OBJECTIVE To analyze scientific productions about the relationship between HIV and Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). METHOD Integrative literature review in six databases, held in March 2016. "AIDS" and "hypertension" were the keywords used in Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. We found 248 articles and selected 17. The categories formulated ...

S-Adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) hydrolase was purified 25-fold from bakers' yeast by chemical methods and column chromatography. The purified enzyme could readily synthesize SAH from adenosine and homocysteine, but could hydrolyze only negligible amounts of SAH. The purified enzyme showed no activity towards S-adenosylmethionine, methylthioadenosine, or adenosine. Several nucleotides, sulfhydryl c...

S-Adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) is a risk factor for many diseases, including tumor progression and neurodegenerative disease. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that SAH may indirectly enhance the invasion of C6 glioma cells by induction of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) secreted from the murine microglia BV2 cells. We obtained conditioned medium (CM) by incubating BV2 cells with SAH (...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) increases production of vascular extracellular superoxide anion (*O2-). We examined whether overexpression of murine extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) alters SAH-induced cerebral vasospasm, oxidative stress, and neurological outcome. METHODS Mice exhibiting a 2-fold increase in vascular EC-SOD and wild-type (WT) littermates were s...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Unaccustomed strenuous physical exertion can trigger myocardial infarction, but little is known about the mechanisms precipitating subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). METHODS We identified all cases of first-ever SAH among the combined populations (2.8 million) of 4 urban centers in Australia and New Zealand. Information on the type, time, and intensity of exposures in the 2...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating condition. It carries a high mortality rate, with 12% of patients dying before reaching the hospital. Aside from its neurological morbidities, SAH is associated with significant medical complications. Cardiac manifestations are common and can impact morbidity and mortality in SAH patients. This article will discuss the cardiac manifestations of SAH.

We present a patient with a subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) on the computed tomography and electrocardiogram changes compatible with myocardial infarction. SAH is a medical emergency, but it can be initially misdiagnosed. Diagnosis may be delayed due to atypical presentations of SAH and this may endanger the life of the patient. Electrocardiogram abnormalities have been described previously in SA...

RESULTSdDuring the follow-up time of 36,680 person-years (median 9.4 years), 15 patients with type 1 diabetes experienced an aneurysmal or nonaneurysmal SAH, and thus the crude incidence of SAH was 40.9 (95% CI 22.9–67.4) per 100,000 person-years. One patient had a verified aneurysmal SAH, and four patients died suddenly of an SAH, which was most likely caused by an aneurysm. SAHs in 10 out of ...

inequities in health need to be monitored and necessary actions should be taken to reduce them. this study aimed to determine the socioeconomic distribution of self-reported chronic diseases and self-assessed health (sah) in turkey and try to evaluate the determinants of such inequalities in terms of their contributions.cross-sectional data from the turkish health survey conducted during year 2...

INTRODUCTION Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) affects relatively young people and carries a poor prognosis with a case fatality rate of 35%. One of the major systemic complications associated with SAH is acute lung injury (ALI) which occurs in up to one-third of the patients and is associated with poor outcome. ALI in SAH may be predisposed by neurogenic pulmonary edema (NPE) and inflam...
