Honey Enriched with Additives Alleviates Behavioral, Oxidative Stress, and Brain Alterations Induced by Heavy Metals and Imidacloprid in Zebrafish.

Environmental concerns have consistently been a focal point for the scientific community. Pollution is a critical ecological issue that poses significant threats to human health and agricultural production. Contamination with heavy metals and pesticides is a considerable concern, a threat to the environment, and warrants special attention.

The Lipid Profile and Biochemical Parameters of COPD Patients in Relation to Smoking Status.

Tobacco consumption is the most incriminated and studied risk factor for Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but other factors such as air pollution, are also linked to this disease. One of the known aspects of this chronic lung disease is that its occurrence is mainly due to the chronic inflammation of the airways. Lipid metabolism seems to be affected by smoking, with studies showing a correlation between this habit and high levels of triglycerides and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-CHOL).

Thymus pathology in myasthenia gravis with anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies and concomitant Hashimoto's thyroiditis. A four-case series and literature review.

Objective: Identifying the morphological features of thymus in patients with myasthenia gravis (MG) with anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies and concomitant Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), which were recruited from a single surgical unit of a tertiary referral hospital located in the North-Eastern region of Romania, over a period of 11 years.

Patients, Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed clinical, imaging, laboratory, thymic pathology, and outcome data that were obtained from medical records of patients with MG and concomitant HT, to whom a thymectomy was performed for a suspected thymic lesion. All the surgical interventions were done in the Third Clinic of Surgery, St.

Nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis in an ulcerative colitis patient - a putative adverse reaction to mesalazine: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Lung and airway involvement in inflammatory bowel disease are increasingly frequently reported either as an extraintestinal manifestation or as an adverse effect of therapy.

Case Summary: We report a case of a patient with ulcerative colitis controlled under mesalazine treatment who presented with chronic cough and hemoptysis. Chest computed tomography and bronchoscopy findings supported tracheal involvement in ulcerative colitis; pathology examination demonstrated an unusual eosinophil-rich inflammatory pattern, and together with clinical data, a nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis diagnosis was formulated.

Impact of the Tobacco Treatment Guidelines for High Risk Groups (TOB.g): A pilot study among physicians specializing in CVD, Diabetes and COPD.

Introduction: The 2017 Tobacco Cessation Guidelines for High-risk Groups (TOB-G) is a comprehensive document on best practices for smoking cessation in clinical practice. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess physician satisfaction and changes in tobacco-related knowledge, self-efficacy and attitudes following exposure to training in the TOB-G guidelines for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or diabetes.

Methods: A pre-post pilot study was conducted.

Longer survival of a patient with glioblastoma resected with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-guided surgery and foreign body reaction to polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture.

In recent years, there is a growing evidence that using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA)-guided resection of a cerebral glioblastoma, associated with chemoradiotherapy determine a prolonged survival of these patients, even though this period do not exceed 15 months. 5-ALA is a natural biochemical precursor of heme that is metabolized to fluorescent porphyrins, particularly protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) and no foreign reaction were noted until now. However, foreign body reaction developing in neurosurgery is documented in a few number of cases to suture material, surgical hemostatic material, or surgical glove starch, but up to now we could not find any article about granulomatous inflammation to polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture after brain tumor resection.

A 16-year retrospective study of dacryocystitis in adult patients in the Moldavia Region, Romania.

Purpose: Chronic dacryocystitis (CD) is an inflammation of the lacrimal sac and nasolacrimal duct with a long-standing evolution. The aims of this study were to analyze the epidemiology and to evaluate the histopathological features and the chronic inflammation score (CIS) system of chronic dacryocystitis in the region of Moldavia, Romania, over a period of 16 years.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective descriptive analysis of all pathological reports of chronic dacryocystitis from the Department of Pathology, "Prof.

ASSESSMENT OF ADVERSE DRUG REACTIONS AS CARDIOVASCULAR RISK FACTORS.

Unlabelled: A wide range of pharmaceutical substances can induce side-effects expressed as cardiovascular changes or events, adding to other risk factors or worsening preexisting cardiovascular diseases.

Aim: Continuous study focused on iatrogenic conditions representing cardiovascular risk factors.

Methods: We developed a descriptive study of patients admitted to the Iasi Vth Internal Medicine and Geriatrics-Gerontology Clinic between 1998-2013, focusing on iatrogenic conditions representing cardiovascular risk factors.

[Depression and cardiovascular diseases in the elderly].

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to reveal if there are connections between depression and cardiovascular disease.

Material And Method: We have studied 413 patients from Jorasti, Jud Galati on a two-years period (2008-2010). On these patients there was performed a careful history taking and they were physically examined (height, weight, body mass index, waist, blood pressure, heart rate).

[Dislypidemia as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease].

Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to evaluate dislypidemias as risk factor in the countryside.

Material And Method: There have been evaluated 413 patients from the countryside (Jorăşti, Galaţi County), in the period 2008-2010. There was performed history taking, physical examination, an ECG and biological findings (glycemia, colesterolemia, HDL-colesterolemia, trygliceridemia, creatinenemia).

[Clinical epidemiologic study of 277 patients with gallstones, treated at the Gastroenterology Unit of the Emergency Hospital of Bacau County, in 2006-2008].

A sample of 277 cases admitted for gallstones was studied between September 2006 and August 2008. The purpose of the study was the investigation of gallstones with or without other pathologies, which have a connection with gallbladder diseases. Paraclinical investigations were necessary to monitor the diagnosis and complications.
