Mutations in PIG-A result in a lack of surface expression of all glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins, including the complement inhibitors CD55 and CD59, which is responsible for the h...
متن کاملLow bone mineral density with tenofovir: does statistically significant mean clinically significant?
Adults with human immunodeficiency (HIV) infection appear to have a greater prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and of fractures than do adults without HIV infection [1,2]. HIV infection itself may contribute to this greater prevalence. HIV induces inflammation (a known association with accelerated BMD loss), and low BMD has been reported in individuals with untreated HIV infection [1,...
متن کاملShort Segment Hiatal Hernia: Is It a Clinically Significant Entity?
INTRODUCTION Hiatal hernia (HH) is a well-known contributory factor of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, studies on the clinical significance of simple small HH are lacking. We conducted a study to clarify the clinical significance of short segment HH (SSHH) in relation to GERD. METHODS 4,592 consecutive cases (male/female: 2,076/2,516, median age: 49 years) examined with diagn...
