Role of the sympathetic nervous system during the development of obesity-induced hypertension in rabbits [PDF]

, 2017
We have previously reported that weight gain induced by high-fat diet (HFD) leads to an increase in mean arterial pressure (MAP, +14%) and heart rate (HR, +31%) in the adult rabbit.

Identification of Clinical Factors Associated With the Immunogenicity of Homologous ChAdOx1‐nCoV‐19 Vaccine in Hemodialysis Patients

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at higher risk of severe COVID‐19 and may exhibit suboptimal vaccine responses. This study evaluates the factors influencing vaccine‐induced immunity in HD patients following the second dose of the Vaxzevria. A total of 276 HD patients and 126 controls were included. Antibody responses were assessed using binding

Efficacy of CPAP Therapy on Liver Steatosis and Insulin Resistance in Fatty Liver Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A 4‐Year Follow‐Up Cohort Study

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are comorbid conditions that synergistically increase cardiovascular risk through systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard treatment for OSA, its efficacy in improving hepatic ...

Adaptations to iron deficiency: cardiac functional responsiveness to norepinephrine, arterial remodeling, and the effect of beta-blockade on cardiac hypertrophy. [PDF]

, 2002
BackgroundIron deficiency (ID) results in ventricular hypertrophy, believed to involve sympathetic stimulation. We hypothesized that with ID 1) intravenous norepinephrine would alter heart rate (HR) and contractility, 2) abdominal aorta would be larger ...

Modified Sleep Apnea Severity Index and Cardiovascular Risk in CPAP‐Intolerant OSA Patients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The modified sleep apnea severity index (mSASI) combines patient anatomy, weight, sleep study metrics, and symptoms into a composite OSA index ranging from 1 (least severe) to 3 (most severe). Our study found that mSASI correlated better with baseline cardiovascular risk measured by the 5‐year Framingham Risk Score compared to the AHI.

The Role of Central Oxytocin in Autonomic Regulation

Journal of Physiological Investigation
Oxytocin (OXT), a neuropeptide originating from the hypothalamus and traditionally associated with peripheral functions in parturition and lactation, has emerged as a pivotal player in the central regulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS).

The Hidden Burden of Hemifacial Spasm: A Systematic Review of Non‐Motor Symptoms

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a chronic neurological disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of facial muscles. Traditionally regarded as a motor condition, HFS encompasses a spectrum of non‐motor symptoms that are often overlooked but significantly affect patients’ quality of life.

Exocrine Gland Dysfunction in Parkinson's Disease: Pathophysiology, Clinical Manifestations, and Therapeutic Perspectives—A Narrative Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐motor symptoms, especially autonomic dysfunction, are major contributors to disability and decreased quality of life in Parkinson's disease (PD). Despite being common and having a wide range of clinical facets, exocrine gland dysfunction is still not well recognized and managed.
