Liraglutide improves liver microvascular dysfunction in cirrhosis: Evidence from translational studies

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) play a key role in the development of chronic liver disease (CLD). Liraglutide, well-established in type 2 diabetes, showed anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties.

The normal ranges of cardiovascular parameters measured using the ultrasonic cardiac output monitor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The ultrasonic cardiac output monitor (USCOM) is a noninvasive transcutaneous continuous wave Doppler method for assessing hemodynamics. There are no published reference ranges for normal values in adults (aged 18– 60 years) for this device.

New Rat Model of Advanced NASH Mimicking Pathophysiological Features and Transcriptomic Signature of The Human Disease

open access: yesCells, 2019
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a major cause of chronic liver disease. However, most available animal models fail to reflect the whole spectrum of the disease.

Evaluation of Hemodynamic Changes in Retrobulbar Blood Vessels Using Color Doppler Imaging in Diabetic Patients

open access: yesLife, 2022
Background—Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of long-standing hyperglycemia. Microangiopathy-induced retinal changes are well-visualized on ophthalmoscopic examination. However, certain hemodynamic alterations have also been documented in the

Hemodynamic Evaluation of Nonselective \u3b2-Blockers in Patients with Cirrhosis and Refractory Ascites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
BACKGROUND:Nonselective \u3b2-blockers (NSBB) have been associated with increased incidence of paracentesis-induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD) and reduced survival in patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites.

Higher plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 levels are associated with a higher risk profile in pulmonary arterial hypertension

open access: yesPulmonary Circulation, 2019
Metabolic abnormalities are proposed to contribute to pulmonary arterial as well as right ventricular remodelling in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Among the proposed abnormalities are altered glucose and lipid processing, mitochondrial malfunction ...

Late Diagnosis of Anomalous Aortic Origin of a Coronary Artery from the Inappropriate Sinus of Valsalva during Investigation of Chest Pain

open access: yesCase Reports in Cardiology, 2018
In this work are reported two cases of anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA), with the left main coronary artery (LMCA) arising at the right sinus of Valsalva in a 77-year-old woman and in a 79-year-old man submitted to angiography after ...
