Background: Acute Heart Failure (HF) is related to a significant hospital mortality rate and functional impairment in many patients. However, there is still a lack of studies that support the use of Beta-blockers (BB) in the management of decompensated HF.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact on mortality of maintaining BB in patients with decompensated HF.
Immunological impact of tetrahydrobiopterin on the central nervous system in a murine model of rabies virus infection.
Rev Inst Med Trop Sao Paulo
April 2021
Article Synopsis
- The Milwaukee protocol shows promise in treating rabies, but the mechanisms of drug action and immune response require further study.
- Biopterin, a drug used in the protocol, helps regulate nitric oxide levels, which is crucial in preventing blood vessel spasms.
- In experiments on animals infected with rabies, biopterin influenced inflammatory factors and helped manage the immune response, particularly concerning the blood-brain barrier and cytotoxic cell movement.
A blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a cutaneous lymphoma derived from a plasmacytoid dendritic precursor cell that exhibits aggressive clinical behavior. Herein, we report a 46-year-old woman with a complaint of a painless nodule on the back, associated with pruritus. The nodule grew and new growths appeared over six months of evolution.
