Abstract Background Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) is recommended for patients with symptomatic drug refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (pAF). However, substantial atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence is common during follow‐up. Searching for a potential biomarker representing both myocardial injury and inflammation to identify patients at high risk ...

Modeling Interconnected Modules in Multivariate Outcomes: Evaluating the Impact of Alcohol Intake on Plasma Metabolomics [PDF]
Alcohol consumption has been shown to influence cardiovascular mechanisms in humans, leading to observable alterations in the plasma metabolomic profile. Regression models are commonly employed to investigate these effects, treating metabolomics features as the outcomes and alcohol intake as the exposure. Given the latent dependence structure among the

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Abstract Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients may have cardiac remodeling and dysfunction from the early stage of disease. This study aimed to determine the association between cystatin C (CysC) and early cardiac functional or structural impairment in T2DM patients without renal dysfunction.

Apolipoprotein A-I, A-II, and VLDL-B-100 metabolism in men
The impact of a low-fat diet and a high-MUFA diet on apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), apoA-II, and VLDL-apoB-100 metabolism in conditions of unrestricted (ad libitum) energy intake was compared in 65 men randomly assigned to one of two predefined ...

Metabolomic analysis reveals the molecular mechanism related to leg abnormality in broilers
The graphical abstract shows the principal results of this study. Compared to the leg normal broilers, the serum calcium to phosphorus ratio was extremely decreased in the group with deformed leg bones. Additionally, a total of nine differential metabolites significantly associated with leg abnormalities and serum calcium and phosphorus levels were ...

Predicting progression of aortic stenosis by measuring serum calcification propensity
Abstract Background The aim of this prospective, double‐blinded study in patients with aortic sclerosis was to determine whether a new calcification propensity measure in the serum could predict disease progression. Methods We included 129 consecutive patients with aortic sclerosis as assessed during a routine clinical echocardiographic exam. Clinical,
