Autoimmune chronic thyroiditis on chronic hemodialysis.

Pathophysiology of chronic renal

Chronic renal failure (CRF) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are functional diagnoses characterised by a progressive decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). CRF occurs where GFR has been reduced to 10% of normal function (20 ml min) and ESRD when GFR falls below 5% (10 ml min). In 2002, approximately 37,000 patients received renal replacement therapy in the UK for ESRD. Of these, about ...

Cortical pathophysiology of chronic pain.

Studies in my laboratory have been employing multiple non-invasive brain imaging techniques to study the characteristics of patients with chronic pain. Some of these results are briefly outlined in this communication. Our studies regarding brain activity in chronic pain are summarized, emphasizing the unique role of the prefrontal cortex in chronic, especially neuropathic pain states. I also re...

Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis and thyroid cancer.

La relación entre la tiroiditis crónica autoinmunitaria y el linfoma de tiroides tipo linfoma de tejido linfoide asociado a mucosa (MALT) es conocida. En cambio, su relación con los cánceres del epitelio folicular del tiroides, tales como el carcinoma papilar, desde hace mucho tiempo ha sido y sigue siendo objeto de controversia, ya que además el concepto de inflamación crónica que da lugar a n...

Effect of Centella asiatica on pathophysiology of mild chronic cerebral hypoperfusion in rats

Centella asiatica extract on cognition and hippocampal pathology of mild chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) that was induced by permanent right common carotid artery occlusion (RCO) in rats. Materials and Methods: Sixty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups of Sham-veh, Sham-C. asiatica, RCO-veh and RCO-C. asiatica, which were further divided into short-term and...
