Drug-induced hepatotoxicity is a frequent cause of liverdisease and acute liver failure,
particularly in patients treatedwith multiple drugs. Several antibacterial drugs have thepotential to …

Background— Platelet activation is a hallmark of acute coronary syndromes. Numerous
lines of evidence suggest a mechanistic link between von Willebrand factor or platelet …

Objective: The Duffy receptor is a promiscuous receptor for chemokines and selectively
binds CXC and CC chemokines with high affinity. Preclinical data show that presence of the …

suggest a ‘prothrombotic’ coagulation profile in blacks compared with whites, others report an …

INTRODUCTION: Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs) are a specific subtype of haematopoietic
stem cells that contribute to the repair of injured endothelium. Treatment with atorvastatin …

Reparixin antagonizes interleukin-8 (IL-8) on the level of signal transduction in vitro. We
hypothesized that IL-8 mediates some of the reactions occurring during acute inflammation and …
