ABSTRACT Although there are conflicting clinical data on the efficacy of weight reduction in reducing secondary events in patients with comorbid overweight and obesity (OAO) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), there is excellent epidemiological and biological evidence of a cause–effect relationship between OAO, CVD, and other systemic complications ...

Abstract Orthotopic allograft transplantation (OAT) is a significant approach to addressing organ failure. However, persistent immune responses to the allograft affect chronic rejection, which induces OAT vasculopathy (OATV) and organ failure. Porphyromonas gingivalis can infiltrate remote organs via the bloodstream, thereby intensifying the severity ...

Understanding extracellular vesicles in antiaging
Abstract Background Aging is a multifactorial process marked by gradual cellular dysregulation, regulated by hallmarks, including genomic instability, mitochondrial dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, have emerged as pivotal mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication with potential roles in both ...

The theoretical basis of reservoir pressure in arteries
Abstract The separation of measured arterial pressure into a reservoir pressure and an excess pressure was introduced over 20 years ago as a heuristic hypothesis. Since then it has gained some traction through epidemiological studies that show that various measures of reservoir and excess pressure are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
