Sentences with phrase «ischaemic injury»

Several trials have demonstrated that the cardiomyocytes of rodents maintained on IER become more resilient to ischaemic injury induced by occlusion of the left coronary artery 18, 21, 29, which translated into improved long - term survival following such injury in one study.21 In addition, within these studies, associations have been found between the cardiovascular improvements and markers of oxidative stress 24, 30, inflammatory responses 18, 24, 29, 30 and increases in circulating levels of adiponectin.29 Collectively, these reported changes in biochemical and physiological cardiovascular risk factors would be expected to suppress atherosclerotic development and preserve cardiovascular health.

Also noted by IER studies are an increase in the expression levels of silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1 (SIRT1), an NAD + - dependent deacetylase.20 The expression of SIRT1, also increased by prolonged ER in rodents, is linked to the up - regulation of cellular stress resistance and improved outcomes in animal models of metabolic, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases.106, 107These findings have been suggestively accompanied by improvements in resilience to disease progression in rodent models of Type 1 diabetic nephropathy 20, survival following induced ischaemic injury 21 and a reduction in oxidative stress.105

Cardiac troponins are traditionally used to diagnose acute ischaemic injury and confirm that a patient had a heart attack.

Not exact matches

Cardiac function assessment for heart failure, coronary angiography for ischaemic heart disease and Holter ECG monitoring for lethal arrhythmias can identify the type of myocardial injury and help physicians select a prophylactic therapeutic strategy against sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients.»

Overall, the research found that the most common type of condition that contributed to brain injuries was damage caused by lack of oxygen to the brain, called hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy; this is seen mainly in full term babies.

Ischemic colitis (Ischaemic Colitis — British English) is a medical condition in which inflammation and injury of the large intestine result from inadequate blood supply.
