Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Is Characterized by a Distinct Proteomic Profile

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objectives The pathophysiology of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is poorly understood and disease‐specific biomarkers are lacking. We aimed to shed light on IIH pathophysiology and identify disease‐specific biomarkers. Methods This prospective cross‐sectional cohort study included patients with new‐onset IIH and age‐, body mass index‐, and ...

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,

Genetics of Angiotensin I-Converting Enzyme

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 1997
The ACE gene is constitutively expressed in several types of somatic cells, including vascular cells. A soluble form of the enzyme is secreted in plasma by proteolytic cleavage of the membrane anchor. The interindividual variability in plasma ACE levels is very large, and a family study has indicated that it was under the influence of a major gene ...

Expert Perspectives: Defining and Managing Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis–associated interstitial lung disease (SSc‐ILD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in SSc, affecting up to three‐quarters of patients. The disease course is highly heterogeneous, ranging from indolent, nonprogressive forms to rapidly progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF).

Elevated Serum Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Levels As A Reflection Of Bone Marrow Renin-Angiotensin System Activation In Multiple Myeloma

, 2012
Introduction: Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is a circulating enzyme that participates in the body's renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and is localized on the endothelial cell surface in the lung and other vascular beds.
