Efficient Gene Suppression in Dorsal Root Ganglia and Spinal Cord Using Adeno-Associated Virus Vectors Encoding Short-Hairpin RNA.
Abstract: RNA interference is a powerful tool used to induce loss-of-function phenotypes through post-transcriptional gene silencing. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules have been used to target the central nervous system (CNS) and are expected...
Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Inflammasome Signaling after Traumatic Brain Injury.
Abstract: Neuroinflammation plays an important role in secondary tissue damage after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Recently, the inflammasome-mediated inflammatory pathway has been observed in the inflammatory response of TBI. In this study, we...
Chromoendoscopy with a Standard-Resolution Colonoscope for Evaluation of Rectal Aberrant Crypt Foci.
Abstract: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of death worldwide. According to the theory by Vogelstein, colorectal carcinogenesis involves a series of successive changes in the normal colonic mucosa, starting with excessive...
Clinical Trial – Intraumbilical Amino Acids and Glucose Supplementation Via Port by Severe IUGR in Human Fetuses
Placental insufficiency is responsible for fetal loss in about 40% of all stillbirths and
long term neurological deficits. The mean interval from diagnosis of brain sparing of severe
IUGR fetuses to delivery has been recently identified by only seven days (Flood K et al, Am J
Obstetrics and Gynecology 2014).
The critical placental player in the active amino acids (AA) transport from the mother to the
fetus is the trophoblast, which is irreversibly changed in severe IUGR fetuses caused by
placental insufficiency. Thus, a logical partial solution of IUGR could be the direct supply
of AAs and glucose to the fetus, in order to improve the fetal growth, normalize the fetal
programming and to prolong the pregnancy.
The aim of this prospective pilot study is to further test the efficacy of the administration
of AAs and glucose supplementation with hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO), via a subcutaneously
implanted intraumbilical perinatal port system, as a treatment option for severe IUGR human
fetuses with brain sparing.
What’s new in wound treatment: a critical appraisal.
Abstract: With the growing demand for the specialized care of wounds, there is an ever expanding abundance of wound care modalities available. It is difficult to identify which products or devices enhance wound healing, and thus, a critical and...

The diabetic foot in 2015: an overview.
Abstract: In 2015, it can be said that the diabetic foot is no longer the Cinderella of diabetic complications. Thirty years ago there was little evidence-based research taking place on the diabetic foot, and there were no international meetings...
[Toxins of Clostridium perfringens as a natural and bioterroristic threats].
Abstract: Clostridium perfringens is absolutely anaerobic rod-shaped, sporeforming bacterium. The morbidity is connected with producing toxins. Depending on the type of toxin produced Clostridium perfringens can be divided into five serotypes:A-E....
