Influence of continuous positive airway pressure treatment on auditory event-related potentials p300
Acta Clin Croat. 2022 Nov;61(3):373-378. doi: 10.20471/acc.2022.61.03.01.ABSTRACTObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder characterized by obstructions of the upper airway during sleep, resulting in repetitive breathing pauses accompanied by oxygen desaturation and arousal from sleep. OSA can be successfully treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), weight loss, positional therapy, oral appliances, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, and surgical procedures. It has been observed that untreated OSA is related to chronic disorders including hypertension, arrhythmias, congestive heart fail...

7 Myths About Cholesterol, Debunked
You may not recall every lab value from your last physical, but you probably remember one: Your cholesterol level.
If it’s higher than ideal, you’re not alone. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, between 2015 and 2018, almost 12% of U.S. adults ages 20 and up had high total cholesterol, defined as above 240 mg/dL. The type that physicians mostly worry about is LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol, which is one component of that total.
Why do doctors care so much about cholesterol? First, “it predicts risk,” says Dr. Jeffrey Berger, a cardiologist and director of the C...

Haematoloechus sp. attachment shifts endothelium in vivo from pro- to anti-inflammatory profile in Rana pipiens: evidence from systemic and capillary physiology
Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol. 2023 Jun 5. doi: 10.1152/ajpregu.00041.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis prospective, descriptive study focused on lung flukes (Haematoloechus sp., H) and their impact on systemic and individual capillary variables measured in pithed Rana pipiens, a long-standing model for studies of capillary physiology. Three groups were identified based on H attachment: no Haematoloechus (No H), Haematoloechus not attached (H Not Att), and Haematoloechus attached (H Att). Among 38 descriptive, cardiovascular, and immunological variables, 18 changed significantly with H. Symptoms of H includ...

Amino acid solution mitigates hypothermia response and intestinal damage following exertional heat stroke in male mice
Exertional heat stroke (EHS) is a debilitating and potentially fatal condition for which few prevention strategies exist. These results suggest that a 5AAS improves Tc regulation during EHS recovery through maintaining mucosal function and integrity and that protecting the GI tract during EHS may be beneficial in some of the health consequences of EHS exposure. AbstractIncreased gut permeability is implicated in the initiation and extent of the cytokine inflammatory response associated with exertional heat stroke (EHS). The primary objective of this study was to determine if a five amino acid oral rehydration solution (5AA...

Inflammation May Be the Culprit Behind Our Deadliest Diseases
In the early days of my medical residency, I met a man whom we’ll call Jason. He arrived to our emergency room on a holiday, nonchalant yet amiable, and complained of mild chest pain. Jason was tall and trim, with a strong South Boston accent and fingertips still faintly stained from his last home-improvement project. He was only 45 years old, but he looked much younger. He didn’t smoke, barely drank alcohol, and his cholesterol levels had always been normal. No one in his family had a history of heart disease. He asked us if we could work quickly—he wanted to be home for dinner with his daughters.

Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
CONCLUSIONS: Patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease have markedly increased risk of cardiovascular events, including myocardial infarction, stroke, heart failure, and cardiovascular death. However, until recently, there were few cardiovascular outcome studies that targeted enrollment specifically to those patients. Certain drugs now have shown benefits to cardiovascular end points in this population.PMID:37029538 | DOI:10.1177/10600280231165774
