Index cases of intracranial aneurysms in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: longitudinal experience from a single renal transplantation centre

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The prevalence of intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) is higher in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) than in the general population. This extrarenal manifestation carries significant mortality and morbidity risks.

Risk stratification by pre-operative cardiopulmonary exercise testing improves outcomes following elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery : a cohort study [PDF]

, 2013
Background: In 2009, the NHS evidence adoption center and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published a review of the use of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).

Targeting acetylated high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1) and toll‐like receptor (TLR4) interaction to alleviate hypertension and neuroinflammation in fructose‐fed rats

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Our previous study reported that fructose intake increased systemic blood pressure and reduced nitric oxide (NO) in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) due to oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. However, it remains unclear how reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduce NO and how this process impacts neuroinflammation in ...

Effect of a Flared Renal Stent on the Performance of Fenestrated Stent-Grafts at Rest and Exercise Conditions [PDF]

, 2016
Purpose: To quantify the hemodynamic impact of a flared renal stent on the performance of fenestrated stent-grafts (FSGs) by analyzing flow patterns and wall shear stress–derived parameters in flared and nonflared FSGs in different physiologic scenarios.

Ultrasound fundamentals and their clinical implications for interventional cytopathologists

Cytopathology, EarlyView.
Interventional cytopathologists need to know about ultrasound physics and instrumentation to produce an image that faithfully recreates the lesion discovered by the sonographer and diagnosed by the radiologist. A deep quantitative understanding of physics is not required.

Use of NT‐proBNP for the screening, diagnosis and risk‐stratification of left ventricular dysfunction

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Heart failure (HF) is a major health problem, and preventing the onset of heart failure could have large cost implications for healthcare systems globally. Screening for heart failure and its precursor, left ventricular dysfunction, could allow patients to receive therapies shown to reduce the risk of incident heart failure, such as ACE ...

The impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on longitudinal trends of surgical mortality and inpatient quality of care in Ontario, Canada

Journal of Advanced Nursing, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Previous studies have shown the COVID‐19 pandemic was associated with reductions in volume across a spectrum of non‐SARS‐CoV‐2 hospitalizations. In the present study, we examine the impact of the pandemic on patient safety and quality of care. Design This is a retrospective population‐based study of discharge abstracts. Methods We applied

Xanthine Derivative KMUP‐3 Alleviates Periodontal Bone Resorption by Inhibiting Osteoclastogenesis and Macrophage Pyroptosis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This study reveals that our self‐developed xanthine derivative, KMUP‐3, suppresses osteoclastogenesis, inflammation, and pyroptosis by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome. It also alleviates periodontal bone loss in periodontitis rats, highlighting its potential as a novel therapeutic option for periodontitis.

Variability and gaps in teamwork assessment tools for health care teams in health professions education: A scoping review

Medical Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Teamwork is an essential component of health care and health professions education (HPE). The assessment of teamwork remains a significant challenge, and little is known about teamwork assessment tools (i.e. structured instruments or methods) used to examine the performance of health care teams within HPE.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.
