Sleep Deprivation Alters T Cell Dynamics: Melatonin as a Restorative Agent

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep is an essential physiological function regulated by circadian rhythm and homeostatic regulation for emotional and physical health. Conversely, sleep deprivation (SD) is associated with weakened immune system function and overall health, which potentially leads to chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

Splenic Infarct Masquerading as Myocardial Infarction

Cureus
Splenic infarction is an uncommon cause of abdominal pain. Diabetes increases the risk of blood vessel occlusion and consequent tissue infarction due to blood vessel abnormalities such as atherosclerosis or thrombosis. Systemic thromboembolism secondary to myocardial infarction is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality.

Porphyromonas gingivalis GroEL accelerates abdominal aortic aneurysm formation by matrix metalloproteinase‐2 SUMOylation in vascular smooth muscle cells: A novel finding for the activation of MMP‐2

Molecular Oral Microbiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Infection is a known cause of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and matrix metalloproteases‐2 (MMP‐2) secreted by vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) plays a key role in the structural disruption of the middle layer of the arteries during AAA progression.

Role of special coagulation studies for preoperative screening of thrombotic complications in simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation [PDF]

, 2015
Background: Vascular thrombosis is a well-known complication after simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation procedures. The role of preoperative special coagulation studies to screen patients at high risk for vascular thrombosis is unclear and ...

Establishment of a mouse model for ischaemic heart failure induced by coronary microembolization via left ventricular oil injection

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Over the past three decades, there has been a steady increase in clinical attention to ischaemic heart failure caused by coronary microembolization. Nonetheless, a suitable mouse model for studying this condition remains limited. In the present study, we developed a mouse model of coronary microembolization‐induced ischaemic heart failure by ...

EuroSCORE II: Current limitations and physiological gaps in risk stratification

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Risk stratification remains critical in cardiac surgery, enabling clinicians to predict adverse outcomes and guide perioperative management. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II, introduced in 2011, incorporates 18 key variables to provide an evidence‐based approach to risk assessment.
