Cardiovascular and renal function of angiotensin II type-2 receptors [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2004 While all of the well-known cardiovascular and renal effects of angiotensin II (ANG) are attributed to the ANG type-1 (AT(1)) receptor, much less is known about the function of ANG type-2 (AT(2)) receptors. This review focuses on progress made in AT(2) receptor research over the past 10 years mainly enabled by the availability of AT(2) receptor ...

A 73‐Year‐Old Man With Several Years of Difficulty Climbing Stairs and Frequent Tripping
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A 73‐year‐old man presented with progressive weakness and atrophy predominantly affecting the distal finger flexors and quadriceps muscles. Electrophysiological studies demonstrated mixed myogenic and neurogenic features. Muscle MRI showed inflammatory changes, and muscle biopsy revealed granulomatous myositis with histologic features ...
