Effect of walking at home on heart functioning levels of people with heart failure
Background and Objectives: Heart failure is more common in the elderly than in the general population. Among the non-drug treatments, the easiest and most comprehensible method is direct implementation of sports program. Due to high cost of hospital care for patients with heart failure and complications, this study examined the effects of walking as a form of rehabilitation program. The subject...
متن کاملCross-reactivity of Streptococcus mutans antigens and human heart tissue.
Rocket and two-dimensional immunoelectrophoreses were used to demonstrate that antisera from rabbits immunized with Streptococcus mutans strain B13 cross-reacted with human heart tissue. Absorption of the anti-S. mutans serum with S. mutans whole cells removed all reactivity to heart tissue, but did not remove the reactivity of an added antibody marker to its corresponding antigen. The anti-S. ...
متن کاملDo lymphocytes from Chagasic patients respond to heart antigens?
Lymphocyte transformation studies of nonadherent lymphocytes from chronic Chagasic and uninfected persons demonstrated that responses of all individuals to a mouse heart homogenate showed a correlation with responses to streptococcal antigens. Considering the known cross-reactions between streptococcal and cardiac antigens and the high reactivity of Chagasic patients to streptococcal antigens, ...
متن کاملYoung at Heart
In this issue of Cell, Loffredo et al. demonstrate that exposing an old mouse to the circulatory system of a young mouse reverses age-related cardiac hypertrophy. The authors demonstrate that this effect can be recapitulated by treating old mice with growth and differentiation factor 11 (GDF11). These data suggest that GDF11 therapy may be a useful tool in combating age-related cardiac hypertro...
متن کاملUnanticipated Antigens: Translation Initiation at CUG with Leucine
Major histocompatibility class I molecules display tens of thousands of peptides on the cell surface for immune surveillance by T cells. The peptide repertoire represents virtually all cellular translation products, and can thus reveal a foreign presence inside the cell. These peptides are derived from not only conventional but also cryptic translational reading frames, including some without c...
