Blood Electrical Impedance Closely Matches Whole Blood Viscosity as Parameter of Hemorheology and Inflammation

Applied Rheology, 2003
Red blood cell aggregation (RBCa) is a sensitive inflammation marker. RBCa determination from erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ESR, is used since long, but is unspecific unless corrected for hematocrit, Ht.

CASP1 Gene Polymorphisms and BAT1-NFKBIL-LTA-CASP1 Gene–Gene Interactions Are Associated with Restenosis after Coronary Stenting

Biomolecules, 2022
In the present study, we evaluated the association of the BAT1, NFKBIL, LTA, and CASP1 single nucleotide polymorphisms and the gene–gene interactions with risk of developing restenosis after coronary stenting. The allele and genotype determination of the

Exercise Hemodynamics Enhance Diagnosis of Early Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Circulation: Heart Failure, 2010
Background—When advanced, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is readily apparent. However, diagnosis of earlier disease may be challenging because exertional dyspnea is not specific for heart failure, and biomarkers and hemodynamic ...

Systemic Extracerebral Atherosclerotic Burden and Dementia Risk After Incident Stroke

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Stroke survivors are at increased risk of dementia, but clinically accessible markers of risk heterogeneity remain limited. Previous studies have largely examined atherosclerotic disease in individual vascular beds rather than the overall burden of systemic extracerebral atherosclerosis.

Innovations in glaucoma treatment: development and testing of a novel self-adjustable implant for effective pressure regulation

Microsystems & Nanoengineering
Glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) are widely used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) and slow disease progression; however, existing designs often lack intrinsic protection against early postoperative hypotony, show limited adaptability to evolving ...

The renin-angiotensin system in healthy human platelets: expressed but inactive

Platelets
Platelets play a crucial role in arterial thrombus formation, offering potential for new antiplatelet therapies with reduced bleeding risk. Here, we investigated the role of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in human platelets and explored its potential

Acute Endocrine Alterations After Traumatic Brain Injury and 6‐Month Functional Outcome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Acute multi‐axis endocrine alterations after traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain incompletely characterized. This study aimed to examine their temporal patterns and explore their associations with 6‐month functional outcome and early inflammatory markers.

Retrospective Diagnosis of Recurrent Takotsubo Syndrome Episodes in a 40-Year-Old Woman

Diagnostics
Recurrence of Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is the most significant challenge in the long-term follow-up of patients with TS. We present the case of a 40-year-old woman with a history of two acute coronary syndromes and myocarditis who was hospitalized in our ...

Magnetoactive Hydrogels to Probe Curvature‐Directed Endothelial Cell Mechanosensing

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work establishes a platform to investigate local curvature as a regulator of endothelial mechanosensing independent of shear stress. Magnetoactive hydrogels enable on‐demand curvature of endothelial monolayers to reproduce tortuosity quantified by clinically established metrics.

Multi-parametric estimation of brain hemodynamics with MR Fingerprinting ASL (MRF-ASL)

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2016
Assessment of brain hemodynamics without exogenous contrast agents is of increasing importance in clinical applications. This study aims to develop an MR perfusion technique that can provide noncontrast and multiparametric estimation of hemodynamic ...
