EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractChasing the Fat Demon: Fat Chance, Buddy?David L. Katz, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtScience is an interesting profession. At times, one could get caught up in his or her own world of thoughts, perception, far away from reality, sometimes referred to as the proverbial ivory tower (Lederberg, 1972). Science for the sake of science is, per se, not without merit, with our fragmented understanding of a given issue providing ample justification for experimentation … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 29 May 2017 · 8,134 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSome Morphologic Features of Heart Failure with Different EtiologyDmitrij Arkadievich OleynikovDilated Cardiomyopathy (DCM) and Chronical Degenerative Valvular Disease (CDVD) are very common in dogs nowadays. However, due to modern level in oncology we can meet chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathies more often. We have lack of information about pathogenic mechanisms underlying doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy (DoxCM) and features differentiating it from CDVD and DCM. The study population consisted of 46 dogs of different age, sex … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 20 May 2017 · 7,330 accessesView PDF Cite

However, due to modern level in oncology we can meet chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathies more often. We have lack of information about pathogenic mechanisms underlying Doxorubicin-induced Cardiomyopathy (DoxCM) and features differentiating it from CDVD and DCM. In this study we investigate several metabolic features of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2017 · 7,172 accessesView PDF Cite

Clinical ProcedureOpen accessIn the abstractThe Ruggiero-Klinghardt (RK) Protocol for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Conditions with Particular Focus on Lyme DiseaseDietrich Klinghardt, Marco RuggieroHere we describe the Ruggiero-Klinghardt (RK) Protocol that is based on integration of Autonomic Response Testing (ART) with diagnostic ultrasonography and on application of therapeutic ultrasounds; the latter are used as a provocation tool and as an instrument to optimize drug uptake and utilization in specific areas of the body. This protocol consists of a precise sequence of diagnostic and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 8 Mar 2017 · 37,244 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractWhere the Future is Being Made TodayMark A. Brown, Joachim Storsberg, Christian SchmidtGrowing up, I was fascinated by The Muppet Show and the adventures of Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his assistant Beaker. Apparently, my feelings were not unique because Muppet characters are used to ease tensions associated with education about clinical interventions (Ramsay, 2014; Rohn, 2007). Yet the opening phrase 'Where the future is being made today' has, in my opinion, summed … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2016 · 7,425 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDrug-Protein Interactions for Clinical Research by Nucleic Acid Programmable Protein Arrays-Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Factor Monitoring Nanoconductometric AssayClaudio Nicolini, Rosanna Spera, Nicola Luigi Bragazzi, Eugenia PechkovaConductometric monitoring of drug-gene and drug-protein interactions is of fundamental importance in the field of molecular pharmacology. Here, we present our main findings and characterizations of an important antiblastic used in neuro-oncology (Temozolomide), interacting with selected proteins that represent predictive biomarkers of the rate survival of the patients, of the outcome of chemotherapy and resistance to drug itself (namely, BRIP1 … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 17 Nov 2014 · 8,506 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunofluorometrical Exploring of Cortisol Hormone Levels in the Serum of Patients with Histologically Verified Microcellular Lung CancerIvan MilosevicIt is already known in the science that the cells of microcellular lung cancer can produce ACTH. By following the levels of Cortisol as one consequence of ACTH producing, in the serum of microcellular lung cancer patients, we could make some statistical conclusions how significant these levels would be in eventual future early diagnostic procedures, besides already existing tumormarkers etc. … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 7,177 accessesView PDF Cite
