winter Olympic Games, Russian athletes were caught abusing HIF activators.22Normally, the HIF pathway is activated upon hypoxic conditions. Thus, the end result would be to stimulate EPO synthesis in order to restore the normal oxygen levels in the blood and to enhance angiogenesis. Giving exogenous HIF activators can imitate hypoxic conditions which leads to the…

Under the surface, macrophages remove neutrophils and the remaining clot. Then, capillaries grow from the blood vessels around the wound and vascularize that area. All of this is part of fibrosis, in which the clot is…

Chondroblastoma was first described in detail by codman in 1931 and so is occasionally referred to as codman’s tumo r. Chondroblastoma was first described as calcified giant cell tumor by Ewing.11 Chondroblastoma constitutes a very rare bone tumor entity.2,6 In most cases it manifests between 10 to 20 years. Chondroblastoma are typically centered in an epiphysis. Although they occur most often in the end of a major tubular bone, they can appear in any secondary center of ossification, such…

laminitis. The hoof wall is made up of an interlinked outer insensitive layer (horn) supported by an underlying inner sensitive layer (laminae). In laminitis, the blood flow to the laminae is affected, resulting in inflammation and swelling in the tissues within the hoof, and severe pain. As the laminae are starved of oxygen and nutrient rich blood, the cells become damaged. Unless the…

patients who experience failure and require dialysis support .This nomenclature explains that renal failure occur as a continuum 1. AKIN recently defined AKI as “ functional or structural abnormalities or markers of kidney damage including abnormality in blood, urine or tissue tests or imaging studies present for < 3 months.”2 A large trial by Uchino et al.3, on the epidemiology and outcome of AKI in critically ill adult patients reported an overall mortality…

Sildenafil is a very important chemical, which was first described in order to treat the condition of pulmonary arterial hypertension. It was able to relax the arteries and help them carry more blood. The same function was found to be of great help to patients suffering from erectile dysfunction.
