Serial sampling of st2 predicts 90-day mortality following destabilized heart failure

Journal of Cardiac Failure Vol. 14 No. 9 2008 Serial Sampling of ST2 Predicts 90-Day Mortality Following Destabilized Heart Failure SASKIA BOISOT, MD,JENNIFER BEEDE, SUSAN ISAKSON, BS,ALBERT CHIU, BS,PAUL CLOPTON, JAMES JANUZZI, MD,ALAN S. MAISEL, AND ROBERT L. FITZGERALD, PhD, San Diego, California; Boston, Massachusetts Background: To prospectively determine the prognostic utility of serial sampling of the interleukin-1receptor family member, ST2, for predicting 90-day mortality in patients with heart failure (HF) admittedto a Veteran Affairs Medical Center.Methods and Results: A total 150 patients hospitalized with acutely destabilized HF were followed atthe Veteran Affairs Healthcare System in San Diego, CA. Multiple cardiac-related parameters were mea-sured including ST2, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), NT-proBNP, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN).Plasma samples were collected at 6 time points between admission and discharge. Biomarker concentra-tions were correlated to survival at 90 days. Uni- and multivariate analyses were used to identify prognos-tic variables. From admission to discharge, percent change in ST2 was strongly predictive of 90-daymortality: those patients whose ST2 values decreased by 15.5% or more during the study period hada 7% chance of death, whereas patients whose ST2 levels failed to decrease by 15.5% in this time intervalhad a 33% chance of dying.Conclusions: Percent change in ST2 concentrations during acute HF treatment is predictive of 90-daymortality and was independent of BNP or NT-proBNP levels. ST2 may provide clinicians with an addi-tional tool for guiding treatment in patients with acute destabilized HF.

National Health Law Program Good morning. Thank you Dr. Pelegrino and Council members for the opportunity to offer comment this morning on the impact of refusal clauses and institutional restrictions in the delivery of health care services. I am Susan Berke Fogel, J.D. I am an attorney with the National Health Law Program, a national public interest law firm that seeks to improve health care for America's working and unemployed poor, minorities, the elderly and people with disabilities. NHeLP serves legal services programs, community-based organizations, policymakers, the private bar, providers and individuals who work to preserve a health care safety net for the millions of uninsured or underinsured low-income people. We approach refusal clauses and denials of care from this quality and access perspective. We also understand that low-income women and other marginalized populations experience greater health disparities that are exacerbated by restrictions on care. The basic principles of modern health care delivery are evidence-based practice, patient centeredness, and prevention, collectively ensuring quality care. Failure to adhere to prevailing "standards of care" harms the individual patient in real and concrete ways, undermines the medical system, and jeopardizes the health of the general public. These principles may be compromised by a range of structural factors such as lack of insurance, restricted geographic access, cost, language barriers, and immigration status. We are hoping that current political movements will be successful in promoting strategies to address these structural barriers to quality of care. At the same time, health care refusals and denials of care are proliferating in the U.S. based on personal religious and moral beliefs that have nothing to do with scientific evidence, good medical practice or the needs of the patient. These restrictions and denials of care, which most often are related to reproductive health and disproportionately affect women, should be scrutinized to assess their impact on quality health care and redressed when they fall below the standard of care. Analyses of health care denials traditionally construct the issue as a conflict of rights within the provider-patient relationship: the health care provider's right to exercise individual conscience

Das 5. Buch Mose oder TitelDer Titel »Deuteronomium« entstammt einem Übersetzungsfehler des Ausdrucks »Abschrift dieses Gesetzes« in 17,18 aus der gr. Septuaginta (LXX), wo sich die Übersetzung »zweites Gesetz« findet, was in der lateinischen Version (Vulgata) mit Deuteronomium wiedergegeben wurde. Der hebr. Titel des Buches lautet übersetzt: »Dies sind die Worte« und leitet sich von den beiden ersten hebr. Worten des Buches ab. Der hebr. Titel liefert eine bessere Beschreibung des Buches, da es nicht ein »zweites Gesetz« ist, sondern vielmehr eine Aufzeichnung der erklärenden Worte Moses über das Gesetz. Deuteronomium vervollständigt die fünfteilige literarische Einheit, die Pentateuch genannt wird.

