Consequences of analgesics use in early pregnancy: Results of tests on mice.

2019

International audience; Self-medication during pregnancy continues to be an issue in developing countries due topoor medical education. The most commonly used drugs are analgesics, mainlyacetaminophen (paracetamol, APAP) and, to a lesser extent, ketoprofen (KPF). The aim of thestudy was to establish whether there are consequences of accidental use of these two drugsduring early embryogenesis. The experimental study was performed on 30 pregnant whitemice, divided into three groups: a first group to which APAP was administered, a secondgroup to which KPF was administered, and group 3 as a control group. At delivery, the babymice were examined, and after their first parturition, they were take…

Does the evidence matter in medicine? The retinoblastoma paradigm.

2007

Retinoblastoma (Rb) is the most common intraocular malignant tumour in childhood, with an incidence of 1 in 15,000 live births. Complete information on this rare tumour can be easily accessed through the internet, although many aspect concerning the aetiology and pathogenesis of the disease, are still controversial. The "two hit" theory, formulated in 1971 to explain the variegated clinical expression of the disease, is based on the idea that single gene mutation may determine the development of cancer. However, this view does not take into account the most recent evidences showing the role of aneuploidy and chromosome instability in cancer. Also, a number of other genes and epigenetic mech…

Kalcīts un tā veidošanās apstākļi Franas stāva smilšakmeņos un dolomītos Latvijā

2019

Maģistra darbā “Kalcīts un tā veidošanās apstākļi Franas stāva smilšakmeņos un dolomītos Latvijā” raksturotas kalcīta fizikālās īpašības, ķīmiskais sastāvs un veidošanās apstākļi. Pētījumi veikti 16 Amatas, Pļaviņu, Daugavas un Stipinu svītas atradnēs un atsegumos. Dokumentēti ģeoloģiskie griezumi, pētītas kalcīta fluorescences izpausmes un citas fizikālās īpašības, attiecības ar smilšakmens un dolomīta komponentiem plānslīpējumos, noteikts kalcīta ķīmiskais sastāvs un oglekļa stabilo izotopu attiecības. Secināts, ka kalcīts Amatas svītas smilšakmeņos un Pļaviņu, Daugavas un Stipinu svītas dolomītos kristalizējies līdzīgos apstākļos – no atmosfēras izcelsmes pazemes ūdeņiem sauszemes apstāk…

Brain Opioid Activity and Oxidative Injury: Different Molecular Scenarios Connecting Celiac Disease and Autistic Spectrum Disorder

2020

Celiac Disease (CD) is an immune-mediated disease triggered by the ingestion of wheat gliadin and related prolamins from other cereals, such as barley and rye. Immunity against these cereal-derived proteins is mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by both innate and adaptive system response in individuals unable to adequately digest them. Peptides generated in this condition are absorbed across the gut barrier, which in these patients is characterized by the deregulation of its permeability. Here, we discuss a possible correlation between CD and Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) pathogenesis. ASD can be induced by an excessive and inappropriate brain opioid activity during the neon…

Comparison of Exposure Techniques and Vitality Assessment of Mosses in Active Biomonitoring for Their Suitability in Assessing Heavy Metal Pollution …

2021

The most widespread and used technique is the moss-bag method in active biomonitoring of air pollution using mosses. In the literature, we can find various studies on the standardization of this method, including attempts to standardize treatments and preparation procedures for their universal application. Few works comprehensively focus on other methods or compare other techniques used in active biomonitoring with mosses, especially including measurements of their vital parameters. Our experiment aimed to assess air pollution by selected heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Mn, Fe, and Hg) using three moss species (Pleurozium schreberi, Sphagnum fallax, and Dicranum polysetum) during a 12-week ex…
