Clinicopathological Challenge: A Progressively Enlarging Hardened Skin Plaque
ABSTRACT Stiff skin syndrome (SSS) is a rare connective tissue disease manifesting as a progressive, non‐inflammatory fibrosis that causes the skin and soft tissues to harden. It can result in restricted joint movement, particularly affecting the shoulder and pelvic girdle. A segmental variant with a better prognosis has been described.

Cellular Senescence, Inflammaging and Cardiovascular Disease
ABSTRACT Aging is the most important yet unmodifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). As a result, targeting cardiovascular aging has emerged as a promising strategy to promote long‐term cardiovascular health. This review summarizes current knowledge on the effects of aging within the cardiovascular system as well as systemic processes ...

Ocular manifestations in the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome
The Hutchinson-Gilford progeria (HGP) syndrome is an extremely rare genetic condition characterized by an appearance of accelerated aging in children. The word progeria is derived from the Greek word progeros meaning ′prematurely old′. It is caused by de

DNA damage: A main determinant of vascular aging [PDF]
Vascular aging plays a central role in health problems and mortality in older people. Apart from the impact of several classical cardiovascular risk factors on the vasculature, chronological aging remains the single most important determinant of ...

This study develops a 3D vascular injury model using a microphysiological system that mimics key features of intimal hyperplasia. Antiproliferative drugs reduced VSMC proliferation but worsened endothelialdenudation. A combination of diphenyleneiodonium and quercetin effectively reduced proliferation and migration of VSMC and inflammation while ...

Syndrome Hutchinson-Gilford (progeria)
Gatchinson-Guildford syndrome or progeria (senile dwarfism) is an extremely rare genetic disease in children with clinical features of premature aging. The frequency of the disease is 1 in 8 million newborns (De Busk. 1972). To date, about 70 patients with this syndrome have been described in world literature. The etiology of progeria is unclear.

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome: A Rare Genetic Disorder
Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare pediatric genetic syndrome with incidence of one per eight million live births. The disorder is characterised by premature aging, generally leading to death at approximately 13.4 years of age. This is
