PRIAPISM IN SICKLE CELL DISEASE: ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN NOS3 AND EDN1 GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS AND LABORATORY BIOMARKERS.

Priapism in sickle cell disease: Associations between NOS3 and EDN1 genetic polymorphisms and laboratory biomarkers.

Priapism is a urologic emergency characterized by an uncontrolled, persistent and painful erection in the absence of sexual stimulation, which can lead to penile fibrosis and impotence.It is highly frequent in sickle cell disease (SCD) associated with hemolytic episodes.Our aim was to investigate molecules that may participate in the regulation of

Design and Analysis of a Novel Double-Stator Double-Rotor Motor Drive System for In-Wheel Direct Drive of Electric Vehicles

In-wheel direct drive (IWDD) of electric vehicles (EVs), which simplifies the transmission system and facilitates flexible control of vehicle dynamics, has evolved considerably in the EV sector.This paper proposes a novel double-stator double-rotor motor (DSDRM) with a bidirectional flux modulation Coffee Tables effect for in-wheel direct drive of

Contribution of Adipose Tissue Oxidative Stress to Obesity-Associated Diabetes Risk and Ethnic Differences: Focus on Women of African Ancestry

Adipose tissue (AT) storage capacity is central in the maintenance of whole-body homeostasis, especially in obesity states.However, sustained nutrients overflow may dysregulate this function resulting in adipocytes hypertrophy, AT hypoxia, inflammation and oxidative stress.Systemic inflammation may also contribute to the disruption of AT redox equi
