the aims of this study were to determine some major biochemical alterations observed in first calving cows with udder edema during the periparturient period and to detect some associations between dietary factors and the disease. for that, the concentrations of some electrolytes (na+, k+, cl, ca2+, p and mg2+), lipid (triglycerides and cholesterol) markers and lipoproteins (hdl, ldl and vldl) a...

Sex differences in the prevalence or severity of many diseases and in the response to pharmacological agents are well recognized. Elucidating the biologic bases of these differences can advance our understanding of the pathophysiology of disease and facilitate the development of treatments. Despite the importance to medicine, this has been an area of limited research. Here, we review physiologi...

Reversible interactions of glycoconjugates on leukocytes with P- and E-selectin on endothelial cells mediate tethering and rolling of leukocytes in inflamed vascular beds, the first step in their recruitment to sites of injury. Although selectin ligands on hematopoietic precursors have been identified, here we review evidence that PSGL-1, CD44, and ESL-1 on mature leukocytes are physiologic gly...

FOR HKM Heat-related illnesses encompass disorders ranging from minor syndromes to lifethreatening emergencies. The number of children suffering from heat-related illness is increasing. Because of physiologic differences and unique behavioral characteristics, children are at high risk for suffering heat-related illnesses. This article reviews physiologic responses to heat stress and highlights ...

Physiologic changes, including neurological or pseudo-neurological symptoms, occur across identity states in dissociative identity disorder DID) and can be objectively measured. The idea that dissociative phenomena might be associated with changes in brain function is consistent with research on the brain effects of hypnosis. The authors report a case of psycho-physiologic differences among 4 a...

This study aimed to provide physiologic health risk parameters by gender and age among college students enrolled in a U.S. Midwestern University to promote chronic disease prevention and ameliorate health. A total of 2615 college students between 18 and 25 years old were recruited annually using a series of cross-sectional designs during the spring semester over an 8-year period. Physiologic pa...
