N-Terminal Pro–B-Type Natriuretic Peptide and Incident CKD

Kidney International Reports, 2021
Introduction: Serum N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels have been associated with the progression of kidney impairment among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but only a few studies have investigated the association ...

Resolution of Refractory Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia in Costello Syndrome Using Trametinib: A Case Supporting MEK Inhibitors as Targeted, Specific Antiarrhythmic

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arrhythmias affect approximately half of patients with Costello syndrome (CS, OMIM # 218040), with non‐reentrant atrial tachycardia being the most common. This case describes an infant with Costello syndrome carrying the pathogenic HRAS c.34G>A (p.G12S) variant who developed early‐onset, drug‐refractory multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT ...

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Plasma N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide as Prognostic Marker in Fatal Cardial Decompensation with Sunitinib Malate Therapy [PDF]

, 2010
A 74-year-old man with metastatic renal cell carcinoma and a history of cardiac failure was treated with sunitinib malate. MUGA echocardiography could not detect a relevant change in the ejection fraction although the clinical situation of the patient ...

Chrysin alleviates pressure overload–induced myocardial remodeling through regulating the PI3K/AKT/NRF2 pathway–mediated oxidative stress response

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we primarily simulated pathological myocardial remodeling induced by transverse aortic constriction surgery and found significant cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis, characterized by deteriorated cardiac function. Oxidative stress response is considered as a pivotal pathological process, which contributes to inflammation and apoptosis of ...

Blood pressure effects of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists: Mechanisms, trial evidence and Real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

BNP and NT-proBNP in heart failure : benefits and limitations for clinical ractice : data from COACH and other studies [PDF]

, 2006
The diagnostic and prognostic properties of B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) and N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP) in patients with heart failure have been well established during the past years.

External validation of the BAN‐ADHF diuretic‐resistance score in the DAPA‐RESIST clinical trial

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Diuretic resistance in worsening heart failure (HF) is associated with poorer outcomes and, although common, can be challenging to identify. The recently developed BAN‐ADHF score can potentially identify patients with worsening HF at risk of diuretic resistance.

Marine silicon for biomedical sustainability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Schematic illustrating marine silicon for biomedical engineering. Abstract Despite momentous divergence from oceanic origin, human beings and marine organisms exhibit elemental homology through silicon utilization. Notably, silicon serves as a critical constituent in multiple biomedical processes.

Alternate Circulating Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide and B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Forms in the General Population

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2007
This study was designed to determine whether alternate pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (proBNP) and BNP forms circulate in the general population.Bioactive BNP(1-32) and NT-proBNP(1-76) are derived from a precursor molecule, proBNP(1-108). Recent data suggest that aminodipeptidase-processed forms of BNP(1-32) (BNP(3-32)) and of proBNP(1-108) itself ...
