Aspiration of superabsorbent polymer beads in a 2‐year‐old Boston terrier
Abstract This case report describes the first documented instance of a dog aspirating a superabsorbent polymer bead, commonly marketed as Orbeez, and its successful removal. Superabsorbent polymers are widely used in children's toys and decorative products, and they possess the ability to expand significantly in water.

Proximal Pulmonary Artery Stiffening as a Biomarker of Cardiopulmonary Aging
Mouse models revealed age‐associated increased circumferential stiffness of the proximal pulmonary artery that was associated with reorientation of collagen and decreased function of the lung and right ventricle. Age‐related transcriptional changes were indicative of senescence, ECM turnover, TGFβ signaling, and altered intercellular signaling among ...

Hemodynamic changes in pregnancies with impaired fetal growth: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Maternal cardiovascular adaptation is altered in pregnancies complicated by impaired fetal growth. From the second trimester onwards, lower cardiac output and increased total peripheral vascular resistance emerge, highlighting the need for early hemodynamic monitoring and potential interventions in at‐risk pregnancies.

Abstract Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active visceral fat depot located between the myocardium and the visceral pericardium, exerting direct paracrine and vasocrine effects on the heart and coronary vessels. Under physiological conditions, EAT supports myocardial energy metabolism and thermoregulation through fatty acid supply and

Abstract Heart failure (HF) with a mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF; 40%–49%) is present in ≤25% of HF patients. Therapeutic treatment options for HFmrEF‐associated exercise intolerance are limited. Nitric oxide (NO)‐independent stimulation of soluble guanylyl cyclase to improve peripheral vasodilatation offers a novel approach to enhance ...
