Segmental arterial stiffness in relation to B-type natriuretic peptide with preserved systolic heart function. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Central arterial stiffness has been shown to play a key role in cardiovascular disease. However, evidence regarding such arterial stiffness from various arterial segments in relation to B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) remains elusive.A total of 1255 ...

THE RELATIONSHIP OF KIDNEY FUNCTION WITH ARTERIAL WALL CONDITION IN INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

Клиническая практика, 2017
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, there is a small information about increased risk of CVD already with a slight decrease in kidney function.

Analysis of spatial and temporal variation of precipitable water vapor using COSMIC radio occultation observations over Egypt

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space Sciences, 2022
Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is a meteorological variable that impacts the major atmospheric processes. It is a non-homogeneous variable that differs spatially and temporally.

Urinary Proteomic Profile of Arterial Stiffness Is Associated With Mortality and Cardiovascular Outcomes

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background The underlying mechanisms of arterial stiffness remain not fully understood. This study aimed to identify a urinary proteomic profile to illuminate its pathogenesis and to determine the prognostic value of the profile for adverse outcomes ...

Temporal Analysis of GNSS-Based Precipitable Water Vapor during Rainy Days over the Philippines from 2015 to 2017

Atmosphere, 2022
Precipitable water vapor (PWV) is a parameter used to estimate water vapor content in the atmosphere. In this study, estimates of PWV from PIMO, PLEG and PPPC global navigation satellite system (GNSS) stations are evaluated regarding the PWV obtained ...
