Immunological Parameters in Patients Suffering from Atopic Dermatitis and Either Treated or Non-Treated with Dupilumab
CONCLUSION: We demonstrated the difference in the count of white blood cells populations in patients suffering from AD compared with healthy control. There were a differences in the expression of immunoregulatory molecules CD23 and CD200 on B cells in AD patients (either with or without dupilumab therapy) in comparison to healthy controls.PMID:37930093 | DOI:10.14712/18059694.2023.15 (Source: Acta Medica: Hradec Kralove)

Evaluation of Diurnal Changes of Mental Fatigue Using a New Portable Device for Visual Cognitive Evoked Potentials
Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove). 2023;66(2):55-60. doi: 10.14712/18059694.2023.16.ABSTRACTIn the age homogenous group of 13 healthy volunteers, we examined visual evoked potentials (VEP) visually evoked cognitive potentials (event-related potentials - ERP) and choice reaction time (CRT) five times during the day (from 10.00 a.m. up to midnight) to verify whether there are significant changes of the measured parameters of the cortical evoked potentials and CRT which might reflect the level of the mental fatigue. The electrophysiological testing was done with the use of a new portable VEP device named "VEPpeak" enabling to perf...

Associations of Serum Total Homocysteine Levels with Various Demographic, Clinical and Genetic Characteristics in Healthy Greek Adults
CONCLUSIONS: Serum tHcy levels are influenced by the existence of MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism (mainly 677TT genotype), serum folate and Cbl levels. Individuals with hyperhomocysteinemia should be further investigated for the existence of MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism, with the aim to determine the suitable treatment.PMID:37930095 | DOI:10.14712/18059694.2023.17 (Source: Acta Medica: Hradec Kralove)

COVID-19 Can Unveil Brugada: A Rare Case
Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove). 2023;66(2):68-71. doi: 10.14712/18059694.2023.18.ABSTRACTBrugada syndrome (BRS) is a channelopathy with three characteristic electrocardiogram patterns and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD), in the absence of gross structural heart disease. Fever is shown to precipitate ventricular arrhythmias in patients with BRS. Here, we report a rare case of Brugada pattern in a patient with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) without fever. A baseline ECG should be considered for patients with COVID-19, even in the absence of fever. COVID-19 by itself may be a factor that can induce Brugada ...
