The prognostic value of clinical frailty scale and outcomes in older patients undergoing left ventricular assist device implantation

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 257-263, December 2022., 2022
The main finding in our study is that Clinical Frailty Scale‐defined frailty status was predictive of 1‐year post‐interventional mortality after left ventricular assist device implantation. Abstract Objectives Heart failure impacts patients’ functional capabilities, ultimately leading to frailty.

Low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound improves myocardial ischaemia‒reperfusion injury via migrasome‐mediated mitocytosis

open access: yesClinical and Translational Medicine
During myocardial ischaemia‒reperfusion injury (MIRI), the accumulation of damaged mitochondria could pose serious threats to the heart. The migrasomes, newly discovered mitocytosis‐mediating organelles, selectively remove damaged mitochondria to provide

A Novel Protein NAB1‐356 Encoded by circRNA circNAB1 Mitigates Atrial Fibrillation by Reducing Inflammation and Fibrosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The circRNA circNAB1 is downregulated in AF patient. Silencing circNAB1 promotes collagen deposition and inflammation, whereas overexpression reduces AF susceptibility. circNAB1 encodes the protein NAB1 356 that interacts with EGR1 to mitigate fibrosis and inflammation.

Prescription analgesic overuse in older adults: Can we mitigate this growing problem?

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 294-296, December 2022., 2022
With older adults already on numerous prescription medications to manage their chronic conditions, the addition of pain medications could impose an even greater burden due to dependency issues. We need to understand the use of chronic pain medication, especially opioids, discuss current strategies and gaps, and offer potential solutions to mitigate ...

P21‐Activated Kinase 2 as a Novel Target for Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias Associated with Cardiac Adrenergic Stress and Hypertrophy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ca2+/calmodulin‐dependent kinase II (CaMKII) activation is likely driven by oxidative stress, particularly excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. This study identifies P21‐activated kinase 2 (Pak2) as a novel regulator of ROS‐induced CaMKII activation and abnormal Ca2⁺ dynamics in acute adrenergic and chronic pressure‐overload stressed ...

A pilot randomized controlled trial of WeiNaoKang (SaiLuoTong) in treating vascular dementia

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, Volume 5, Issue 4, Page 246-256, December 2022., 2022
A 16‐week randomized double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial for vascular dementia was carried out with WeiNaoKang (or SaiLuoTong). There were significant differences in improvement in cognitive function and activities of daily living, favouring the treatment group.

Instrumental Variables with Time-Varying Exposure: New Estimates of Revascularization Effects on Quality of Life [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
The ISCHEMIA Trial randomly assigned patients with ischemic heart disease to an invasive treatment strategy centered on revascularization with a control group assigned non-invasive medical therapy. As is common in such ``strategy trials,'' many participants assigned to treatment remained untreated while many assigned to control crossed over into ...