Boron Compounds in the Breast Cancer Cells Chemoprevention and Chemotherapy Ion Romulus Scorei Biochemistry Department, University of Craiova, Craiova, Dolj, 1. Introduction Various biological functions of Boron (B) compounds are known (Blevins & Lukaszewski, 1994; Tariq & Mott, 2007; Nielsen, 2008). Boron is found in nuts, vegetables, dried/fresh fruits and red wine (Brown & Shelp, 1997). Boron is also present in bacterial antibiotics, such as tartrolon, borophycin, boromycin and aplasmomycin (Rezanka & Sigler, 2008); in the bacterial quorum sensing molecule auto-inducer AI-2 (Bemd et al., 2002); and in vibrioferrin, a B-containing siderophore produced by particular marine bacteria (Shady et al., 2007). In plants, the rigidity of the cell wall depends on the rhamnogalacturonan II complex (RG-II) formation, a pectic polysaccharide covalently linked by cis-diol bonds to apiosil residues of borate-esters (Ishii & Matsunaga, 1996, 2001). Several articles have provided information about transporters responsible for efficient B uptake by roots, xylem loading and B distribution among leaves. The transporters are required under B limitation for efficient acquisition and utilisation of B. Two types of transporters are involved in these processes: NIPs (nodulin-26-like intrinsic proteins) for boric acid channels and boron exporters encoded by BOR1 (Miwa & Fujiwara, 2010). The expression of the genes encoding these transporters has been shown to be finely regulated in the B availability response to ensure tissue B homeostasis. Furthermore, the tolerance of plants to the stress produced by low B or high B in the environment can be generated by altering the expression of these transporters (Tanaka & Fujiwara, 2007). All of these transporters are involved in boron transport regulation in plants. B is an essential element not only for vascular plants but also for diatoms, cyanobacteria and a number of marine algal flagellate species (Rezanka & Sigler, 2008). Recently, ATR1 has been found to be responsible for the high B tolerance in S. Cerevisiae. ATR1 encodes a multidrug resistance transporter and it is widely distributed in bacteria, archaea and lower eukaryotes (Miwa & Fujiwara, 2010). Animals such as zebra, fish, trout and frogs also require boron (Rowe & Eckert, 1999; Fort et al., 1999). Borate ions activate the mitogen-activated protein kinases pathway and stimulate the growth and the proliferation of human embryonic kidney 293 cells (Park et al., 2005). The B-transporter, NaBCl, controls plasma borate levels in human kidney cells (Park at al., 2004). The fact that B has such a broad range of physiological functions is not surprising. The electron structure of B and its position in the periodic table (adjacent to carbon) make B-containing molecules electrophilic with the trigonal

