The role of Tei index as an early predictor for evaluating experimental uremic cardiomyopathy model [PDF]
Background Uremic cardiomyopathy (UCM) remains the leading cause of cardiovascular mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Experimental animal models serve as essential tools for elucidating the potential mechanism underlying UCM ...

The applications and limitations of the Tei index
The Tei index is a non-invasive Doppler echocardiographic indicator of systolic and diastolic myocardial function. It is calculated as the sum of the isovolumic contraction time and the isovolumic relaxation time divided by the ejection time.

Tei Index Is the Best Echocardiographic Parameter for Assessing Right Ventricle Function in Patients With Unrepaired Congenital Heart Diseases With Outflow Tract Obstruction [PDF]
Objective: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cardiac catheterization are diagnostic tools for right ventricle dysfunction (RVD), but those are expensive and often unavailable techniques.

Association Between Dietary Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) and Pancreatic Fat Accumulation: Evidence From a Case-Control Study. [PDF]
Higher dietary intake of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) was associated with higher odds of pancreatic steatosis in this case–control sample of gallstone patients. ABSTRACT Background Pancreatic steatosis (PS) is a metabolic condition associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and fatty liver disease.

Estrogen Deprivation During Primate (Papio anubis) Pregnancy: Impact on Systemic Microvascular Flow and Cardiovascular Development and Function After Birth in Offspring. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Suppressing estradiol (E2) during baboon pregnancy lowers offspring skeletal muscle capillary density, vital for insulin‐mediated glucose uptake, and induces insulin resistance. We examined whether E2 deprivation also impairs microvascular flow and cardiac function.
