Sensitivity of endoscopic ultrasound, multidetector computed tomography, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in the diagnosis of pancreas divisum by Azar, Riad R.

“…Results: The sensitivity of EUS for pancreas divisum was 86.7%, significantly higher than the sensitivity reported in the medical records for MDCT (15.5%) or MRCP (60%) (P < 0.001 for each). On review by expert radiologists, the sensitivity of MDCT increased to 83.3% in cases where the pancreatic duct was visualized, with fair IOA ([kappa] = 0.34). …”

Subsarcolemmal cAMP signals monitored by cyclic nucleotide gated channels in hypertrophied cardiac myocytes by Abi-Gerges, Aniella

“…In an attempt to address this question, 3 weeks-old rats were subjected to aortic coarctation (H) or sham operated (S). 5 weeks after surgery, the mass of the left ventricle to tibia length ratio was 59% increased in the H group compared to the S group while the right ventricle mass to tibia length ratio was unchanged, attesting compensated hypertrophy of the heart in H rats. …”

Resveratrol-Elicited PKC Inhibition Counteracts NOX-Mediated Endothelial to Mesenchymal Transition in Human Retinal Endothelial Cells Exposed to High Glucose by Roberta Giordo (299595)

“…Here, we investigate whether EndMT is implicated in the diabetic retinopathy fibrotic process and evaluate the possibility that resveratrol could counteract EndMT by inhibiting high glucose (HG)-induced increases in ROS. Primary Human Retinal Endothelial Cells (HRECs) were either pre-treated for 24 h with 1 µM resveratrol or left untreated, then glucose (30 mM) was applied at 3-day intervals for 10 days. qRT-PCR and ELISA were used to detect mRNA or protein expression of endothelial markers (CD31, CDH5, vWF) or mesenchymal markers (VIM, αSMA and collagen I), respectively. …”