www.usfitnesstrends.com Fachinformation zu Weight Gainer Konzentraten / Pulver, professioneller Ernährung im Krafttraining, Bodybuilding, Kraftaufbau, Fettabbau, Fettreduktion und Masseaufbau: Weight Gainer Konzentrate/Pulver 500 Kalorien…, 900 Kalorien…, 1300 Kalorien…, 3500 Kalorien…, wer bietet mehr? Der Wettbewerb unter den Weight Gainer Präparaten ist voll entbrannt. Gesucht wird die höchste Kalorienzahl pro Portionsgrösse. Lang ist es her, als Mitte der Siebziger Jahre mit Joe Weider s legendärem Crash Weight Gain No. 7 der erste sogenannte Weight Gainer auf den Kraftsport- und Budybuildingmarkt geworfen wurde. War das Pulverkonzentrat damals noch in drei kg schweren Büchsen abgepackt, so verwendet man/frau heute Plastikbecher oder Beutel von der Grösse Damentasche. Auch die Portionsgrössen haben sich etwas verändert. Der Esslöffel, ehemals Messstab für die Abmessung einer Einzelration, hat ausgedient und wurde durch die Kutterschaufel ersetzt. Denn anders ist es nicht möglich, die vom Hersteller/Verkäufer angegebene, teilweise immensen Kalorienzahlen pro Portion zusammen zu kriegen. So muss der/die Athlet/in z.B. bei einem populärem Weight Gainer mehr als 400 Gramm Pulver (über 10 gehäufte Esslöffel) mit einem halben Liter Vollmilch verrühren, damit die auf dem Etikett ausgewiesenen 2000 kcal pro Shake überhaupt möglich sind. Um nicht falsch verstanden zu werden, Weight Gainer können vielen Kraft- und Ausdauersportlern hilfreiche Zusatzpräparate sein, wie nachfolgend noch ausführlich erörtert wird, nur der eingangs erwähnte Kampf um die höchste Kalorienzahl ist nicht mehr als ein billiger Werbetrick. Eine einfache Rechnung genügt, um zu erkennen, dass die Menge der Kalorien pro Einnahme lediglich dadurch nach oben getrieben wird, dass sich die Portionengrösse erhöht. Das Etikett vieler Weight Gainer verrät nämlich, dass die Kalorienzahl pro 100 Gramm Pulverkonzentrat bei allen Produkten nahezu gleich ist. Da die meisten Weight Gainer kein oder nur sehr wenig Fett enthalten, kann der Brennwert nicht höher als 400 kcal je 100 Gramm Pulver liegen. Sowohl Protein als auch Kohlenhydrate besitzen praktisch die gleiche kcal pro Gramm, nämlich 4,1 kcal. Egal in welchem Verhältnis Protein und Kohlenhydrate in Ihrem Weight Gainer Präparat vorliegen, mehr als 100g dieser beiden Nährstoffe können 100 Gramm Pulver nun einmal nicht beigemischt werden. Multipliziert man das 100 Gramm schwere Protein/Kohlenhydrat Gemisch mit dem Brennwert von 4,1 Kalorien/Gramm, so ergeben sich die angesprochenen 400 Kalorien. Selbst durch die Zugabe einiger Gramm MCT-Öls auf Kosten des Protein-Kohlenhydrat-Gehaltes steigt der Kaloriengehalt pro 100 Gramm nicht signifikant an. Vollmundige Behauptungen wie 2000 Kalorien pro Portion bedeutet in der Praxis, fast ein halbes Kilogramm Pulverkonzentrat in sich hineinzuschaufeln. Die Kalorienzahl kann deshalb für die Auswahl eines guten Weight Gainers nicht als Kriterium herangezogen werden.

Gulf report 4/5/07 09:33 Page 1 a legacy of suspicion Gulf report 4/5/07 09:33 Page 2 Gulf War: a legacy of suspicion "In essence, GWS [Gulf War Syndrome] merely is a convenient descriptive term thatdescribes a phenomenon: GWV [Gulf War veterans] reporting suffering from medicallyunexplained health related symptoms. In the sense, it shares much with the other medicallyunexplained syndromes encountered in practice. The real debate surrounding medicallyunexplained conditions is not whether or not they exist, but defining their cause. In thisregard, investigators fall into two camps. One camp insists that the conditions are causedby a yet-to-be-discovered medical problem, rejecting out of hand the possibility of apsychologic origin. The other camp insists the conditions are fundamentally psychogenic,rejecting the possibility of an undiscovered medical condition. The evidence shows,however, that the conditions exist, the suffering is real, and the causes are unknown."(Gronseth, 2005)

Chapter 2Metastasis and Drug Resistance Dominic Fan, Sun-Jin Kim, Robert L. Langley, and Isaiah J. Fidler Multidrug resistance (MDR) phenotype emerging from chemotherapy is a major problem in managing patients with metastatic cancers. The discovery thata cardiovascular drug, verapamil, can bind to P-glycoprotein and reverse MDR ini-tiated serious research efforts in MDR-reversal by various compounds and modesof pharmacological modifiers. Those include major calcium channel blockers suchas bepridil, diltiazem, felodipine, isradipine, nicardipine, nifedipine and nimodip-ine, verapamil and analogs; calmodulin antagonists; antibiotics and analogs; indolealkaloids; cyclosporins and analogs; hormones and antihormones; pharmaceuticalemulsifying surfactants; liposomal encapsulation; etc. The majority of the studiestargeted one of the MDR mechanisms, P-glycoprotein. These studies have beensuccessful under in vitro and limited in vivo animal conditions; the correlations forclinical trails are still lacking. Therefore, an effective MDR-reversing chemother-apy is not available. It is the purpose of this chapter to review the past and currentexperimental reversal of MDR and, in particular, the importance in targeting drugresistance in relevant cancer metastasis models.
