Risk factors include structural abnormalities (kidney stones, enlarged prostate), indwelling catheters, diabetes, pregnancy, or immunocompromised states that allow bacteria to ascend and persist in the urinary tract
PlexusDx medication protocols are designed to complement, not replace, existing cardiac medications
Future studies need to establish whether inducing tolerance in humans can be achieved by clonal anergy or clonal deletion of effector cells, or whether antigen-specific regulatory cells may be able to suppress autoreactivity locally
Intracellular Mechanisms When NO forms, it has a half-life of only a few seconds because superoxide anion has a high affinity for NO (both molecules have an unpaired electron, making them highly reactive)
Whether obesity is associated with suicide attempts or ideation remains unclear, as only a few, methodologically flawed studies have assessed these associations, providing heterogeneous findings, both between studies and in key risk groups [21]
