(MDPI, 2021)Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are highly prevalent non-communicable diseases worldwide. Periodontitis may act as a non-traditional cardiovascular risk (CVR) factor, linked by a low-grade systemic inflammation mediated by ...
-
(BMC, 2020)Background Systemic inflammation may play a role in shaping breast composition, one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer. Pubertal development presents a critical window of breast tissue susceptibility to exogenous ...

(Sociedad Medica de Santiago, 2016)© 2016, Sociedad Medica de Santiago. All rights reserved. Background: Metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent among adults in Chile and represents a health risk. Aim: To determine the relationship between metabolic syndrome ...
-
(2007)Background: The main causes of complications of allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are infections and graft versus host disease. Aim: To assess the predictive value of C reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin ...
-
(2012)Background: Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have elevated serum levels of ultrasensitive C reactive protein (CRPus). This raise may be related directly to COPD and its associated systemic ...
-
(2006)Background: Acute pyelonephritis in children can leave a kidney scar that eventually can lead to hypertension or renal failure. 99mTc-dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scintigraphy (RC DMSA) is a widely accepted technique ...
-
(2012)Background: The pharmacological action of metformin goes beyond mere glycemic control, decreasing markers of inflammation and contributing to the reduction of oxidative stress. Aim: To evaluate biochemical, anthropometric ...
-
(Elsevier Inc., 2019)Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess whether apical lesions are associated with inflammatory serum markers of cardiovascular risk, especially high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), in young adults. ...
-
(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2012-01)Background: The etiology of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is heterogeneous and still under discussion. Inflammation increases during exacerbation of COPD. The identification of ...

(Blackwell, 2018)Aim To characterize the potential of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLF) to synthesize CRP and Th-related cytokines in response to IL-6 in periodontal health and apical inflammation.
-
(Elsevier, 2017)Background: Increased inflammation biomarkers plasma levels, including C-reactive protein (CRP), have been associated with the initiation and perpetuation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is not known whether an ...
-
(SOC MEDICA SANTIAGO, 2008-09)Type I familial hyperaldosteronism is caused by the presence of a chimaeric gene CYP11B1/CYP11B2 which encodes an enzyme with aldosterone synthetase activity regulated by adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH). Therefore, ...
