Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how dark deprivation influences liver health and circadian rhythms when exposed to carbon tetrachloride (CCl), a known hepatotoxic agent.
- While much is known about CCl's effects on the liver, research on its impact within the context of circadian rhythms is limited, and many studies focus on isolated periods rather than the overall rhythm.
- Findings suggest that dark deprivation leads to more severe structural and functional liver changes due to reduced melatonin levels, indicating the need for further research on the role of melatonin in these processes.
Article Synopsis
- * Anthracyclines, particularly doxorubicin, are effective in fighting tumors but can cause serious heart damage, known as cardiotoxicity.
- * Understanding how doxorubicin affects heart function is essential for creating new protective strategies against its harmful impacts on the cardiovascular system.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an idiopathic, autoimmune connective tissue disorder that primarily affects the synovial joints, causing symmetric, erosive-deforming polyarthritis. It is also associated with extra-articular manifestations, particularly cardiovascular (CV) diseases (CVD). CV risk modification in RA remains unsolved despite recent advances in the management of RA.

There is a common point between COVID-19 and systemic amyloidosis regarding the multiorgan involvement in the pathological process which leads to a heightened risk for severe morbidity and mortality in amyloidosis patients who contracted COVID-19. We performed a pathomorphological analysis of the autopsy records of 22 patients who had COVID-19 and pre-existing systemic amyloidosis.

Among these, cardiovascular complications are responsible for an incredible burden of mortality and morbidity in Western Countries. The study of the pathological mechanisms responsible for the cardiovascular complications in DM patients is key for the development of new therapeutic strategies.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBarrett's esophagus (BE) is a premalignant lesion that can develop into esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). The development of Barrett's esophagus is caused by biliary reflux, which causes extensive mutagenesis in the stem cells of the epithelium in the distal esophagus and gastro-esophageal junction. Other possible cellular origins of BE include the stem cells of the mucosal esophageal glands and their ducts, the stem cells of the stomach, residual embryonic cells and circulating bone marrow stem cells.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Serrated colorectal lesions are a group of colonic lesions with a serrated (saw-tooth) profile of the surface epithelium and crypts, and peculiar molecular and genetic developmental mechanisms that are incompletely understood. These formations cause concern due to their premalignant potential.
Aim: The review is dedicated to serrated lesions of colon and appendix.
