Index cases of intracranial aneurysms in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease: longitudinal experience from a single renal transplantation centre

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The prevalence of intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) is higher in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) than in the general population. This extrarenal manifestation carries significant mortality and morbidity risks.

Clinical Results for Cardiovascular Xenografts Treated With Novel Anticalcification Protocols

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates the safety, efficacy, and clinical performance of the tissue‐engineered Periborn bovine pericardial scaffold treated with our novel anticalcification protocols for surgical repair of a variety of cardiovascular diseases. The overall probability of freedom from Periborn‐related reoperation was 95.4% ± 3.2% at 9 years.

Circulating Fetuin‐A concentrations in rheumatic diseases: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 55, Issue 5, May 2025.
In this systematic review with meta‐analysis, we identified 19 eligible studies to determine whether there is any change in Fetuin‐A (FtA) concentrations in patients with rheumatic diseases. We observed a significant decrease in FtA concentrations in RD patients (standardized mean difference, SMD = −.91; 95% CI −1.43 to −.39, p = .001).

Endovascular repair of thoracic aortic aneurysm

Archives of Medical Science, 2010
A thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a potentially life-threatening condition with structural weakness of the aortic wall, which can progress to arterial dilatation and rupture. Today, both an increasing awareness of vascular disease and the access to tomographic imaging facilitate the diagnosis of TAA even in an asymptomatic stage.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Computational analysis to assess hemodynamic forces in descending thoracic aortic aneurysms

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Left: Pre‐processing. First, we perform the segmentation of the Computer Tomography angiorgraphy (angio‐CT) scans of a healthy patient, obtaining the surface of a healthy thoracic aorta with a Type III aortic arch. Then, we build nine ideal configurations with Descending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (DTAA), varying the aortic arch ...

Elucidating the Molecular Landscape of Cystic Kidney Disease: Old Friends, New Friends and Some Surprises

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 197, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Cystic kidney diseases (CyKD) are a diverse group of disorders affecting more than 1 in 1000 individuals. Over 120 genes are implicated, primarily encoding components of the primary cilium, transcription factors, and morphogens. Prognosis varies greatly by molecular diagnosis. Causal variants are not identified in 10%–60% of individuals due to

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2010
This paper addresses clinical controversies and uncertainties regarding thoracic aortic aneurysm and its treatment. 1) Estimating true aortic size is confounded by obliquity, asymmetry, and noncorresponding sites: both echocardiography and computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging are necessary for complete assessment.

Relaxin mimetic in pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease: Design and rationale of Re‐PHIRE

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 1956-1964, June 2025.
Abstract Aims Despite receiving guideline‐directed medical heart failure (HF) therapy, patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease (PH‐LHD) experience higher mortality and hospitalization rates than the general HF population.
