Genetic and molecular architecture of familial hypercholesterolemia
Journal of Internal Medicine, Volume 293, Issue 2, Page 144-165, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally. Despite its important risk of premature atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is still largely underdiagnosed worldwide. It is one of the most frequently inherited diseases due to mutations, for autosomal dominant forms, in ...

Asian Journal of Transfusion Science, 2021 Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is characterized by an increase in plasma low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. It presents with tendon/skin xanthomas and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

HDL and plaque regression in a multiphase model of early atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2023 Atherosclerotic plaques are accumulations of cholesterol-engorged macrophages in the artery wall. Plaque growth is initiated and sustained by the deposition of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in the artery wall. High density lipoproteins (HDL) counterbalance the effects of LDL by accepting cholesterol from macrophages and removing it from the plaque. In

Atomistic characterization of the SiO2 high-density liquid/low-density liquid interface [PDF]
, 2022 The equilibrium silica liquid-liquid interface between the high-density liquid (HDL) phase and the low-density liquid (LDL) phase is examined using molecular-dynamics simulation. The structure, thermodynamics, and dynamics within the interfacial region are characterized in detail and compared with previous studies on the liquid-liquid phase transition (

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016 BackgroundApheresis is an important treatment for reducing low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). We systematically reviewed the current literature surrounding LDL‐C apheresis for FH.

Thoroughly analysis of the phase diagram for the Bell-Lavis model: An entropic simulational study [PDF]
, 2020 In this work, we investigate the Bell-Lavis model using entropic simulations for several values of the energy parameters. The $T\times\mu$ phase diagram and the ground state configurations are analyzed thoroughly. Besides, we examine the particle density and specific heat behavior for different values of the chemical potential $\mu$ as functions of ...

Role of lipoprotein apheresis in the management of familial hypercholesterolemia
Global Journal of Transfusion Medicine, 2021 Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder due to a congenital absence of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) that transports cholesterol-carrying lipoprotein particles into cells.
