Blood pressure response to renal denervation is correlated with baseline blood pressure variability: a patient-level meta-analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Sympathetic tone is one of the main determinants of blood pressure (BP) variability and treatment-resistant hypertension. The aim of our study was to assess changes in BP variability after renal denervation (RDN).

The Effects of Angiotensin Receptor Neprilysin Inhibitor on Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Doxorubicin‐Mediated Cardiomyopathy‐Associated Heart Failure Model in Rats

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the most serious complications associated with the use of the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX) is cardiomyopathy. Although cardioprotective drugs such as angiotensin receptor‐neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) are used to prevent cardiomyopathy in DOX patients, no studies have reported the relationship between ARNI and endoplasmic ...

Growth hormone plus resistance exercise attenuate structural changes in rat myotendinous junctions resulting from chronic unloading. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Myotendinous junctions (MTJs) are specialized sites on the muscle surface where forces generated by myofibrils are transmitted across the sarcolemma to the extracellular matrix.

Value of 2‐Dimensional Shear‐Wave Elastography in Assessing Tibial Nerve Stiffness in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The morphological alterations of the tibial nerve in patients with diabetes mellitus, both with and without diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), are challenging to differentiate using B‐mode ultrasound. In this study, we assessed the stiffness changes of the tibial nerve by 2‐dimensional shear‐wave elastography (2D‐SWE). Methods We gathered

Computer Vision Analysis for Objective Motor Assessment in Parkinson's Disease: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The Movement Disorder Society‐Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale‐Part III (MDS‐UPDRS‐III) is subjective and insensitive to subtle changes in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Computer vision (CV) can extract objective kinematics from routine outpatient videos, potentially augmenting the accuracy of the motor assessment ...

Considerations for Initiation and Maintenance of Foslevodopa/Foscarbidopa for Advanced Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background As Parkinson's disease (PD) progresses, motor fluctuations become increasingly difficult to manage with oral medications. Foslevodopa/foscarbidopa (LDp/CDp), delivered as a continuous 24‐h/day subcutaneous infusion, offers continuous levodopa delivery and stable plasma levodopa levels that reduce motor fluctuations. LDp/CDp has been

Regenerative role of mast cells and mesenchymal stem cells in histopathology of the sciatic nerve and tibialis cranialis muscle, following denervation in rats [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences
Objective(s): Atrophy of the muscles following denervation can lead to the death of myofibers. This study evaluated the sciatic nerve and tibialis cranialis muscle (TCM) regeneration using scaffold and cells.

Follow-up study of sensory-motor polyneuropathy in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic subjects after simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation and after graft rejection [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The influence of successful simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation on peripheral polyneuropathy was investigated in 53 patients for a mean observation period of 40.3 months. Seventeen patients were followed-up for more than 3 years.

Exocrine Gland Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease: Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, and Therapeutic Perspectives—A Narrative Review

open access: yesMovement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐motor symptoms, especially autonomic dysfunction, are major contributors to disability and decreased quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite being common and having a wide range of clinical facets, exocrine gland dysfunction is still not well recognized and managed.

The effects of ageing and exercise on skeletal muscle structure and function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Musculoskeletal ageing is associated with profound morphological and functional changes that increase fall risk and disease incidence and is characterised by age-related reductions in motor unit number and atrophy of muscle fibres, particularly type II ...
