In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

Abstract Background As previously reported, an increased repolarization temporal imbalance induces a higher risk of total/cardiovascular mortality. Hypothesis The aim of this study was to assess if the electrocardiographic short period markers of repolarization temporal dispersion could be predictive of the hospital stay length and mortality in ...

A remote hypertension management program clinical algorithm
Abstract Introduction Hypertension is the leading risk factor for death, affecting over one billion people worldwide, yet control rates are poor and stagnant. We developed a remote hypertension management program that leverages digitally transmitted home blood pressure (BP) measurements, algorithmic care pathways, and patient–navigator communications ...

Predicting progression of aortic stenosis by measuring serum calcification propensity
Abstract Background The aim of this prospective, double‐blinded study in patients with aortic sclerosis was to determine whether a new calcification propensity measure in the serum could predict disease progression. Methods We included 129 consecutive patients with aortic sclerosis as assessed during a routine clinical echocardiographic exam. Clinical,

Effect of aldosterone on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of human peritoneal mesothelial cells
Background: Peritoneal fibrosis is one of the major causes of technical failure in patients on peritoneal dialysis. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the peritoneum is an early and reversible mechanism of peritoneal fibrosis. Human peritoneal
