Can administration of the thyrotropin releasing hormone reduce fatigue in cancer patients?
TRH administration was associated with significant improvement (p < 0.05) in fatigue levels as measured by the Visual Analog Scale-Energy (VAS-E), was associated with significant (p < 0.05) improvement in sleep disturbances and improved quality of life. , This decrease in CRP level with TRH administration was associate...

Is there any role for long noncoding RNAs in adipogenesis?
Long noncoding RNAs regulate adipogenesis., Here we profiled the transcriptome of primary brown and white adipocytes, preadipocytes, and cultured adipocytes and identified 175 lncRNAs that are specifically regulated during adipogenesis. Many lncRNAs are adipose-enriched, strongly induced during adipogenesis, and bound ...

Is gastro esophageal reflux related to burning mouth syndrome?
Our results suggest that there is no causal connection between LPR episodes and the occurrence of intraoral burning sensations in the examined patients., As reported below, although this symptom may well be diagnostically misleading, careful diagnosis based on clinical signs may distinguish patients with BMS from those...

Is low T3 syndrome a prognostic marker in patients with renal insufficiency?
Low T3 was particularly common (44.3 %), and clearly associated with increased 6- and 12-month mortality and decreased overall survival (log rank test, P=0.007). , Increased rT3 may be more common in ESRD patients than previously described, and together with decreased T3 it may serve as an indicator of poor prognosis i...

Is avanafil indicated for treatment of erectile dysfunction?
CONTEXT: Avanafil (AVA) is used in the treatment of erectile dysfunction, but is reported for its poor aqueous solubility. , BACKGROUND: Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5-Is) sildenafil, vardenafil, tadalafil and the recently approved avanafil represent the first-line choice for both on-demand and chronic treatment ...

Has protein citrullination been implicated in rheumatoid arthritis?
: Citrullination has become a hot topic within recent years due to its involvement in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis and fibrosis. , Current literature suggests that increased levels of citrullinated proteins are found in several if not all inflammatory diseases. , Antibodies directed ag...

Does tremelimumab improve survival of mesothelioma patients?
BACKGROUND: Tremelimumab, an anti-CTLA4 monoclonal antibody, initially showed good activity when used alone in patients with mesothelioma, but did not improve the overall survival of patients who failed on first-line or second-line chemotherapy compared with placebo in the DETERMINE study. , INTERPRETATION: The combina...

Do histone variant mH2A (macro-H2A) levels decrease upon differentiation?
Through manipulation of macroH2A isoforms, we further demonstrate that macroH2A2 is the predominant barrier to reprogramming., In particular, we find macroH2A isoforms to be highly enriched at target genes of the K27me3 demethylase, Utx, which are reactivated early in iPS reprogramming, Therefore, we propose that macr...

Is there any role of the 'Greek islands' in olfactory receptor choice?
Chromatin conformation capture using in situ Hi-C on fluorescence-activated cell-sorted olfactory sensory neurons and their progenitors shows that olfactory receptor gene clusters from 18 chromosomes make specific and robust interchromosomal contacts that increase with differentiation of the cells. These contacts are o...

Can life style changes reduce oxidative stress
The CFS group had an unfavorable lipid profile and signs of oxidative stress induced damage to lipids and proteins. These results might be indicative of early proatherogenic processes in this group of patients who are otherwise at low risk for atherosclerosis. Antioxidant treatment and life style changes are indicated ...
