Tailoring therapy for heart failure: the pharmacogenomics of adrenergic receptor signaling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Heart failure is one of the leading causes of mortality in Western countries, and β-blockers are a cornerstone of its treatment. However, the response to these drugs is variable among individuals, which might be explained, at least in part, by genetic ...

Nuclear Factor kappa B is required for the production of infectious human herpesvirus 8 virions

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2014
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) infection leads to potent activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NFB) in primary and transformed cells. We used recombinant HHV8 (rKSHV.219) expressing green fluorescent protein under the constitutive cellular promoter ...

Acceptability and feasibility of the NPS MedicineWise mobile phone application in supporting medication adherence in patients with chronic heart failure: Protocol for a pilot study.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
IntroductionHeart failure (HF) is an increasing global concern. Despite evidence-based pharmacotherapy, morbidity and mortality remain high in HF. Medication non-adherence is a crucial factor in optimising clinical outcomes.

Systems Intelligence and the HF Tool in foregrounding human factors in systemic safety

open access: yesTheoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science
The safety of sociotechnical systems ultimately depends on the success of people’s everyday activities at work. This is the core idea of Safety-II. However, practical tools for applying Safety-II thinking in practice are scarce. In this study we present a new approach to managing human factors (HF) in safety, spotlighting people’s own experiential and ...

Semaphorin 3F is elevated in serum of heart failure patients and inhibits cardiac angiogenesis via the VEGF/Akt/eNOS pathway

open access: yesJournal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology Plus
Left ventricular (LV) remodeling in heart failure (HF) is associated with vascular rarefaction and impaired angiogenesis. The inhibition of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mediated angiogenesis is a key feature in the pathophysiology of HF ...

Locally expressed IGF1 propeptide improves mouse heart function in induced dilated cardiomyopathy by blocking myocardial fibrosis and SRF-dependent CTGF induction

open access: yesDisease Models & Mechanisms, 2012
SUMMARY Cardiac fibrosis is critically involved in the adverse remodeling accompanying dilated cardiomyopathies (DCMs), which leads to cardiac dysfunction and heart failure (HF). Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), a profibrotic cytokine, plays a key

Abnormalities of Skeletal Muscle, Adipocyte Tissue, and Lipid Metabolism in Heart Failure: Practical Therapeutic Targets

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2020
Chronic diseases, including heart failure (HF), are often accompanied with skeletal muscle abnormalities in both quality and quantity, which are the major cause of impairment of the activities of daily living and quality of life.

Serum and synovial fluid lipidomic profiles predict obesity-associated osteoarthritis, synovitis, and wound repair [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
High-fat diet-induced obesity is a major risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA) and diminished wound healing. The objective of this study was to determine the associations among serum and synovial fluid lipid levels with OA, synovitis, adipokine levels, and

A One Health Approach to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disease in humans and results in significant morbidity and mortality. Research over the past 25 years has contributed enormous insight into this inherited disease particularly in the ...

Role of gut microbiota in the aetiology of obesity: proposed mechanisms and review of the literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The aetiology of obesity has been attributed to several factors (environmental, dietary, lifestyle, host, and genetic factors); however none of these fully explain the increase in the prevalence of obesity worldwide.
