms u...
متن کاملInsulin resistance in chronic hepatitis C: mechanisms and clinical relevance.
Insulin resistance is the main clinical and pathogenetic feature of the metabolic syndrome, one of the major health problems worldwide. Chronic liver diseases may induce insulin resistance. The hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome is nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Insulin promotes the storage of energy in the fed state by stimulation of glycogen synthesis, lipogenesis, suppression...
متن کاملSpinophilin in human cancer-molecular mechanisms and clinical relevance
Spinophilin, a multifunctional intracellular protein, has attracted attention within the last years as a novel putative tumor suppressor protein. Recent studies have shown a reduction of spinophilin expression levels in various types of cancer, such as lung adenocarcinoma, ovarian cancer, and chronic myelogenous leukemia. Low expression of spinophilin was also associated with a higher malignant...
