Cerebrovascular prevalence is high in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, whether racial disparities exist among this population have not been systematically explored.We performed a retrospective study to...
Previous research has shown an association between moderate workload exercise blood pressure (BP) and coronary disease, whereas maximal exercise BP is associated with stroke. We aimed to investigate the association between the...
Is increased alcohol intake in different phases of the menstrual cycle associated with fecundability in women?Heavy intake (>6 drinks/week) of alcoholic beverages in the luteal phase and ovulatory subphase was associated with...
Respiratory fungal exposure is known to be associated with various allergic pulmonary disorders. Eosinophils have been implicated in tissue homeostasis of allergic inflammation as both destructive effector cells and immune...
Asthma is one of the most common respiratory diseases. Lack of response or poor adherence to corticosteroids demands the development of new drug candidates for asthma. Endogenous nucleosides could be potential options since...
Chemokines are important mediators in immune cell recruitment, contributing to allergy development. However, extensive studies of chemokines in the circulation in relation to the presence and development of allergic diseases...
The small GTPase RhoA and its downstream effectors are critical regulators in the pathophysiological pro¬cesses of asthma. The underlying mechanism, however, remains undetermined. Here, we generated asthma mouse model with RhoA...
To review the literature and discuss a hypothesis as to why most people do not become allergic. This hypothesis is dependent upon three main components. (1) Airborne allergens (for example from pollen or mites) are weak antigens...
Anterograde homodigital neurovascular island flaps are very useful for reconstructing proximal fingertip amputations with exposed bone but have the disadvantage of bringing about proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ) stiffness....
Inner city children are disproportionately affected by asthma and sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). However, little is known about the association SDB symptoms with asthma morbidity in this vulnerable population.Assess the...
Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) exposure have been associated with obesity and related comorbidities, possibly through disrupting signaling pathways of adipokines. Both leptin and adiponectin can modulate...
The aim: The objective of the study was to analyze the frequency of Arg16Gly polymorphism in the β2 -adrenoceptor (β2 -АR) gene in patients with bronchial asthma (BA) and to assess the association of the polymorphism with BA...
