In summary, at baseline autonomic function is similar in patients with RA and SLE and controls, with only limited evidence for heightened autonomic function in (a subgroup of) patients with rheumatic diseases.
We suggest the possibility of niche partitioning within aquaculture biofilters, which in turn suggests heightened biofilter function and resiliency, as follows.
Numerous carefully designed laboratory experiments measuring the effects of meditation on health and well-being have demonstrated significant positive effects--an increased sense of well-being, lowered anxiety, improved attentional focus, and heightened immune function.
Immunotoxicity encompasses both reduced and heightened immune function.
We sought to determine whether heightened REST function would similarly result in increased disease aggression [ 25].
Given that heightened REST function is not due to enhanced REST copy number or gene expression, we investigated possible post-transcriptional mechanisms of regulating REST function.
In neoplasia, heightened REST function in medulloblastoma tumor cells contributes to their tumorigenicity in mouse models of the disease, in part by preventing their differentiation [ 7, 8].
Intriguingly, both glioma subtypes showed significant decreases in mean REST target gene expression with increasing tumor grade, suggesting that heightened REST function may be associated with more aggressive disease.
Using the above three independent REST gene lists, GSEA found statistically significant decreases in REST target gene mRNA levels, suggesting that a significant population of these high grade gliomas have heightened REST function.
They're transient, which gives them a heightening function that not many video games can boast.
