This study suggests that the obesity-induced reduction of HSP70 expression in the brain and kidney can be directly or indirectly associated with disturbance of rhythms of the master clock and peripheral clocks. The study provides a link between circadian rhythm and HSP expression in obesity; the disturbance of these factors may lead to the progression of metabolic disorders.
We describe a case in which gastrointestinal distention due to superior mesenteric artery syndrome (SMAS) developed into membranous gangrene, which in turn led to septic shock in a 60‐year‐old woman with cerebral palsy and cachexia. The association with SMAS and septic shock is considered extremely rare, it is important to consider this combination especially in cachectic patients with gastric distension accompanying refractory shock unknown etiology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
