OSA Initiates Histone Lactylation That Drives PDE4B/FUS/AGT Axis to Pulmonary Hypertension

Cell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study illustrates how chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) leads to hypertension via increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), causing glycolytic dysregulation. Lactate accumulation enhances histone lactylation, upregulating phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B),

Carbon Dioxide Insufflation for Assessment of Pericardial Adhesions and Informed Decision‐Making for Percutaneous Epicardial Access in a Patient With Prior Cardiac Surgery

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
Carbon dioxide insufflation via intentional coronary sinus perforation allowed real‐time assessment of pericardial adhesion distribution before pericardial puncture. Despite localized adhesions, visualization of preserved pericardial space at the intended access site enabled informed procedural planning and safe percutaneous epicardial ablation in a ...
