Therapeutic Testosterone Administration Preserves Excitatory Synaptic Transmission in t... - 0 views

  • direct androgen receptor activation is not a mutually exclusive requirement of testosterone-mediated neuroprotection.
  • Testosterone treatment after EAE induction restores synaptic transmission and corresponding synaptic protein levels within the hippocampus during EAE
  • A growing body of evidence suggests that testosterone enhances hippocampal synaptogenesis
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • This study demonstrates that testosterone treatment either before or after EAE disease induction partially restores deficits in synaptic transmission, preserves presynaptic and postsynaptic integrity, and prevents hippocampal pathology.
  • treatment with a pregnancy estrogen, estriol, can prevent deficits in excitatory synaptic transmission in the hippocampus during EAE
  • testosterone is important to the maintenance of normal synaptic spine density in the hippocampus
  • estriol treatment was also capable of preserving levels of synaptic proteins that are known to orchestrate functional synaptic transmission within the hippocampus.
  • Estriol is a therapeutic candidate in MS because it has widespread effects on the immune system and the CNS
  • MS patients have significantly decreased relapse rates during the third trimester of pregnancy, when estriol levels are most elevated, and relapse rates rebound during the postpartum period coinciding with an abrupt decline in serum estriol levels
  • In nonpregnant MS patients, estriol treatment has been shown to significantly reduce gadolinium-enhancing lesion number and volumes measured by MRI
  •  
    Testosterone restores/preserves nerve synapsis within the hippocampus in autoimmune demyelinating disease.  Testosterone appears to have neuroprotection.  The authors conclude that the majority of the protective effect was through aromatase activity.

Differential Effects of Dehydroepiandrosterone and Testosterone in Prostate and Colon C... - 0 views

  • Several studies indicate that DHEA may enhance cancer-promoting activities in several prostate cancer cell lines acting as agonist or antagonist for the intracellular AR
  • the estrogenic metabolites of DHEA, 5a-androstane-3b, 17b-diol (3b-Adiol) and E2 bind to estrogen receptors but not to AR
  • no specific receptor has been identified for DHEA
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Different members of neurotrophins are expressed during cancer progression, suggesting their involvement in cell proliferation, anoikis protection, and malignancy
  • Regulation of the apoptotic machinery in prostate and colon cancer cells by testosterone occurs rapidly and is initiated at the plasma membrane level through specific membrane-binding sites not involving the classical cytoplasmic AR
  • testosterone exerts potent regulatory effects on prostate and colon cancer cell apoptosis
  • Testosterone increased cell death in a dose-dependent manner
  • testosterone antagonizes the prosurvival effects of DHEA in neuronal cells, blocking its binding to NGF receptors
  • treatment of cells with DHEA exerted a strong antiapoptotic effect,
  • Androgens hold a central role in prostate and colon cancer biology
  • elevated levels of DHEA or its sulfate ester DHEA-sulfate in young adults are associated to low incidence of androgen-dependent tumors
  • DHEA may play a protective role in young prostate
  • The decline of DHEA with aging may contribute to prostate cancer progression associated with advanced age
  • DHEA is an effective antiapoptotic factor, reversing the serum deprivation-induced apoptosis in prostate cancer cells (DU145 and LNCaP cell lines) as well as in colon cancer cells
  • NGF appears to exert similar antiapoptotic actions in both prostate and color cancer cells
  • exposure of prostate DU145 and colon Caco2 cancer cells to testosterone totally blocked the protective effects of both DHEA and NGF. These findings suggest that testosterone acts as an antagonist of DHEA and NGF
  • These findings support the hypothesis that testosterone may inhibit cancer cell growth by antagonizing the proliferative, antiapoptotic effects of endogenous factors, such as DHEA or NGF, in the case of prostate and colon cancer cells
  • intratumor hormonal microenvironment may play a critical role in tumor progression.
  • The paracrine interactions of androgens with locally produced NGF may define tumor cell fate

Cervical Collar Hard Adjustable With Chin - 0 views

  •  
    The soft cervical collar is constructed of foam rubber and covered with a stockinette material. Normally, the closure is achieved with Velcro. Depending on the patient's pathology and body structure, physician and/or orthotist will determine the proper height of the collar. When worn, the soft cervical collar is a reminder to keep in head and neck in a restricted position. It is the mildest design of cervical immobilization. Cervical collars are applied to blunt trauma patients all the time. And most of the time, the neck is fine. It's just those few patients that have fracture or ligamentous injury that really need it. The Cervical Collar provides firm, comfortable support which helps to relieve neck discomfort while providing extra support. Cervical Collar has a convenient hook and loop closure which allows the unit to be adjusted for a proper fit. The Cervical Collar is constructed of soft, porous cotton cover for comfort which is over polyfoam for the best support. Cervical collars are an orthotic device used primarily in the treatment of neck injuries and strains. The most common use of cervical collars is during recovery after surgery on the cervical spine. They are also used in whiplash injuries and conditions like Cervical Radiculopathy, which is caused by the nerves in the neck compressing due to herniated disks in the spinal cord. The main function of the cervical collar is to immobilize the neck and hold it in a gravity-neutral position Tynor Cervical Collar Hard Adjustable is used for supporting, immobilizing or adjusting the neck in the flexion, extension, or hyperextension position. Recommended where a rigid immobilization of the cervical region is required. Anatomical shape. Comfortable edge padding. Adjustable height. Slight weight. Latex free. The soft cervical collar is not designed to completely restrict motion. It depends on providing resistance to movement, which tells the patient to restrict their movements. The soft collar i

Now Awake Spinal Fusion Surgery In India - 0 views

  •  
    Any manner that calls for access to the spinal nerves, vertebrae, and discs involves transferring the muscle tissue. Advances in minimally invasive surgery for spinal fusion surgery have supposed there is less tissue dilation and muscle dissection. Specifically, with minimally invasive spine surgical operation, small incisions can allow access for instruments or microscopic cameras, in place of the conventional long incision.
