Albumin: innocent bystander or culprit?
ALPORT SYNDROME (AS) is a hereditary glomerulopathy associated with hearing loss and ocular abnormalities that, if left untreated, inevitably progresses to glomerulosclerosis and endstage renal disease (ESRD) (6). AS is caused by mutations in collagen type IV genes and is associated with thickening and splitting of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), ultimately rendering it leaky for albumi...
متن کاملAra h 6 sensitization in peanut allergy: friend, foe or innocent bystander?
The clinical role of Ara h 6 sensitization in peanut allergy is a current matter of debate. We investigated the role of Ara h 6 sensitization patterns in a sample of young adults from different Italian cities. Sera of 33 patients with specific IgE against Ara h 6 were selected. According to clinical symptoms upon peanut ingestion, patients were divided into severe reaction (SR) and mild-toleran...

Programmed st...
متن کاملEmerging Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Strains?
Escherichia coli strains of nonenteropathogenic serogroups carrying eae but lacking the enteropathogenic E. coli adherence factor plasmid and Shiga toxin DNA probe sequences were isolated from patients (children, adults, and AIDS patients) with and without diarrhea in Brazil. Although diverse in phenotype and genotype, some strains are potentially diarrheagenic.
متن کاملLipoprotein oxidation in cardiovascular disease: chief culprit or innocent bystander?
Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is thought to contribute to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Consistent with this idea, the antioxidant drug probucol reduces the risk of restenosis, a form of cardiovascular disease, in humans. However, a new study now suggests that the protective effect of probucol depends not on its ability to inhibit lipid oxidation, but on its ability t...
