  • Bacterial Diseases
CONT

Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is caused by a highly invasive group A streptococcal infection and is associated with shock and organ failure.

CONT

Initial symptoms of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome(STSS) are usually flu-like and may include fever, chills, malaise, vomiting, nausea, and muscle aches. Approximately 24-48 hours after symptom onset, an infected individual' s blood pressure can drop with symptoms progressing to sepsis with hypotension(low blood pressure), tachycardia(faster than normal heart rate), tachypnea(rapid breathing), and organ failure.

Le SGA [streptocoque du groupe A] peut aussi parfois être à l'origine d'infections invasives (IISGA) sévères de type septicémie ou dermohypodermite nécrosante (DHN) pouvant se compliquer par un syndrome de choc toxique streptococcique (SCTS).

CONT

Les premiers symptômes de syndrome de choc toxique streptococcique (SCTS) ressemblent généralement à ceux de la grippe : fièvre, frissons, malaises, vomissements, nausées et des douleurs musculaires. Environ de 24 à 48 heures après l'apparition des symptômes, la pression artérielle d'une personne infectée peut chuter et les symptômes évoluer vers une septicémie avec hypotension (pression artérielle basse), tachycardie (rythme cardiaque plus rapide que la normale), tachypnée (respiration rapide) et une défaillance d'organe.

  • Hygiene and Health
CONT

Body roundness index (BRI) is [an] anthropometric index developed to predict both body fat and the percentage of visceral adipose tissue.

CONT

Body roundness index(BRI) might be a more accurate measurement than body mass index(BMI) for predicting weight-related health risks... BMI has long been the standard to classify a person's body weight as too low, normal, overweight, or obese. While BMI often reflects a person's body fat amount, it doesn’t account for fat distribution or the amount of muscle mass.... BRI addresses these shortcomings by focusing on a person's height, waist size, and hip size. By taking weight out of the equation, BRI provides a better indicator of how much belly fat(visceral fat) surrounds the organs inside the abdomen. High amounts of belly fat are linked to high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.

As the name suggests, a multiple-compartment PK [pharmacokinetic] model consists of a central compartment and one or several peripheral compartments, though the compartments do not represent specific anatomical or physiological structures. In general, the central compartment represents plasma(or blood) with or without richly perfused tissues, such as heart, liver, brain, etc.,... and the peripheral compartments represent slowly or less perfused tissues, such as skin, muscle, bone and fat.... In a two-compartment model... upon administration, a substance is introduced into the central compartment that is followed by its distribution between the central and a peripheral compartment; however, equilibration of the concentration of the substance between the two compartments is not anticipated to be achieved instantaneously. Once equilibration is reached, the elimination of the substance is assumed to occur from the central compartment.

Ach receptors at these sites and the effects of parasympathetic stimulation at these sites are termed "muscarinic.

With the information gained from the EMC model we began to look for other viruses that might induce diabetes in mice, particularly those viruses that also infect human beings.

They can cause upper-respiratory distress and muscle pain and can infect the heart and brain. Soon after the discovery of the Coxsackie viruses Gilbert Dalldorf... and A. M. Pappenheimer... found that infection of mice with members of the virus group designated Coxsackie B caused severe destruction of the acinar cells in the pancreas but spared the adjoining islet of Langerhans.

Restrictive cardiomyopathy(RCM) is a rare form of heart muscle disease that is characterized by restrictive filling of the ventricles. In this disease the contractile function(squeeze) of the heart and wall thicknesses are usually normal, but the relaxation or filling phase of the heart is very abnormal. This occurs because the heart muscle is stiff and poorly compliant and does not allow the ventricular chambers to fill with blood normally. This inability to relax and fill with blood results in a “back up” of blood into the atria(top chambers of the heart), lungs and body causing the symptoms and signs of heart failure.

It has been dubbed the ‘silent killer’ because a person may have hypertension but he may not experience any symptoms that would alert him to his condition until serious damage is done to the organs.

CONT

Chronic hypertension is a "silent" condition. Stealthy as a cat, it can cause blood vessel changes in the back of the eye(retina), abnormal thickening of the heart muscle, kidney failure, and brain damage.

CONT

It is widely believed that the development of sustained hypertension is the result of impaired ability of the kidneys to properly excrete sodium and water.

Coronary stents. Stents are used in coronary ’revascularization’ or ’angioplasty’ procedures. These procedures are sometimes referred to as PCI [or] percutaneous coronary interventions.... Stents are stainless steel or nytinol mesh like devices that look similar to the spring in a pen. [They] are delivered into the coronary artery on a catheter during a PCI procedure. They are then "deployed" in the artery by either expansion by a balloon or by a unique "self-expanding" delivery design. They serve as a scaffold to prop the inside of the artery(the lumen) open which increases blood flow to the heart muscle.

A secondary novel technology to which the Company has exclusive rights is that of antibody-targeted liposomes. This technology involves the incorporation of an antimyosin antibody into liposome membranes that serves to target the immunoliposome to cytoskeletal protein exposed by cellular membrane lesions. Upon anchoring the liposome to the cell via the antibody the liposome presumably fuses with the cell membrane and repairs the lesion. In vitro and animal model studies have shown that this methodology has been able to preserve cell and tissue viability under anoxic/ischemic conditions. This technology may be able to limit the extent of heart muscle damage during heart attacks and myocarditis.
