SGLT2i in heart failure: Cardiorenal mechanisms, clinical evidence and translational perspectives
SGLT2 inhibitors improve heart failure outcomes through integrated cardiorenal mechanisms. In the kidney, they reduce glucose and sodium reabsorption, promoting natriuresis, osmotic diuresis and renal protection. In the heart, they enhance myocardial energetics, reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, fibrosis and adverse remodelling, resulting in fewer

Vaporised etomidate (“space oil”) misuse: A narrative review
Abstract Background Etomidate, a well‐established intravenous induction agent valued for haemodynamic stability, has emerged as a recreational drug via e‐cigarette vaping (“space oil”), particularly in Asia, including Hong Kong, prompting regulatory controls amid rising emergency presentations.

Molecular and Cellular Underpinnings of Primary Hypertension: An Integrative Mechanistic Framework
ABSTRACT Hypertension is a highly prevalent clinical condition and a major contributor to global cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Despite extensive research, its complex and multifaceted pathogenesis is yet to be fully elucidated. This paper explores the updated understanding of primary hypertension as a systemic disorder rather than an isolated

ABSTRACT Background Sarcopenia is common in cirrhosis and is associated with poor outcomes. We aimed to identify factors associated with longitudinal skeletal muscle loss and to explore estimation of future L3 skeletal muscle index (L3‐SMI) using routinely available clinical variables. Methods This retrospective longitudinal study included 175 patients

Cardiac Resynchronization as an Enabler of ARNI Efficacy: Insights From a Real‐World Cohort
CRT provides the mechanical substrate that enables sacubitril/valsartan to maximize reverse remodeling. In this real‐world cohort, ARNI therapy was associated with greater improvement in left ventricular function and fewer clinically validated device‐detected HF events, particularly among CRT responders, supporting a synergistic interaction between ...
