THE IMPACT OF AGE-RELATED SARCOPENIA ON SURVIVAL AND MORTALITY IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE [PDF]
There is an increasing HF population resulting from the higher number of MI survivors and the widespread presence of diabetes, hypertension, CHD (Chronic Heart Filure), obesity and other chronic conditions.

Inflammation in Human Heart Failure: Major Mediators and Therapeutic Targets
Inflammation has been recognized as a major pathophysiological contributor to the entire spectrum of human heart failure (HF), including HF with reduced ejection fraction, HF with preserved ejection fraction, acute HF and cardiogenic shock. Nevertheless,

The Importance of Optimal Hydration in Patients with Heart Failure—Not Always Too Much Fluid
Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality and a major public health problem. Both overhydration and dehydration are non-physiological states of the body that can adversely affect human health. Congestion and residual congestion are

The degree of successful human-robot collaboration is dependent on the joint consideration of robot factors (RF) and human factors (HF). Depending on the state of the operator, a change in a robot factor, such as the behavior or level of autonomy, can be

A Novel Cortisol Immunosensor Based on a Hafnium Oxide/Silicon Structure for Heart Failure Diagnosis
Assessing cortisol levels in human bodies has become essential to diagnose heart failure (HF). In this work, we propose a salivary cortisol detection strategy as part of an easily integrable lab-on-a-chip for detection of HF biomarkers.

Increased levels of inflammatory cytokines and endothelin-1 in alveolar macrophages from patients with chronic heart failure. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Pathophysiological interactions between heart and lungs in heart failure (HF) are well recognized. We investigated whether expression of different factors known to be increased in the myocardium and/or the circulation in HF is also increased ...

Soluble tumor endothelial marker 1 in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction: A pilot study
BackgroundTumor endothelial marker 1 (TEM1/CD248) is a transmembrane protein that expresses in mesenchymal lineage derived cells during embryogenesis and becomes undetectable in normal adults after birth. Re-expression of TEM1 is found in organ fibrosis,

When is it time to stop working due to fatigue? A simple human factors (HF) self-assessment test [PDF]
The role of human factors (HFs) in medical error is now widely acknowledged, although there are few publications that deal with pathology-specific HF issues. A definition of HF that is widely accepted is as follows: ‘ environmental, organisational and job factors in human and individual characteristics which influence behaviour at work in a way which ...

lncRNA2919 Suppresses Rabbit Dermal Papilla Cell Proliferation via trans-Regulatory Actions
Hair follicles (HFs) are complex organs that grow cyclically during mammals’ growth and development. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) cannot be translated into proteins and play crucial roles in many biological processes.
