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

2'-fucosyllactose Supplementation Improves Gut-Brain Signaling and Diet-Induced Obese Phenotype and Changes the Gut Microbiota in High Fat-Fed Mice. [PDF]
Obesity is characterized by fat accumulation, chronic inflammation and impaired satiety signaling, which may be due in part to gut microbial dysbiosis. Manipulations of the gut microbiota and its metabolites are attractive targets for obesity treatment ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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,
