SSRI Drugs Can Cause Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Serotonin — also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT — is typically referred to as “the happiness hormone” and deficiency is thought to be the source of depression.
Plasma proteomics analysis of Chinese HIV-1 infected individuals focusing on the immune and inflammatory factors afford insight into the viral control mechanism
Background: Long-term non-progressors (LTNPs) with HIV infection can naturally control viral replication for up to a decade without antiretroviral therapy (ART), but the underlying mechanisms of this phenomenon remain elusive. Methods: To investigate the relevant immune and inflammatory factors associated with this natural control mechanism, we collected plasma samples from
Autoimmune uveitis attenuated in diabetic mice through imbalance of Th1/Th17 differentiation via suppression of AP-1 signaling pathway in Th cells
Inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes, however the impact of diabetes on organ-specific autoimmune diseases remains unexplored.Experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) is a widely accepted animal model of human endogenous uveitis. In this study, we investigated the effects of diabetic conditions on the development of EAU using a
Inhibition of interferon gamma impairs induction of experimental epidermolysis bullosa acquisita
Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is a muco-cutaneous autoimmune disease characterized and caused by autoantibodies targeting type VII collagen (COL7).
Anti-inflammatory and/or immunomodulatory activities of Uncaria tomentosa (cat's claw) extracts: a systematic review and meta-analysis of in vivo studies
Background: Uncaria tomentosa (Willd.ex Schult.) DC.(Rubiaceae), is traditionally used by Amazonian indigenous groups to treat inflammatory diseases.
Fascinating Research on Vitamin A From 1925
My colleague Pam Schoenfeld, MS, recently put me onto an eye-opening article on vitamin A.
Plasma fatty acids and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a Mendelian randomization investigation
Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder of childhood, and pathogenesis is not fully understood.
A streamlined workflow for a fast and cost-effective count of tyndallized probiotics using flow cytometry
The use of dead probiotics and their cellular metabolites seems to exhibit immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, providing protection against pathogens.

Background: Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are widely used in the clinical management of hypertension.
Gingiva squamous-cell carcinoma in a non-smoking patient with occupational exposure to solvent siphoning using mouth: case report and literature review
Background: While overall head and neck cancer incidence decreases due to reduced tobacco and alcohol consumption, the incidence of HPV negative oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is raising in several industrialised countries, especially in non-smoking and non-drinking patients.Case presentation: We document a case of gingiva SCC in a
