Can experts predict health risk from family genograms?
Genograms may be no more accurate than standard clinical chart review for predicting short-term (three month) health outcomes.
MIF depresses human myocardial contractile function and impairs mitochondrial respiration. Changes in microtubule network likely promote MIF-induced cardiac dysfunction by 1) altering with mitochondrial tubular assembly and outer membrane permeability for adenine nucleotides leading to energy deficit, 2) excessive tubulin polymerization that may impede cardiomyocyte viscosity and motion, and 3) interfering with AMPK pathway.
