Bone disease following liver transplant
Liver transplant is now well established in the management of chronic terminal hepatopathy. With the follow up of these patients, we are getting to know pathologies derived from their earlier diseases and those from the organ transplant, among which are those produced by the immunosuppression (cyclosporine, FK506, sirolimus, glucocorticoids) necessary for their treatment. Among these complicati...
متن کاملAlterations in liver and thyroid function tests in patients with lead poisoning
Background: Exposure to lead, damages vital organs and is now a global concern. Toxic effects of lead on the liver and thyroid gland have been mentioned previously, sometimes with conflicting results. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess changes in liver and thyroid function tests in patients with lead poisoning. Methods: This case-control study was performed on 100 patients with clini...
متن کاملGut Microbial Alterations Associated With Protection From Autoimmune Uveitis
PURPOSE To investigate the contribution of the gut microbiota to the pathogenesis of uveitis. METHODS Experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) in B10.RIII mice was induced using interphotoreceptor binding protein peptide. Mice were treated with oral or intraperitoneal (IP) antibiotics. Effector (Teff) and regulatory (Treg) T lymphocytes were identified using flow cytometry; 16S rRNA gene sequenc...
متن کاملMaturation State and Function of Monocyte Derived Dendritic Cells in Liver Transplant Recipients
Background: Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent antigen presenting cells for triggering of the immune reaction post transplantation. These cells are centrally involved in the initiation of T cell-dependent immune responses. Objective: To compare the level of DC maturation and function in liver transplant recipients with healthy controls. Methods: In this study, twelve peripheral blood samples we...
متن کاملAlterations in neuromuscular function following thermal injury.
Severe burn injury can result in dramatic changes in human physiology and biochemistry. Aberrant responses, hypersensitivity and potentially lethal hyperkalemia to depolarising [1,2] and hyposensitivity to non-depolarising [2,3] muscle relaxants have been noted in burn trauma. The molecular basis of these responses is currently thought to be due to an increase in nicotinic acetylcholine recepto...
