(2017-09-05)INTRODUCTION: Acute gout occurs in people with chronic kidney disease, who are commonly older people with comorbidities such as hypertension, heart disease and diabetes. Potentially harmful treatments are administered to ... -
Fitness in contemporary dance: a systematic review.
(2009-07)It has been suggested that dancers are less fit compared to other athletes. However, the majority of studies make their arguments based on data deriving mainly from ballet. Therefore, the aim of the current review was to ... -
Generation of Recombinant Monoclonal Antibodies from Single B Cells Isolated from Synovial Tissue of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients.
(Humana Press, 2018-08-24)Ectopic lymphoid structure (ELS) can form in the target tissues of patients with chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Although it is still not clear why ... -
Genetic Factors of the Disease Course after Sepsis: A Genome-Wide Study for 28Day Mortality.
(2016-10)Sepsis is the dysregulated host response to an infection which leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction that varies by host genomic factors. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 740 adult septic patients ... -
The glucose transporter 2 regulates CD8+ T cell function via environment sensing.
(2023-11)T cell activation is associated with a profound and rapid metabolic response to meet increased energy demands for cell division, differentiation and development of effector function. Glucose uptake and engagement of the ... -
