Inflammation underlying cardiovascular mortality is a late consequence of evolutionary programming.
With the increase in life expectancy, death from cardiovascular disease has risen greatly. There is increasing evidence that inflammation plays an important role in cardiovascular disease. We postulate that the development of cardiovascular disease in old age is a late consequence of evolutionary programming for a pro-inflammatory response to resist infections in early age. In 311 women, aged 8...
متن کاملCholesteatoma – A Potential Consequence of Chronic Middle Ear Inflammation
While the middle ear is the most typical localization, ectopic cholesteatoma has been described for many sites, including the mastoid process [5], the petrous bone [6-8], the external auditory canal [9-14], the paranasal sinuses [15-17] with special emphasis on the frontal sinus [18-19], the genitourinary tract [20] including the ureter [21-23], the renal pelvis [21], the pyelocaliceal region [...
متن کاملIs Absorption a Consequence of Unitarity ?
Absorptive corrections to scattering and production in a family of explicitly unitary models is studied. We find that in a particular model in which quantum number constraints are ignored, all the results concerning absorptive corrections found in the Reggeon calculus model of Abramovskii, Kancheli, and Gribov are reproduced. In extended models, however, the effects due to quantum numbers and/o...
متن کاملModulation of CFTR gene expression in HT-29 cells by extracellular hyperosmolarity.
Hypertonicity has pleiotropic effects on cell function, including activation of transporters and regulation of gene expression. It is important to investigate the action of hypertonicity on cystic fibrosis gene expression because cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), the cAMP-regulated Cl(-) channel, regulates ion transport across the secretory epithelia, which are often i...
متن کاملPotential Interplay between Hyperosmolarity and Inflammation on Retinal Pigmented Epithelium in Pathogenesis of Diabetic Retinopathy.
Diabetic retinopathy is a frequent eyesight threatening complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Under physiological conditions, the inner and the outer blood-retinal barriers protect the retina by regulating ion, protein, and water flux into and out of the retina. During diabetic retinopathy, many factors, including inflammation, contribute to the rupture of the inner and/or the outer blood...
