This document provides information about gadolinium litigation organized by the law firm Anapol Schwartz. It discusses nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, a disease caused by gadolinium-based contrast agents used in MRI scans. It summarizes the symptoms of NSF and reviews published literature on the topic. It also discusses strategies for case selection and rejection criteria for those affected by NSF seeking legal representation.
For 30yrs, the medical field has regarded gadolinium (MRI contrast agent) is safe and biologically inert. New studies suggest call this into question. Learn the risks and how you can protect yourself.
ABSTRACT- Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited hematological disorder that causes red blood cells to break down continuously. This leads to a rigid, sickle like shape under certain conditions, causing polymerization of the sickled hemoglobin. This study was undertaken to know whether sex hormones (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone and prolactin) exert any effect on the polymerization of sickle cell erythrocytes in vitro and the possibility of these hormones having an effect on the sickling phenomenon. The hemoglobin polymerization test was carried out when hemoglobin S undergoes gelation after it was deprived of oxygen using 2% sodium metabisulphite as reductant. The polymerization inhibition studies were shown that estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and not prolactin had a statistical significant reduction effect (P<0.05) on the polymerization of the sickle cell erythrocytes. The polymerization of the sickle cell erythrocytes was reduced to 50.90%, 62.74%, 67.56% and 92.16% at the concentration of 50.0 pg/ml of estrogen, 5.0 ng/ml of progesterone, 6.0 ng/ml of testosterone and 7.0 ng/ml of prolactin in the same order. This effect was achieved at a low concentration of these hormones. Higher concentrations of the hormones increased polymerization. The result suggests that using the hormones substances at low concentrations can help to ameliorate the intracellular polymerization of sickle cell hemoglobin.

Age plays a pivotal role in the deterioration of cardiovascular functionality, resulting in an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in older adults. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease has also been shown to increase with age, in both men and women, including the prevalence of atherosclerosis, stroke and, myocardial infarction.
Following myocardial infarction (MI), the left ventricle (LV) undergoes a series of cardiac wound healing responses that involve both the stimulation of robust inflammation to clear necrotic myocytes and tissue debris and the induction of extracellular matrix (ECM) protein synthesis to generate an infarct scar. Collectively, this process in known as LV remodeling. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is a key regulator of LV remodeling post-MI, through direct effects on ECM turnover as well as indirect effects on the regulation of the major cell types that coordinate cardiac wound healing- namely the infiltrating leukocytes and the cardiac fibroblasts. We will discuss recent research that has expanded our understanding of MI LV remodeling, including recent proteomic advances focused on the ECM compartment to provide novel functional and translational insights. In summary, this webinar will provide an overview of how cardiac ECM research has evolved over the last decade and will provide insight into future directions that will drive further understanding of MMP directed cardiac ECM turnover after MI.

Resuscitation after Injury Attenuates Plasma-Mediated Endothelial Barrier Dys...Arthur Stem
Severely injured patients are prone to developing coagulopathy, organ failure, and infection. All these sequelae of injury are partly attributed to the loss of vascular endothelial barrier integrity. Prior work from our group has demonstrated that plasma from trauma patients induces endothelial barrier breakdown in vitro. However, the temporal changes in vascular permeability after injury, especially with resuscitation, remain unknown.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
