Background: The objective of this observational study was to determine whether there is an association between extubation success and uric acid in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients with mechanical ventilation admitted to the intensive care units, and identify the risk markers for extubation success in COPD patients with mechanical ventilation.
Methods: Consecutive COPD patients with intubation were screened at baseline. The study included patients on mechanical ventilation (MV) for over 12 hours and who, in the process of weaning, were subjected to low-level pressure support.
Background And Aims: The objective of this observational study was to determine whether there is an association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and uric acid and to identify the risk markers for AF in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
Methods: Consecutive patients with newly diagnosed OSA were screened at baseline. The final study population consisted of 516 patients.
Glial-cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) has been shown to protect dopaminergic (DA) neurons against 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) toxicity. The mechanism underlying the antiapoptosis role of GDNF still needs further studies. We previously observed that nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, i.
