Use of IT tools to search for a correlation between weather factors and onset of pulmonary thromboembolism [PDF]
Pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are gathered in venous thromboembolism (VTE) and represent the third cause of cardiovascular diseases. Recent studies suggest that meteorological parameters as atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity could affect PE incidence but, nowadays, the relationship between these two phenomena is ...

The burden of proof: the current state of atrial fibrillation prevention and treatment trials [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an age-related arrhythmia of enormous socioeconomic significance. In recent years, our understanding of the basic mechanisms that initiate and perpetuate AF has evolved rapidly, catheter ablation of AF has progressed from ...

Risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism: a population-based case-control study.
BACKGROUND Reported risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) vary widely, and the magnitude and independence of each are uncertain. OBJECTIVES To identify independent risk factors for deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism and to estimate the

[68Ga]‐FAPI‐04 PET imaging technique represents a potential method to assess the extent of AA remodeling in vivo and may help to identify candidates at potential risk for rapid AA progression. Abstract Traditional imaging modalities used to monitor the diameter of aortic aneurysms (AAs) often fail to follow pathological progression.

Unilateral pulmonary vein atresia: Literature overview and case report
The unilateral absence of the pulmonary vein, known as pulmonary vein atresia, is a rare type of unilateral pulmonary venous hypoplasia caused by the congenital atrophy of the long pulmonary vein segments in one lung.

Automated segmentation of the pulmonary arteries in low-dose CT by vessel tracking [PDF]
We present a fully automated method for top-down segmentation of the pulmonary arterial tree in low-dose thoracic CT images. The main basal pulmonary arteries are identified near the lung hilum by searching for candidate vessels adjacent to known airways, identified by our previously reported airway segmentation method.

Schematic diagram showing the potential mechanism of bigelovin on the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome Bigelovin may inhibit activated protein C kinase 1 (RACK1) by directly binding with cys168 of RACK1. Bigelovin thus prevents oligomerization of NLRP3 (NLRP3 active conformation) and subsequent assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome, blocking the activation of

This study investigates the role of protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) in endothelial cells (ECs) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mice with endothelial‐specific PRMT1 deletion develop pulmonary hemorrhage, inflammation, and apoptosis, driven by excessive nuclear factor kappa B activation.
