The characteristics of collagen‐induced rheumatoid arthritis in macaques and the changes of heart

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The disease progression in CIA macaques was categorized into three stages: IIR (days 14–34): The indicators related to rheumatoid arthritis and the levels of immunoglobulin were all elevated. There was a small amount of joint effusion, edema and mild synovial hyperplasia. No joint swelling was observed by naked eye.

Left ventricular torsion rate and the relation to right ventricular function in pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension

Pulmonary Circulation, 2018
The right ventricle and left ventricle are physically coupled through the interventricular septum. Therefore, changes in the geometry and mechanics of one ventricle can directly affect the function of the other.

Morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve: New insights for comparative studies in mammals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

Left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in septic shock

Intensive Care Medicine, 1997
The identification of myocardial dysfunction in septic shock has not yet been fully elucidated. We therefore studied patients with persistently vasopressor-dependent septic shock, both with invasive haemodynamic monitoring and transoesophageal two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography (TEE).Prospective study.General ICU in University Hospital.All ...

Cytokine Pathways Driving Diverse Tissue Pathologies in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex systemic disorder characterized primarily by articular inflammation and destruction with associated functional loss and reduced quality of life. RA is also associated with extra‐articular disease, such as that of the lung, with potentially devastating clinical consequences. The critical importance of comorbidities,
