CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS CAN AFFECT ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION IN ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSIVES: ACROSS SECTIONAL CASE-CONTROL STUDY
Objective: Endothelial dysfunction is now recognized as an early, perhaps initiating event in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the present study was to examine the influence of cardiac risk factors on endothelial function in essential hypertension (EH)
Hemophagocytic Syndrome Associated with Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome in a Patient with AIDS Related Burkitt's Leukemia/Lymphoma
Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has markedly decreased human immunodeficiency virus-(HIV-) related mortality and the incidence of opportunistic infections. The dramatic reduction in HIV-1 RNA and increase in CD4 lymphocyte count mean a recovery in immune function. This restoration in immune function may be associated with paradoxical deterioration in subclinical opportunistic infections in some patients, a condition called immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). IRIS, a "paradoxical" inflammatory response to either previously treated or subclinical infections or noninfectious diseases, can manifest during the restoration phase of immunity hemophagocytic syndrome (HS) which is a very rare complication in patients with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). We describe a case of hemophagocytic syndrome associated with IRIS in a patient with AIDS related Burkitt's leukemia/lymphoma (BL). IRIS was probably the cause of hemophagocytosis for our patient. Zoster infection may facilitate to IRIS. With the increasing number of people with HIV infection and the accompanying use of HAART, much more clinical manifestations of IRIS will be experienced especially in patients given high dose chemotherapy, just like in our case
Clinical and pathological characteristics and their effect on survival in elderly patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors
Purpose: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are common tumors of the gastrointestinal tract. Their most frequent location is the stomach. Although the clinical and pathological characteristics of the disease are well-known, the clinical and pathological characteristics and the response to treatment are not clear in elderly patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of GISTs in elderly patients with an aim at improving the therapeutic methodology and survival
