This study evaluates the role of elastin in vascular response 28 days after balloon angioplasty using uncoated and paclitaxel‐coated balloons in a healthy porcine model. The results show higher elastin content in external femoral arteries, which is inversely correlated with vascular injury, inflammation, smooth muscle cell loss, proteoglycan and fibrin

Characterizing Allegheny County Opioid Overdoses with an Interactive Data Explorer and Synthetic Prediction Tool [PDF]
The United States has an opioid epidemic, and Pennsylvania's Allegheny County is among the worst. This motivates a deeper exploration of what characterizes the epidemic, such as what are risk factors for people who ultimately overdose and die due to opioids.

A mouse model of lung ischemia–reperfusion injury with reversible left hilar entrapment
A Novel Reversible Left Hilar Entrapment Model for Mouse Lung Ischemia‐Reperfusion Injury with Visual Tracheal Intubation and Live Knot Technique. Abstract Lung ischemia–reperfusion injury (LIRI), an acute lung injury syndrome triggered by lung transplantation or distal organ ischemia, has long been a difficult and hot issue in clinical research.

The antioxidant efficacy of Colocasia esculenta flower’s methanolic extract was assessed using 2,2′‐azino‐bis‐(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic) (ABTS) and 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging assay. The hepatoprotective effect was investigated by assessing liver injury indicators (amino transferase [ALT], aspartate amino transferase [AST],
