Debiased Inference on Heterogeneous Quantile Treatment Effects with Regression Rank-Scores [PDF]
Understanding treatment effect heterogeneity is vital to many scientific fields because the same treatment may affect different individuals differently. Quantile regression provides a natural framework for modeling such heterogeneity. We propose a new method for inference on heterogeneous quantile treatment effects in the presence of high-dimensional ...

Coronary artery bypass surgery with arterial grafts in familial hypercholesterolemia [PDF]
Objective: Familial hypercholesterolemia is a dominantly inherited disorder caused by mutations at the locus for the low-density lipoprotein receptor and is frequently associated with premature coronary artery disease.

Hypercholesterolemia and inflammation—Cooperative cardiovascular risk factors
Abstract Background Maintaining low concentrations of plasma low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) over time decreases the number of LDL particles trapped within the artery wall, slows the progression of atherosclerosis and delays the age at which mature atherosclerotic plaques develop.

Effect of hypertension on low-density lipoprotein transport within a multi-layered arterial wall: modelling consistent with experiments [PDF]
The influence of hypertension on low-density lipoproteins intake into the arterial wall is an important factor for understanding mechanisms of atherosclerosis. It has been experimentally observed that the increased pressure leads to the higher level of the LDL inside the wall.

Background: Recent studies have indicated that cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) is closely linked to dyslipidemia and early‐onset coronary artery disease (EOCAD). This study is aimed at investigating the impacts of CD36 gene variants on lipid profiles and EOCAD risk.

Modelling the inflammatory process in atherosclerosis: a nonlinear renewal equation [PDF]
We present here a population structured model to describe the dynamics of macrophage cells. The model involves the interactions between modified LDL, monocytes/macrophages, cytokines and foam cells. The key assumption is that the individual macrophage dynamics depends on the amount of lipoproteins it has internalized.

Background: Severe hypertriglyceridemia (triglycerides (TGs) >1000 mg/dL, >11.3 mmol/L) is a rare but potentially morbid condition in pregnancy. Physiological changes in pregnancy may unmask or exacerbate an underlying defect in TG metabolism. When conventional therapies are ineffective in controlling TG levels, a personalized management approach is ...

Lipid-Apheresis Improves Microcirculation of the Upper Limbs [PDF]
Mit Lipid-Apherese (LA) ist es möglich die Mikrozirkulation zu verbessern. Wir haben die Mikrozirkulation der oberen Extremitäten von 22 Patienten vor und nach wöchentlicher LA untersucht.
