background and aims: plant certification programs need reliable, fast, cheap and sensitive methods for detection of systemic pathogens with special interest in virus and viroid detection. reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) has been documented as an alternative assay for certification of plant propagating materials. the main object of the present study was the optimization ...

Almost half of cancer patients experience cachexia syndrome. Cachexic patients are at risk of increased side effects of chemotherapy, reduced tolerance to chemotherapy drugs, longer duration of treatment period, and decreased quality of life. Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome. Micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA), a “non-coding RNA”, is considered to be a risk factor of cachexia and muscle...

Diabetes mellitus, pathoglycemia, dyslipidemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver, overweight, hypertension, and atherosclerosis are common diseases endangering human health. Cachexia is a life-threatening disease condition. associated with increased mortality. Cancer patients cachexia less tolerant have decreased response to chemotherapy radiation. Do these pathogenesis? We will discuss the commonalit...

Abstract Introduction Cachexia is a progressively debilitating loss of skeletal muscle often seen in late-stage chronic medical diseases, such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and liver cirrhosis. contributes to mortality morbidity with reduced quality-of-life (QoL) treatment options, can be associated adult-onset hypogonadism (AOH), which commonly treated testosterone...

Cachexia is a serious, however underestimated and underrecognised medical consequence of malignant cancer, chronic heart failure (CHF), chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, infectious diseases, and many other chronic illnesses. The prevalence of cachexia is high, ranging from 5% to 15% in CHF or C...

Anorexia-cachexia is a progressive wasting condition that commonly affects people in the advanced stages of diseases such as cancer and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). It is described by loss of appetite (anorexia) and loss of weight (cachexia).The word “anorexia” comes from the Greek word orexis (meaning “appetite”), literally translating to “without appetite”. The word “cachexia” ...

Cachexia is a complex syndrome that combines weight loss, lipolysis, loss of muscle and visceral protein, anorexia, chronic nausea, and weakness. Severe cachexia occurs in most patients with advanced cancer or AIDS. This article covers approaches to cachexia other than treatment of the underlying disease. In those patients who are eligible for tumouricidal treatment, cachexia may resolve as the...

BACKGROUND Cancer-associated wasting, termed cancer cachexia, has a profound effect on the morbidity and mortality of cancer patients but remains difficult to recognize and diagnose. While increases in circulating levels of a number of inflammatory cytokines have been associated with cancer cachexia, these associations were generally made in patients with advanced disease and thus may be associ...

BACKGROUND Surveys using traditional measures of nutritional status indicate that muscle wasting is common among persons with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Up to 75% of adults undergoing maintenance dialysis show some evidence of muscle wasting. ESKD is associated with an increase in inflammatory cytokines and can result in cachexia, with the loss of muscle and fat stores. At present, only l...
