New Microbes and New Infections, EarlyView., 2014 Abstract We describe a case of fungal keratitis due to Beauveria bassiana in a farmer with Fuchs' dystrophy, treated with amphotericin B. Surgery with penetrating keratoplasty was necessary to resolve the lesions. Susceptibility testing and molecular sequencing permitted the identification and treatment of this rare aetiological agent of invasive ...

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021 Background The determinants and consequences of pulmonary hypertension after successfully corrected valvular heart disease remain poorly understood. We aim to clarify the hemodynamic bases and risk factors for mortality in patients with this condition ...

Outcome in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction: The Role of Myocardial Structure and Right Ventricular Performance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is recognized as a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Thus, a profound understanding of the pathophysiologic changes in HFpEF is needed to identify risk factors and potential ...

Glutaminolysis: A Driver of Vascular and Cardiac Remodeling in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a decimating ailment described by chronic precapillary pulmonary hypertension, an elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure with a normal pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, and a raised pulmonary vascular ...

Physiological Reports, 2023 Exercise imposes increased pulmonary vascular afterload based on rises in pulmonary artery (PA) wedge pressure, declines in PA compliance, and resistance‐compliance time. In health, afterload stress stabilizes during steady‐state exercise.

Pulmonary hypertension associated with left-sided heart disease
Swiss Medical Weekly, 2017 Pulmonary hypertension associated with left-sided heart disease (PH-LHD) is the most common type of pulmonary hypertension. In patients with left-sided heart disease, the presence of pulmonary hypertension is typically a marker of more advanced disease,

4.9 PROPORTIONAL PRESSURE RELATIONS IN THE PULMONARY ARTERIAL SYSTEM
Artery Research, 2016 Background – Objectives: The pulmonary arterial system can be characterized by: 1.A constant product of Pulmonary Vascular Resistance (PVR) and Total Arterial Compliance (TAC) with Tau=PVRxTAC≈0.7 seconds (1).
