Differences in Serum Zn Levels in Acutely Ill and Recovered Adolescents and Young Adults with Anorexia Nervosa - A Pilot Study
Preliminary evidence suggests that changes in zinc (Zn) metabolism are associated with anorexia nervosa (AN). However, data are scarce regarding potential differences in serum Zn concentrations in adolescent and young adult patients with AN. It was the aim of the present pilot study to compare serum Zn concentrations between acutely ill and remitted adolescent and young adult female patients with AN and female controls. Zn concentrations were higher in remitted compared with acutely ill patients. Zn concentrations were also higher in remitted patients compared with controls, but there was no significant difference in Zn concentrations between acutely ill patients and controls. The present s…
Nickel release after implantation of the Amplatzer occluder.
Background Transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects is a new and less traumatic technique than open heart surgery. In recent years, patients with a patent foramen ovale sustaining potential paradoxical embolism have also become candidates for interventional closure devices. One of the more popular occluding devices is the Amplatzer septal occluder, which, like many other occluders, is made of nitinol. Nitinol-based alloys are widely used in medical products, for example, in orthopedics and orthodontics. However, the clinical use of nitinol, which contains 55% nickel, is still controversial because of concerns about its biocompatibility. Therefore, we examined the systemic nickel relea…
