The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Asymptomatic Giant Right Ventricular Myxoma in an Adolescent: A Rare Case Report With Favorable Surgical Outcome

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
We report a 13‐year‐old female with a giant right ventricular myxoma extending to the pulmonary trunk. The tumor was diagnosed by multimodal imaging and completely resected, with favorable short‐term outcomes. ABSTRACT Right ventricular (RV) myxomas account for < 5% of cardiac myxomas and are often asymptomatic, easily overlooked.

Gene Transfer of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide Inhibits Macrophages and Inflammatory Mediators in Vein Graft Disease

, 2008
Vein graft disease is a chronic inflammatory disease and limits the late results of coronary revascularization. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) inhibits macrophages infiltrated and inflammatory mediators, we hypothesized that transfected CGRP gene

Comparative diagnostic accuracy study of point of care ultrasound techniques for detection of left atrial enlargement by hospital medicine physicians from archived echocardiogram images

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Left atrial enlargement (LAE) is predictive of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Prior studies of point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) interpretation methods for identifying LAE utilized older echocardiographic reference ranges. Objectives Compare the test characteristics of hospitalist‐performed POCUS techniques for identifying ...
