Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is characterized by the presence of a benign ovarian tumor associated with ascites and a right-sided hydrothorax. The major problem associated with pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is the respiratory distress caused by a giant mass in the peritoneal space, massive ascites and pleural effusion. Even if there are no respiratory problems prior to surgery, potential respiratory dysfunc...

Metastasis is the major cause of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)-associated mortality. Hypoxia promotes cancer cell migration and remote metastasis, which occur with hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) stabilization and vimentin upregulation. However, the evolutionary dynamics that link the changes in HIF-1α and vimentin levels under hypoxic conditions are not well understood. In the pres...

There are three major types of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) with respect to prevalence and health consequences, i.e. obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), Cheyne-Stokes respiration and central sleep apnoea (CSR-CSA) in chronic heart failure, and obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). In all three conditions, hypoxia appears to affect body functioning in different ways. Most of the mole...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Low-grade systemic inflammation is considered a hallmark of COPD that potentially links COPD to increased rate of systemic manifestations of the disease. Obesity with/without the metabolic syndrome and cachexia represent two poles of metabolic abnormalities that may relate to systemic inflammatio...

The further and higher educational experiences consequent employability of women with the under-researched Triple X syndrome are arguably unknown. This research study examines their special edu...

Abstract Sleep apnea syndrome is a sleep disease that may lead to sudden death. Long term can cause chronic cerebral hypoxia, hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications. At present, PSG the most reliable method for diagnosis. But diagnosis of complex expensive. Electrocardiograph(ECG) portable medical equipment have been widely used nowadays, which makes acquisition ECG sign...

Hypoxia-induced chemoresistance (HICR) is a well-recognized phenomenon, and in many experimental models, hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is believed to be a key player. We aimed to better understand the mechanism underlying HICR in a triple negative breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231, with a focus on the role of HIF-1α. In this context, the effect of hypoxia on the sensitivity of MDA-MB-2...

Background: Intracranial hypertension (IH) is a secondary clinical condition due to the loss of brain compensatory mechanisms, leading increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and changes in cerebral blood flow, which can result hypoxia, injury, herniation. Brain4care (b4c) device that explores variations compliance allows measurement ICP non-invasive serial way, addition, it predict evolution tre...

239 sulted in 2 normal living children. The 3rd pregnancy resulted in a spontaneous abortion. Her last pregnancy at the age of 29 years resulted in a child with Down's syndrome. The child had 47 chromosomes with trisomy 21. The patient also has 47 chromosomes with a triple X karyotype. About 200% of her buccal cells contain 2 chromatin bodies. The patient's husband is physically and mentally no...
