ABSTRACT Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active fat depot associated with cardiovascular risk and represents a modifiable imaging biomarker. Studies have shown that sodium–glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce EAT thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, it is unclear whether this is

ABSTRACT Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe complication of sepsis, yet the role of lncRNA NORAD in its pathogenesis remains unclear. Using LPS‐stimulated BEAS‐2B and HBEC3‐KT cells as well as cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)‐induced ALI models in C57BL/6 mice, we found that NORAD expression was markedly upregulated and promoted cell injury ...

ABSTRACT This study tested whether combined dapagliflozin (DAPA) and melatonin (Mel) therapy was superior to merely one for ameliorating the left ventricular (LV) fibrosis/remodeling and improving LV ejection fraction (LVEF) in rats after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In vitro study demonstrated that DAPA treatment significantly suppressed the TGF‐

ABSTRACT Hyperglycemia, glucose fluctuations, and thyroid dysfunction contribute to the progression of diabetic nephropathy. This study aimed to investigate the associations of glycemia, glucose variability, and thyroid hormones with albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In total, 451 T2DM patients were included.

Allisartan ranked best for serum urate reduction and showed favourable blood pressure control, whereas losartan also performed well overall. These rankings may inform ARB selection but should be interpreted cautiously because of inconsistency, heterogeneity and sparse direct evidence.
