Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common cause of morbidity in premature neonates. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of oral ibuprofen and oral acetaminophen to closure of symptomatic PDA, in premature neonates with gestational age (GA) ≤32 weeks. ⋯ These findings suggest that there was no significant difference between the effectiveness of oral acetaminophen and oral ibuprofen on closing of PDA, but less adverse effects and contraindication for acetaminophen make it reasonable choice for the treatment of symptomatic PDA.

Physical training signals cardiac hypertrophy through PI3K as an upstream and Hand2 gene as a downstream agent. The present study aimed to find the role of PI3K and Hand2 gene in myocardial hypertrophy following interval and endurance training (ET). ⋯ It can be concluded that this training protocol caused physiological hypertrophy in both of ET and HIIT groups, whereas HIIT can be more beneficial because of shorter training time.

According to an Anglo-Saxon study, in breast cancer survivors, there is a high prevalence of impaired fasting glucose. Our aim was to assess the impaired fasting glucose occurring in Mexican woman survivors of breast cancer. ⋯ Impaired fasting glucose is usual in Mexican breast cancer survivors. It is more in obese and overweight women compared to normal weight.

Acute kidney injury is a common debilitating disease with no curative treatment. The recent development of big biological data is expected to expand our understanding of the disorder if appropriately analyzed to generate translational knowledge. We have here re-analyzed a time-course microarray data on mRNA expression of rat kidneys exposed to ischemia-reperfusion to identify key underlying biological processes. ⋯ Using systems biology top-down approach, we have suggested novel potential genes and pathways to be intervened toward kidney regeneration.
