Clinics. 2024;79C:100330
15
Highlights

  • Obstructive sleep apnea affects one billion people worldwide and is associated with cardiometabolic risk and cognitive impairment.

  • Drug therapy for the management of sleep apnea has been investigated, but no robust evidence that supports its benefits has been found to date.

  • The combination of noradrenergic and antimuscarinic drugs shows promising results.

Reduced HDL-cholesterol in long COVID-19: A key metabolic risk factor tied to disease severity
Jamila Al-Zadjali, Amal Al-Lawati, Nafila Al Riyami, Koukab Al Farsi, Najwa Al Jarradi, Ammar Boudaka, Ali Al Barhoumi, Mohsen Al Lawati, ... Jumana Saleh
Clinics. 2024;79C:100344
9
Highlights

  • Low HDL-C and high ferritin are linked to increased Long-COVID-19 severity.

  • Changes in HDL-C levels, significantly impact Long-COVID-19 progression.

  • Ferritin may exacerbate disease progression by increasing oxidative stress.

  • HDL-C and ferritin levels may serve as markers and therapeutic targets for Long-COVID-19.

Serum procalcitonin as a marker of neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD)
Tao Jiang, Wen-Xian Ouyang, Yan-Fang Tan, Ying Yu, Xiao-Mei Qin, Hai-Yan Luo, Lian Tang, Hui Zhang, Shuang-Jie Li
Clinics. 2024;79C:100383
9
Highlights

  • PCT was a highly sensitive marker to differentiate NICCD from cholestatic hepatitis patients.

  • PCT was reduced when NICCD was treated.

  • PCT is a much more effective marker to differentiate NICCD than the inflammatory markers.

Esketamine alleviates hypoxia/reoxygenation injury of cardiomyocytes by regulating TRPV1 expression and inhibiting intracellular Ca2+ concentration
Ying Zhang, QuanMei Lu, HanChun Hu, ChunChen Yang, QiHong Zhao
Clinics. 2024;79C:100363
9
Highlights

  • ESK treatment can increase H9c2 cell viability and reduce apoptosis and intracellular Ca2+ concentration.

  • CAP treatment decreases H9c2 cell viability and increases apoptosis and intracellular Ca2+ concentration.

  • TRPV1 upregulation decreases H9c2 cell viability and increases cell apoptosis and intracellular Ca2+ concentration.

  • After overexpressing TRPV1, the protective effect of ESK on H/R injury of H9c2 cells is weakened.

Tanshinone IIA alleviates IL-1β-induced chondrocyte apoptosis and inflammation by regulating FBXO11 expression
Jin Xu, XiaoCheng Zhi, YunHui Zhang, Ren Ding
Clinics. 2024;79C:100365
8
Highlights

  • TAN IIA inhibits IL-1β from inducing apoptosis and inflammation in CHON-001 cells.

  • FBXO11 overexpression inhibits the protective effect of TAN IIA on apoptosis and inflammation of CHON-001 cells.

  • Suppressing PI3K/AKT and NF-κB pathways protects against apoptosis and inflammation of CHON-001 cells.

  • TAN IIA treatment improves apoptosis and inflammation of chondrocytes in OA rats.

Carlos Frederico Confort Campos, Clarice Rosa Olivo, Milton de Arruda Martins, Patricia Zen Tempski
Clinics. 2024;79C:100377
7
Highlights

  • • Patient-doctor communication relates to patient satisfaction and perceived empathy.

  • • Patients asking questions was linked to poor satisfaction and empathy perceptions.

  • • Doctor's use of negative communication skills related to worse rapport with patients.

  • • Satisfaction and empathy are positively linked to patient affective expression.

  • • Doctors providing advice/suggestions positively correlated to patient satisfaction.

Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes/Proteobacteria ratios are associated with worse prognosis in a cohort of Latin American patients with cirrhosis
Augusto Mantovani, Larisse Longo, Rutiane Ullmann Thoen, Pabulo Henrique Rampelotto, Raul Salinas, Gabriel Tayguara Silveira Guerreiro, Mário Reis Álvares-da-Silva
Clinics. 2024;79C:100471
7
Highlights

  • Gut Microbiota (GM) has an important role in liver diseases progression.

  • Notable differences in GM and diversity exist between healthy individuals and cirrhosis patients.

  • Changes in GM are associated with an increased risk of mortality within 90 days.

  • Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes/Proteobacteria predict hepatic decompensation and mortality.

Postural balance and functional mobility in relation to BMI and body composition among female students at a College of Applied Medical Sciences: A cross-sectional study
Muneera Mohammed Almurdi
Clinics. 2024;79C:100401
7
Highlights

  • Postural balance was reduced in higher BMI students.

  • BMI was correlated with postural balance but not functional mobility.

  • Body composition was correlated with postural balance but not functional mobility.

  • Exploring the factors that contribute to the disturbance of postural balance and functional mobility is recommended.
