Journal ArticleDOI

Oxidative stress, nitric oxide, and diabetes.

TL;DR: The role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction is discussed, which are the two most relevant mechanisms inThe pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, and in the Pathogenesis of diabetic vascular complications, the leading cause of death in diabetic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) mutations database: review of the "old" and update of the new mutations.

TL;DR: The G6PD mutations database is updated, including all the last discovered G6 PD genetic variants, and some additional information is included for each mutation, such as: the secondary structure and the enzyme 3D position involving by mutation, the creation or abolition of a restriction site (with the enzyme involved) and the conservation score associated with each amino acid position.
Journal ArticleDOI

Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 as a Vascular Protective Factor

TL;DR: An alternative possibility, however, is that IGF-1 initiates a survival pathway aimed at compensating local vascular cell apoptosis (see section III.C.3) to assess the possible benefits of lowering IGF- 1 levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early prediction of postthyroidectomy hypocalcemia by one single iPTH measurement.

TL;DR: One single iPTH measurement reliably can predict, early after thyroidectomy, which patients are prone to clinically relevant postoperative hypocalcemia and necessitate supplementation treatment andWhich patients are eligible for a safe early discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parathyroid hormone levels 4 hours after surgery do not accurately predict post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia.

TL;DR: Subnormal 4h-iPTH levels alone did not accurately predict clinically relevant postoperative hypocalcemia, and the optimal cut-off level and its integration with preoperative and postoperative serum calcium concentrations should be reconsidered.
