Aldosterone-induced vasculopathy

open access: yes, 2004
Aldosterone antagonists reduce mortality in chronic heart failure (CHF). An obvious question to ask is how do they do this. The prevailing hypothesis is that most of the adverse effects of aldosterone stem from its ability to produce a vasculopathy. This

Shared genetic and molecular architecture between neurodevelopmental disorders and type 1 diabetes

open access: yesJournal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Epidemiological and clinical studies have suggested possible associations between type 1 diabetes (T1D) and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), but these relationships remain inconsistent across disorders and populations. To clarify whether such mixed findings, we investigated the genetic architecture linking T1D with autism spectrum disorder

The effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system gene polymorphisms on insulin resistance in hypertensive families

open access: yes, 2014
Introduction: The hereditability of insulin resistance has been demonstrated in both familial and twin studies. The effects of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system gene polymorphisms on insulin resistance remain inconclusive.

A comparative analysis of the prevalence of medicine classes and polypharmacy between community‐dwelling and residential aged care populations in Western Australia

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy Practice and Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Polypharmacy is a global issue, particularly among residential aged care home (RACH) residents with multimorbidity and complex care needs. However, population‐level evidence on longitudinal trends and comparisons with community‐dwelling (CD) older adults remains limited.

Determinants of Early Renal Function Recovery After TIPS in Patients With Portal Hypertension

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal dysfunction frequently occurs in patients with portal hypertension and is linked to unfavorable clinical outcomes. Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has the potential to enhance renal perfusion through portal decompression; however, factors predicting early improvement in renal function remain insufficiently defined ...

Diagnosis of Portal Hypertension: Advancing Towards Non‐Invasive Solutions

open access: yesPortal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes a full spectrum of non‐invasive diagnostic approaches for portal hypertension (PH), including imaging modalities, elastography, serum biomarkers, composite scoring systems and endoscopic ultrasound‐guided portal pressure gradient (EUS‐PPG), and analyzes their performance across different liver disease etiologies ...

Physiology of aldosterone and pharmacology of aldosterone blockers

open access: yes, 2011
New adverse effects of aldosterone are now apparent: endothelial dysfunction, myocardial fibrosis and LV remodelling. Aldosterone blockade is able to reverse these adverse effects and so reduce mortality in heart failure.
