MITOCHONDRIAL DAMAGE-ASSOCIATED MOLECULAR PATTERNS AS POTENTIAL BIOMARKERS IN DCD HEART TRANSPLANTATION: LESSONS FROM MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND CARDIAC ARREST

Mitochondrial Damage-associated Molecular Patterns as Potential Biomarkers in DCD Heart Transplantation: Lessons From Myocardial Infarction and Cardiac Arrest

Heart transplantation with donation after circulatory death (DCD) has become a real option to increase graft availability.However, given that DCD organs are exposed to the potentially damaging conditions of warm ischemia before procurement, new strategies for graft evaluation are of particular value for the safe expansion of DCD heart transplantati

A qualitative study to identify thematic areas for HIV related patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) and patient-reported experience measures (PREM)

Abstract Background The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) and patient-reported experience measures (PREM) provide health providers with valuable feedback on how to improve clinical care and patient outcomes.This paper describes a qualitative study that was conducted to learn about factors influencing the well-being of people living wi

Overproduction of the cyanobacterial hydrogenase and selection of a mutant thriving on urea, as a possible step towards the future production of hydrogen coupled with water treatment.

Using a combination of various types of genetic manipulations (promoter replacement and gene cloning in replicating plasmid expression vector), we have overproduced the complex hydrogenase enzyme in the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803.This new strain overproduces all twelve following proteins: HoxEFUYH (hydrogen production), HoxW (matura
