Resumen
El vapeo puede causar eritrocitosis, una condición de recuento elevado de glóbulos rojos. Este estudio de caso muestra que la eritrocitosis inducida por el vapeo se resolvió después de dejar el uso de cigarrillos electrónicos, destacando el vapeo como una posible causa secundaria.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Medicina Interna
- Toxicología
- Hematología
Sus antecedentes:
- El vapeo (uso de cigarrillos electrónicos) es una creciente preocupación de salud mundial.
- Se reconocen cada vez más los efectos adversos para la salud asociados con el vapeo.
- La eritrocitosis, caracterizada por un recuento elevado de glóbulos rojos, puede tener diversas causas subyacentes.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Informar un caso de eritrocitosis inducida por el vapeo en un hombre joven.
- Destacar el vapeo como una posible causa secundaria de eritrocitosis.
- Enfatizar la importancia de considerar el vapeo en el diagnóstico diferencial de la eritrocitosis inexplicada.
Principales métodos:
- Informe de caso de un paciente varón joven.
- Evaluación clínica que incluye historial médico y examen físico.
- Monitorización de parámetros hematológicos tras la cesación del vapeo.
Principales resultados:
- El paciente presentó eritrocitosis.
- No se reportó historial de hipoxia o uso de medicamentos que causen eritrocitosis.
- La eritrocitosis se resolvió después de que el paciente cesó el uso de cigarrillos electrónicos.
Conclusiones:
- El vapeo puede inducir eritrocitosis.
- La cesación del vapeo condujo a la resolución de la eritrocitosis en este caso.
- Los médicos deben investigar el vapeo como una posible causa de eritrocitosis en ausencia de otros factores de riesgo conocidos.

Most chemical reactions in cells require enzymes—biological catalysts that speed up the reaction without being consumed or permanently changed. They reduce the activation energy needed to convert the reactants into products. Enzymes are proteins, that usually work by binding to a substrate—a reactant molecule that they act upon.
Enzymes exhibit substrate specificity, meaning that they can only bind to certain substrates. This is mainly determined by the shape and chemical...

01:13Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
28.0K
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different types of cells. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are post-mitotic—that is, they no longer divide. However, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they “de-differentiate” and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are also pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are therefore...

Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that divide and produce different cell types. Ordinarily, cells that have differentiated into a specific cell type are terminally differentiated; however, scientists have found a way to reprogram these mature cells so that they dedifferentiate and return to an unspecialized, proliferative state. These cells are pluripotent like embryonic stem cells—able to produce all cell types—and are called induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).

01:30Spontaneous and Induced Mutations
2.2K
Spontaneous mutations arise infrequently during DNA replication due to errors in the process. A key factor behind these errors is tautomeric shifts in nitrogenous bases, where bases transition from keto to enol forms or amino to imino forms. This shift can alter base-pairing rules, leading to mutations. Additionally, reactive oxygen species (ROS) arising from aerobic metabolism can damage DNA, resulting in depurination (loss of a purine base) or depyrimidination (loss of a pyrimidine base).

01:28Induced Electric Dipoles
4.8K
A permanent electric dipole orients itself along an external electric field. This rotation can be quantified by defining the potential energy because the external torque does work in rotating it. Then, the potential energy is minimum at the parallel configuration and maximum at the antiparallel configuration. While the former is a stable equilibrium, the latter is an unstable equilibrium.
Since the absolute value of potential energy holds no physical meaning, its zero value can be chosen as per...

01:23Induced Electric Fields
4.6K
The fact that emfs are induced in circuits implies that work is being done on the conduction electrons in the wires. What can possibly be the source of this work? We know that it’s neither a battery nor a magnetic field, as a battery does not have to be present in a circuit where current is induced, and magnetic fields never do any work on moving charges. The source of the work is in fact an electric field that is induced in the wires. For example, if a stationary conductor is placed in a...
