CRTh2 (chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells) is a marker for Th2 cells and activation through CRTh2 stimulates expression of cytokines that are important for allergic responses such as IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13. We have observed CRTh2+ T cells express the IL-25 receptor...

THE EFFECT OF β-FRUCTANS ON INTESTINAL PERMEABILITY IN PATIENTS WITH ULCERATIVE COLITIS IN CLINICAL REMISSION
DownloadFall 2023
Introduction: β-fructans are non-digestible fermentable carbohydrates that are metabolized by commensal gut bacteria such as Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and Roseburia spp. By-products of β-fructans fermentation include short-chain fatty acids, shown to improve intestinal epithelial integrity and...

The effects of low altitude on isolated mammalian arteries, intact murine circulation, and as a therapy for myocardial infarction and hindlimb ischemia in mice
DownloadFall 2019
Humans residing at low and moderate altitudes (500 m - 3000 m above sea level) have a lower risk of dying from many cardiovascular diseases in comparison to sea level residents [1-3]. We hypothesized the lowered barometric pressure at these altitudes enhances vasodilation in the systemic...

The Impact Of Colonization by Multi Drug Resistant Bacteria on Graft Survival, Risk of Infection, and Mortality in Recipients of Solid Organ Transplant: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
DownloadFall 2023
Background: Colonization with multi-drug resistant bacteria (MDR) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients increases the risk of post-transplant bacterial infection. The impact of MDR colonization on graft survival and mortality is not well established. Methods: We searched PROSPERO, OVID...
