Mitochondrial medicine--molecular pathology of defective oxidative phosphorylation.
Different tissues display distinct sensitivities to defective mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Tissues highly dependent on oxygen such as the cardiac muscle, skeletal and smooth muscle, the central and peripheral nervous system, the kidney, and the insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cell are especially susceptible to defective OXPHOS. There is evidence that defective OXPHOS play...
متن کاملMedicine, miracle and magic in New Testament times
The commentary itself gives an interesting insight on medical thought and practice during the late twelfth century. The unrivalled position of Hippocratic medicine is evident from Maimonides' statement in his introduction that "these are the aphorisms which every physician, and even non-physician should know by heart". Seven sections follow containing various Hippocratic aphorisms, some of whic...
متن کاملMitochondrial medicine.
Mitochondrial diseases are extremely heterogeneous multisystem disorders predominantly affecting tissues or organs with high oxygen consumption like skeletal muscles, brain, endocrine glands, myocardium, eyes, ears, intestines, liver, kidneys, and bone marrow. Although various clinical syndromes have been described, they frequently overlap and there is no diagnostic gold standard to identify al...
متن کاملMITOCHONDRIAL MEDICINE A history of mitochondrial diseases
This articles reviews the development of mitochondrial medicine from the premolecular era (1962–1988), when mitochondrial diseases were defined on the basis of clinical examination, muscle biopsy, and biochemical criteria, through the molecular era, when the full complexity of these disorders became evident. In a chronological order, I have followed the introduction of new pathogenic concepts t...
متن کاملHLA and renal transplantation: yet another approach.
Renal allografts obtained from living related donors have considerably better chances of success than allografts from cadavers. The genetic factors that influence graft survival are linked to the HLA gene complex. Although results of cadaver transplants have not improved significantly when donor and recipient are matched for HLA-A and -B antigens, accumulating data suggest that matching for the...
