Do Heat Events Pose a Greater Health Risk for Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes?

Abstract Chronic medical conditions such as type 2 diabetes may alter the body's normal response to heat. Evidence suggests that the local heat loss response of skin blood flow (SkBF) is affected by diabetes-related impairments in both endothelium-dependent and non-endothelium-dependent mechanisms, resulting in lower elevations in SkBF in response to a heat or pharmacological stimulus. [...]

Decreased lactate and potassium levels in natural moisturizing factor from the stratum corneum of mild atopic dermatitis patients are involved with the reduced hydration state.

BACKGROUND: Atopic dermatitis (AD) shows dry skin. Water-soluble, low molecular weight components, collectively known as natural moisturizing factor (NMF), play an important role in maintaining the stratum corneum (SC) hydration. Previous studies focused on reduced levels of free amino acids (FAAs) in NMF from AD skin. It remains unknown, however, whether other NMF components are [...]

SODIUM BICARBONATE-BASED HYDRATION PREVENTS CONTRAST-INDUCED NEPHROPATHY: A META-ANALYSIS.

BACKGROUND: Contrast-induced nephropathy is the leading cause of in-hospital acute renal failure. This side effect of contrast agents leads to increased morbidity, mortality, and health costs. Ensuring adequate hydration prior to contrast exposure is highly effective at preventing this complication, although the optimal hydration strategy to prevent contrast-induced nephropathy still remains an unresolved issue. Former [...]

THE VALUE OF HYDRATION AND ACETYLCYSTEINE IN THE PREVENTION OF CONTRAST-INDUCED NEPHROPATHY: A POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC COMPLICATION OF THE PERCUTANEOUS CORONARY INTERVENTIONS

Contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) remains a common complication of coronary angiography. There is no specific treatment once contrast induced acute renal failure develops, and management must be as for any cause of acute tubular necrosis, with the focus on maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance. The best treatment of CIN is prevention. A variety of preventive [...]
