SourceGastroenterology, Lahey Clinic Medical Center, 41 Mall Road, Burlington, MA 01805, USA. Chad.M.***@**** Abstract Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is an incompletely understood phenomenon and serves as a poor prognosis in patients with cirrhosis. Confusion from HE can affect the ability to eat adequately.

Brain MRI negative. Cervical - diffuse enlargement of the cervical cord w/possible focal areas of enhancement @ c4-c5. Thoracic-diffuse enlargement w/multiple foci of abn T2 signal. Lumbar puncture.

Avatar m tn One, you are building lean muscle mass from running and that weights more than fat so it will look like you are not losing weight. The other is that Glutamine is a protein. Any nutrient (carbs, protein, and fats) intake that is increased and the body does not use it, it is stored in the body as fat. Suggest you start measuring your body instead of using a weight scale. You will become trimmer, clothes fitting looser, without really losing weight due to increased lean muscle mass.
Avatar f tn Hello, Summary, I have been diagnosed with MS in 1993, then a syrinx found (i.e, other possible cause) which never grew and a huge attack in 2000 (brain MRI with lesions and history of Optic neuritis, 2 sets of SSEPs 4 years apart both abnormal and median abnormal above syrinx site which had shrunk and finally spinal tap which previously only showed elevated lymphs now had elevated Igg synthesis and index (apparently elevated 10X lab normal).
Avatar m tn s PEMT biosynthetic pathway relies on three successive methylations of ethanolamine, a precursor lipid for PC synthesis. HCV also alter the methothioadenosine pathway which is totally SAMe dependent.
Avatar n tn My 85 year old father has CHF. Previously had quad bypass and valve repair, prostate cancer, bladder cancer and mult. myaloma. All cancers have been in remission for years. Recently despite low salt diet he continues to retain fluid. Since Jan. we've had to hospitalize him 3 times to get fuid off. He is 5'9' 185 lbs and is very deconditioned....not able to do anything. Tomorrow he is getting a pleurovac. Neph wants to try dobutamine infusion, card.
Avatar m tn «The virus counterattacks by producing a small protein, called the X protein, whose function is destroy Smc5/6. It has the ability to bring this restriction factor to a part of the cell that acts as a trash can, and gets rid of it.» With Smc5/6 gone, new viral particles can then be produced to infect neighbouring cells.
Avatar m tn Scientists reveal that high levels of the protein T-bet are prevalent in patients who successfully fight off the hepatitis virus (pictured). A single protein may tip the balance between ridding the body of a dangerous virus and enduring life-long chronic infection, according to a report appearing in the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
1139187 tn?1355706647 Had every test known to mankind. All negative except the protein synthesis with electrofusion, they are doing a bone marrow check in weds. Everything else was fine.. Full blood and smear done. Any ideas? Feel like rap all the time. Terrible back pain, ear ringing.
Avatar m tn The effect of dietary protein restriction on kidney disease is the subject of debate. If you have hypertension, diabetes, or coronary disease, it is important that you control these to prevent further deterioration of your kidney function. smoking cessation and adequate nutrition are also important. It would be good to check for proteins in your urine and know the glomerular filtration rate to assess the degree of kidney function impairment. ( http://www.aafp.org/afp/20041115/1921.
Avatar f tn Although very minor amounts of selenium appear sufficient for adequate activity of deiodinases, thus limiting the impact of its potential deficiency on synthesis of thyroid hormones, selenium status appears to have an impact on the development of thyroid pathologies. The value of selenium supplementation in autoimmune thyroid disorders has been emphasized.
Avatar m tn Expression of one of these proteins (2’5’ oligo A synthase) results in activation of the second of these proteins (a ribonuclease) which can break down mRNA, and expression of the third protein (a protein kinase) results in inhibition of the initiation step of protein synthesis. These activities target viral protein synthesis, but also result in inhibition of host protein synthesis.
Avatar m tn Hi, I just received my liver function test and am concerned. I am a social drinker who has no more than 2 glasses of wine maybe 4x a week (no hard liquor). My test results were GGT 105; ALT 154: AST 80...What does this indicate? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/234245'>slightly elevated alt � ast</a>.
Avatar f tn 5 well defined gamma restriction bands are observed in CSF with additional identical gamma restriction bands in CSF and serum. This is indicative of intra-cerebral as well as systemic synthesis of gammaglobulins. This finding may be associated with Guillian-Barre syndrome, peripheral neuropathy or increased blood-brain barrier permeability. The results should be interpreted in conjunction with all clinical and laboratory data pertaining to this patient.
Avatar m tn In Total liver Function Laboratory Blood Test results (Alanine Amino Transferase Serum) conducted for Total Liver Function shows presence of low ALT or low SGPT levels of 14 . This result is quite below the range limits specified in the lab. test report which is between 17-63 .. Please intimate what will happen if it further reduces in the ALT levels and how to increase the ALT levels or how to come out from this problem . * Is it relates to early death of a person ?.
Avatar n tn Why was it suggested? Who suggested it to you? This supplement seems like it's designed for bodybuilders. It's not regulated by the FDA, so a pharmacist may not have information on contraindications. Still, a call to your Copaxone pharmacy as well as your PCP are in order.
Avatar m tn Report indications increased signal intensity in left frontal cortex - small area of remote infarction. No evidence of diffusion restriction to define area of acute infarction. What does this mean?
Avatar f tn They rely a great deal on their sense of smell, anyway. And without a doubt she relies on the love and trust she feels with you.
