Article Synopsis
- A 67-year-old man who was bedridden developed severe pneumonia and empyema from infections caused by bacteria that usually live in the mouth.
- Diagnosing his condition was tough using regular tests, but advanced sequencing methods found the specific bacteria causing the infection.
- After being treated with medication, the man's breathing problems got better, showing that the new testing method is really helpful in finding out what's wrong when regular tests don't work.
Background: The effects of omega-3 fatty acid on cardiovascular health obtained inconsistent results. A systematic review and meta-analysis were therefore conducted to assess the effects of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation for primary and secondary prevention strategies of major cardiovascular outcomes.
Methods: The databases of PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library were systematically searched from their inception until September 2020.
Background: Many studies have suggested that visfatin expression is closely related to the occurrence of insulin resistance (IR), while the precise role of visfatin in the regulation of IR in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is not clear.
Methods: We investigated fasting glucose, fasting insulin (FINS), C peptide, visfatin, visfatin mRNA, interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, C-reactive protein (CRP) and other parameters of 315 patients with CHC and 150 control cases in China. Meanwhile we collected clinical and other laboratory data for further analysis.
