Efficacy and Detection of Ceramide
Ceramides are composed of sphingosine analogs and long-chain fatty acids bound by amide bonds, and are the most important of the sphingolipid compounds. Ceramide is synthesized and secreted by lamellar vesicles, which together with cholesterol (25%) and free fatty acids (15%) constitute the intercellular lipids (ceramide 50%) involved in maintaining the skin barrier function. It also has various ...

Importance of hemodynamic monitoring during esophagectomy - Case Study
Background Esophagectomy for cancer involves two- or three-phase procedures, such as abdominal, chest and/or neck incisions, is more invasive than other types of gastrointestinal surgery, and is associated with high risk for postoperative morbidity. Because of this risk, perioperative management of circulatory conditions such as hypovolemic hypotension is especially important to avoid ...

Detailed Introduction to the Four Effects of Probiotics
Probiotics, in simple terms, are a group of microorganisms that can effectively promote human health. They can resist gastric acid and bile acid, and can attach and colonize in the intestinal tract. According to statistics, the human gastrointestinal tract contains a rich and diverse microbial community, gathering more than 100 trillion microorganisms. These microbiomes encode more than 3 million ...

Landmark study confirms that controlled blood pressure is key to prevent stroke, heart disease
Follow-up data from the landmark SPRINT study of the effect of high blood pressure on cardiovascular disease have confirmed that aggressive blood pressure management — lowering systolic blood pressure to less than 120 mm Hg — dramatically reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death from these diseases, as well as death from all causes, compared to lowering ...
