Macromolecular crowding in vitro as means of emulating cellular interiors: when less might be more.
Fascinating evidence was presented recently that monocrowding with Ficoll 70 (Fc70) improves the refolding speed of VlsE that was unfolded in urea (1). This demonstrated the power of macromolecular crowding as present in cellular interiors. However, we noted that the Fc70 concentrations used in this study (1) are high enough to cause self-crowding (2), meaning compaction of the crowder, thus di...
متن کاملMetronomic Chemotherapy: When Less May Be More
The use of low dose continuous schedules of chemotherapy (i.e. metronomic chemotherapy), delivered at lower doses by necessity compared to traditional dosing schemes, has become an increasingly popular addition to patient management in veterinary medical oncology. While the concept itself is not new, as low dose, maintenance chemotherapy protocols have been important components of treatment for...
متن کاملContemporary stent treatment of coronary bifurcations.
Treatment of coronary bifurcation lesions represents a challenging area in interventional cardiology. The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) reduced restenosis in the main branch (MB). However, restenosis at the ostium of the side branch (SB) remains a problem. Although stenting the MB with provisional SB stenting seems to be the prevailing approach, in the era of DES various two-stent t...
متن کاملTreatment of hypercholesterolemia in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis might be more beneficial than indicated.
Cholesterol circulating levels are elevated in most of the patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. This review questions whether hypercholesterolaemia represents a cardiovascular risk in primary biliary cirrhosis and whether it should be treated. The published evidence indicates that hypercholesterolaemia in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis should be considered a cardiovascular risk fac...
متن کاملFluid therapy might be more difficult than you think.
Robert G. Hahn, MD, PhD Young anesthesiologists have long been taught that the replacement of losses is the key target in the management of IV fluid therapy. During surgery, a fluid deficit is undoubtedly created by preoperative fasting, surgical blood loss, evaporation, and urinary excretion. The vasodilatation induced by many forms of anesthesia allows the vascular space to contain more plasm...
