Vitamins are Indeed Vital Amines: A Discussion of 3 Deficiencies With Neurologic Manifestations.

Optimal functioning of the human nervous system depends on a constant supply of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. In the developed world, nutritional deficiencies are relatively rare and infrequently present with neurologic manifestations. These neurologic disorders can be mistaken for inflammatory and/or autoimmune phenomena.

Presence of arachidonoyl-carnitine is associated with adverse cardiometabolic responses in hypertensive patients treated with atenolol.

Introduction: Atenolol, a commonly prescribed β blocker for hypertension, is also associated with adverse cardiometabolic effects such as hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. Knowledge of the mechanistic underpinnings of these adverse effects of atenolol is incomplete.

Objective: We sought to identify biomarkers associated with risk for these untoward effects of atenolol.

Safety and Efficacy of Atorvastatin in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-infected Children, Adolescents and Young Adults With Hyperlipidemia.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART) have increased prevalence of hyperlipidemia and risk factors for cardiovascular disease. No studies have investigated the efficacy and safety of statins in this population.

Methods: HIV-infected youth 10 to <24 years of age on stable ART with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ≥130 mg/dL for ≥6 months initiated atorvastatin 10 mg once daily.

In vivo quantification of intraventricular hemorrhage in a neonatal piglet model using an EEG-layout based electrical impedance tomography array.

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a common occurrence in the days immediately after premature birth. It has been correlated with outcomes such as periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), cerebral palsy and developmental delay. The causes and evolution of IVH are unclear; it has been associated with fluctuations in blood pressure, damage to the subventricular zone and seizures.
