Association Between Perioperative Sleep Disorders and Post‐Operative Delirium in Cardiac Surgeries: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Overview of studies included in the systematic review investigating the association between perioperative sleep disorders (PSD) and postoperative delirium (POD) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. ABSTRACT Post‐operative delirium (POD) is an acute deterioration in cognitive function and highly prevalent after cardiac surgery (CS; up to 55 ...

The Effect of 6 Months of Dietary Counselling on Sleep Outcomes Among Patients With Cardiovascular Diseases: A Randomised Controlled Trial

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep problems are highly prevalent among patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). We examined the effect of dietary counselling on sleep outcomes among patients with CVD. We performed secondary analyses within a previously conducted six‐month randomised controlled trial among patients with CVD.

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.

Uncovering the impact of the cardiovascular system on cerebrovascular health using MRI

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human cerebrovasculature is finely tuned to enable local changes in blood flow to meet the brain's demands, whilst protecting the brain from systemic changes in blood pressure, both acutely during a heartbeat and chronically over time. This review summarises cerebrovascular structure and function, their role in disease and neurodegeneration ...

Carotid artery dissection linked to intermittent apnoeic swimming: A case–control study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Internal carotid artery (ICA) dissection is a rare and potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischaemia, initiated by an intimal tear or rupture of the vasa vasorum, that can lead to an intraluminal thrombus, vascular stenosis, occlusion, or dissecting aneurysm formation.
