Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), a member of the HDAC enzymes, has been reported to play substantial roles in many cellular processes. Evidence shows that deregulation of HDAC6 may be involved in the progression of some cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammatory disorders.
Introduction Pituitary adenomas (PA) are benign, accounting for 10-15% of the primary brain tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) records the percentage of residual tumor after surgery from 12.8-42% of cases, then the tumor will progress, resurgery in these cases often faces[r]
If A1C goals are not achieved after a period of 3–6 mo of treatment with basal insulin plus oral agents, patients should be instructed to monitor glucose preprandially and/or 1–2 h after each meal on a rotating basis to identify the main meal that is contributing to hyper[r]

By replacing abnormal stem cells with cells from a normal donor, hematopoietic cell transplantation can cure patients of a variety of immunodeficiency disorders including severe combined immunodeficiency, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and Chédiak[r]
Modern man faces a great many awful diseases and disorders which were not even known to ancient man. Dietary patterns were merely responsible for this deadly situation. Hence replacing empty calorie foods with nutritious grain-millets thus helps to reduce the burden of malnutrition and also prevents[r]

After resolution of an acute infection in patients with recurrences (e.g., ≥3 episodes per year), the use of suppressive antibiotics to mini- mize the microbial load and reduce the frequency of exacerbations has been proposed, although there is less[r]

The anterior choroidal artery (AChA) is a critical artery in brain physiology and function. The AChA is involved in many diseases, including aneurysm, brain infarct, Moyamoya disease (MMD), brain tumor, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), etc. The AChA is vulnerable to damage during the treatment of t[r]
