Liposomes are potential drug carriers for atherosclerosis therapy due to low immunogenicity and ease of surface modifications that allow them to have prolonged circulation half-life and spec...
Although exposure to ambient air pollution (AAP) increases the risk for arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), evidence on the association of solid fuel use with ASCVD and its asso...
Atherosclerosis still remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and deeper understanding of target signaling that protect from the atherosclerosis progression may provi...
To determine the prevalence of different psychiatric comorbidities in patients with obesity and study their relationship with the degrees of obesity.This cross-sectional study included 151 p...
To investigate associations of genetic factors and environmental factors with coronary artery disease (CAD), we collected medical reports, lifestyle details, and blood samples of 2113 indivi...
South Asian (SA) ethnicity is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, the implications of considering SA ethnicity as a "risk-enhancing ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia and is characterized by the heart's beating in an uncoordinated manner. In clinical studies, patients often do not have...
The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is closely related to endothelial cell injury caused by lipid peroxidation-induced ferroptosis. Tanshinone IIA (TSA) protects endothelial tissues from dam...
Esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is one of the most challenging surgical procedures, with high rates of morbidity, especially from respiratory complications. SARS-COVID19 represents a hea...
Body packing is defined as the ingestion of drug packets, to conceal them during transportation. We report the case of a 63-year-old cocaine body packer, who died from an aortic dissection. ...
Despite an evidence-based protocol to facilitate same-day discharge (SDD) of patients undergoing elective intracoronary procedures, overnight hospitalization remains a routine practice.This ...
Clinical Background: The heart can cause kidney disease, and the kidney can cause heart disease. As an example of the first situation, we can mention dilated cardiomyopathies, which can lead...
Albuminuria is a risk factor for macro- and microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes (T2D).With an increasing trend of normoalbuminuria, however, of the 2 predictors - estimated glomer...
Microparticles (MPs) are submicron vesicles, released from activated, and apoptotic cells. MPs are elevated in the circulation of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and have pro-thr...
Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. The interactions between BPA, extracellular microparticles (MPs), and atherosclerosis are unknown. A to...
Assessment of vessel walls is an integral part in diagnosis and disease monitoring of vascular diseases such as vasculitis. Vessel wall imaging (VWI), in particular of intracranial arteries,...
Atherosclerosis is a chronic vascular inflammatory disease with complex pathogenesis. Its serious consequence is insufficient blood supply to heart and brain, which eventually leads to myoca...
We consider Bayesian high-dimensional mediation analysis to identify among a large set of correlated potential mediators the active ones that mediate the effect from an exposure variable to ...
Lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC) and intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) are morphological features of high-risk atherosclerotic plaques. However, their relationship to circulating lipoproteins is u...
The dysfunction of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is critical for atherosclerosis (AS) progression. Autophagy is indispensable during phenotypic switching and proliferation of VSMCs, c...
