Elevated lipolysis and circulating free fatty acid (FFA) levels have been linked to the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. A1 adenosine receptor agonists are potent inhibitors of lipolysis. Several A1 agonists have been tested as potential antilipolytic agents; however, their effect on the cardiovascular system remains a potential problem for development of these agents as drugs. In the presen...

BACKGROUND Muslim women tend to postpone their menstrual period using short course oral contraceptives (OC) during Ramadan, Muslims fasting month. Recently, many cases of stroke, particularly cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT), have been reported in Ramadan. OBJECTIVE This work studies the incidence of CVT and its relation to Ramadan. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a cohort study conducted from ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Elevated plasma levels of homocysteine are associated with an increased risk of deep-vein thrombosis. Through a case-control study, we examined the potential association among homocysteine, folate and vitamin B12 levels, and the common C677-->T mutation in the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). METHODS Fo...

abstract: a continuously variable transmission (cvt) is a transmission which may change step less by way of an infinite variety of effective gear ratios between maximum and minimum values. this contrasts with different mechanical transmissions that solely permit just a few different distinct gear ratios to be selected. continuously variable transmissions (cvts) are mechanical devices that allow...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with coagulopathy that can lead to thrombotic complications such as stroke. There are increasing reports of association between active COVID-19 infection and Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT). However, the complication coagulopathy, like CVT, only reported in ongoing infections. We report a 30-year-old healthy man who presented extensiv...

“Telehealth” is a delivery of health-related services and information via telecommunications technologies. Clinical video telehealth (CVT) is a form of telehealth using a real-time video and audio transmission that is used to virtually connect a health care professional and a patient. CVT links the patient at a clinic closer to his or her home to a provider at another location. The goal of tele...

Background and Purpose—Different coagulation disorders have been associated with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). Until now, fewer than 50 patients have been reported with CVT and the factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation. Although the prevalence of FVL-positive patients with CVT ranged from 10% to 25%, it was as low as 0.5% to 3% in the control groups. Most other studies had not systematically searc...

BACKGROUND Many patients with asthma require frequent rescue medication for acute symptoms despite appropriate controller therapies. Thus, determining the most effective relief regimen is important in the management of more severe asthma. This study's objective was to evaluate whether ipratropium bromide/albuterol metered-dose inhaler (CVT-MDI) provides more effective acute relief of bronchospa...

Reducing the availability and uptake of fatty acids is a plausible pharmaceutical target to ameliorate glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. CVT-3619 [2-{6-[((1R,2R)-2-hydroxycyclopentyl) amino]purin-9-yl(4S,5S,2R,3R)-5-[(2-fluorophenylthio)methyl]oxolane-3,4-diol] is a partial A(1) adenosine receptor agonist with antilipolytic properties. Aims of the present study were to examine the acu...
