Is increased gene expression of collagen Types I and III inhibited by beta-receptor blockade in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy?
beta-Blockers are considered to inhibit the expression of collagen-related genes in DCM, which seems to be mediated by TGF-beta(1).
Among patients with chronic constipation undergoing ROM transit testing, there is no association between rectosigmoid location of markers and rectoanal gradient or prolonged balloon expulsion.
