Oxygen Use in Neonatal Care: A Two-edged Sword
In the neonatal period, the clinical use of oxygen should be taken into consideration for its beneficial and toxicity effects. Oxygen toxicity is due to the development of reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as OH• that is one of the strongest oxidants in nature. Of note, generation of ROS is a normal occurrence in human and it is involved in a myriad of physiological reactions. Anyway an imbala...
متن کاملOxygen Therapy in Critical Care: A Double Edged Sword
The oxygen therapy is an universal treatment in the hospital setting, especially in the critical care units. The purpose of this therapy is to avoid hypoxemia and to ensure an adequate supply of oxygen to the tissues. But often we overlook the potential adverse effects of oxygen therapy. Oxygen produces lung damage and induces apoptosis and cell death creating an imbalance between the productio...
متن کاملSuperoxide: a two-edged sword
Superoxide (O2 ) is the compound obtained when oxygen is reduced by one electron. For a molecule with an unpaired electron, O2 is surprisingly inert, its chief reaction being a dismutation in which it reacts with itself to form H2O2 and oxygen. The involvement of O2 in biological systems was first revealed by the discovery in 1969 of superoxide dismutase, an enzyme that catalyzes the dismutatio...
متن کاملThe two-edged sword.
Unlike most chronic illnesses which have been declining or stabilizing in prevalence, incidence of type 2 diabetes has been increasing in the Western Hemisphere, and is now increasing at alarming rates in Asia1. While all causes of these increases cannot be identified, without question the increase in adiposity is an important contributor. The latter is due to increased caloric intake and reduc...
متن کاملBRAF inhibitors: two edged sword
Somatic mutations in BRAF occur in two thirds of cutaneous melanomas, leading to the activation of the RAF-MEK-ERK signalling pathway. Preclinical studies of BRAF mutations showed that inhibition of BRAF led to melanoma cell proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction in vitro and blockade of melanoma xenograft growth in vivo. Clinical studies of BRAF inhibitors in BRAF-mutated metastatic ...
