Mental stress as a trigger of cardiovascular events: A narrative review
European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.Stress stimulates the prefrontal cortex that in turns activates the limbic system with subsequent activation of the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system then stimulates the heart, vessels, endocrine and immune systems with a bidirectional communication. These mechanisms increase heart rate and blood pressure, promote vasoconstriction,

A matter arising: When should inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic diseases be considered ‘early’?
European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.Timely recognition of inflammatory and autoimmune rheumatic diseases (IARDs) is important to optimize the early diagnosis with tailored interventions and possible prevention of irreversible organ damage. This narrative review provides an update by summarizing the advances in identifying the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis and ...

Implications of inflammation and sex in lower extremity arterial disease
European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.The graphical abstract illustrates the role of inflammation and sex‐related differences in lower extremity artery disease (LEAD). Key inflammatory biomarkers associated with LEAD include C‐reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), and D‐dimer, which contribute to vascular inflammation and atherosclerotic plaque formation in lower limb ...

The fat‐heart entanglement and the role of ‘osteopontin mechanics’ in cardiometabolic senescence
European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 56, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Background Residual cardiovascular (CV) risk persists despite therapeutic advances. Obesity is heterogeneous, and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) dysfunction (‘adiposopathy’) complicates risk stratification. Osteopontin (OPN) is a pleiotropic mediator implicated in VAT inflammation, senescence‐associated pathways, atherosclerosis and myocardial ...

Intersections of vitamin D deficiency, HIV and chronic liver diseases
HIV Medicine, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 4-17, January 2026.Abstract Objectives Despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), chronic liver diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among people with HIV, with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) now the predominant etiology. Vitamin D deficiency is also highly prevalent in this population.
