During an inflammatory process, shift in the cellular metabolism is associated with an increase in extracellular acidification largely attributed to lactate. This review analyzes recent advances regarding the pleiotropic effects of lactate on inflammation, suggesting it could exert differential effects depending on the metabolic status, cell type, and pathological process. Lactate modulates signaling pathways via various targets, including G-protein coupled receptors and transcription factors such as NF kB and HIF-1, influencing the expression of cytokines, chemokines, and enzymes associated with immune response.
This comprehensive clinical guideline outlines strong and conditional recommendations for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, covering fracture risk assessment, intervention thresholds, non-pharmacological management, specific pharmacological options (including bisphosphonates and denosumab), and strategies for managing patients with high fracture risk or receiving specific therapies (e.g., glucocorticoids, aromatase inhibitors).
The series Practical Guides in Radiation Oncology is designed to assist radiation oncology residents and practicing radiation oncologists in the application of current techniques in radiation oncology and day-to-day management in clinical practice, i.e., treatment planning. Individual volumes offer clear guidance on contouring in different cancers and present treatment recommendations, including with regard to advanced options such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
A detailed analysis of the Cross Cylinder (CC) lens, including its composition (equal plus/minus cylinders at right angles) and its primary uses in subjective refraction. The document outlines the specific step-by-step methods for refining both the cylindrical axis (straddle technique) and the cylindrical power by interpreting patient preference during the flipping procedure.
This edition focuses on the use and benefits of local anesthesia in various surgical fields, particularly plastic surgery. It includes articles detailing select procedures (such as breast reductions, abdominoplasties, and face lifts) performed without general anesthesia, discussing efficiency, quality of care standards, and cost economics in ambulatory surgical facilities.
A specialized textbook focusing on comprehensive illustrated principles and clinical techniques in pediatric dentistry, edited by leading experts in the field.
A summative multiple-choice examination designed for second-year medical students, testing core knowledge in metabolic pathways (e.g., pentose phosphate pathway, fatty acid oxidation, protein turnover), energy balance, nutrient utilization, and the role of various biochemical compounds in diet and health.
This issue of NeoReviews provides clinical updates and research articles concerning neonatology, focusing on topics such as genetic diagnosis in neonates with congenital anomalies, the changing global landscape of neonatal resuscitation, and the application of virtual reality simulation in neonatal resuscitation training programs. Also includes Complex Fetal Care and Visual Diagnosis sections.
A comprehensive textbook covering the foundational knowledge of the eye, including embryology, anatomy, physiology of vision, refractive errors, pathology of the cornea, uveal tract, retina, glaucoma, injuries, and general therapeutics.
An analysis of the critical role of oxygenation during airway management. The text discusses the factors influencing the Duration of Apnea Without Desaturation (DAWD) and emphasizes the importance and methodology of preoxygenation to maximize oxygen reserves and prevent desaturation during apnea.
