Association between tongue pressure and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in relation to platelet levels in hypertensive elderly men: a cross-sectional study

Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine, 2018
Background Age-related low-grade inflammation causing endothelial disruption influences sarcopenia, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. We reported previously that maintenance of muscle strength in elderly hypertensive men with high platelet levels is ...

A new perspective on metformin therapy in type 1 diabetes [PDF]

, 2017
Metformin is quite frequently used off-label in type 1 diabetes to limit insulin dose requirement. Guidelines recommend that it can improve glucose control in those who are overweight and obese but evidence in support of this is limited.

Vascular Abnormalities in Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome: A Retrospective Cohort Study

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS), while generally free from severe vascular complications, may occasionally present with cardiac and vascular abnormalities that warrant specific investigation. While studies have been conducted on the prevalence of cardiac involvement, none have focused on vascular aspects. This retrospective study was

Chlamydia Pneumoniae in Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis [PDF]

International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2006
We evaluated, in 415 patients with asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis: (i) the prevalence of C. pneumoniae DNA in atherosclerotic carotid plaques and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC); (ii) the distribution of C. pneumoniae in atherosclerotic carotid plaques and PBMC from the same patients; (iii) the correlation between circulating anti ...

Multi‐omics data mining combined with experimental validation reveals ferroptosis‐ and autophagy‐associated hub genes as diagnostic candidates and immune modulators in atherosclerosis

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Using the GSE225650 dataset, we performed differential expression gene (DEG) screening, Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analysis (WGCNA), and immune infiltration profiling on atherosclerosis (AS) samples, yielding 104 shared candidate genes. Subsequently, these 104 candidate genes were intersected with ferroptosis‑ and autophagy‑related gene sets ...

Atherothrombosis and Oxidative Stress: Mechanisms and Management in Elderly [PDF]

, 2017
Significance: The incidence of cardiovascular events (CVEs) increases with age, representing the main cause of death in an elderly population. Aging is associated with overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may affect clotting and ...

A critical reappraisal of the carotid sinus and carotid bulb: Distinguishing neurohistological function from vascular geometry

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...
