Transthyretin amyloidosis [PDF]

Nursing, 2020
Abstract: Cardiac amyloidosis is a poorly understood cause of heart failure and is often undiagnosed. Recent advances in diagnostic testing and understanding of the disease have enhanced the ability of clinicians to detect this disease and provide patients with appropriate treatment.

Ultra High-Resolution Ultrasound Features of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Transthyretin Amyloidosis: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]

Muscle Nerve
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), including hereditary (hATTR) and wild‐type (wtATTR), often presents initially as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), often preceding systemic symptoms by several years. Ultra high‐resolution ultrasound (UHRUS) offers detailed visualization of peripheral nerve morphology, but its application in ATTR‐

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis

Cardiovascular Research, 2022
AbstractTransthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is an increasingly recognized cause of heart failure (HF) and mortality worldwide. Advances in non-invasive diagnosis, coupled with the development of effective treatments, have shifted ATTR-CA from a rare and untreatable disease to a relatively prevalent condition that clinicians should consider on a

TNF receptor–related factor 3 inactivation promotes the development of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma through NF‐κB‐inducing kinase–mediated hepatocyte transdifferentiation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Background and Aims Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a deadly but poorly understood disease, and its treatment options are very limited. The aim of this study was to identify the molecular drivers of ICC and search for therapeutic targets.

Restrictive Atrial Dysfunction in Cardiac Amyloidosis: Differences between Immunoglobulin Light Chain and Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis Patients

Biomedicines, 2022
Background: In cardiac amyloidosis, the prevalence of thromboembolic events and atrial fibrillation is higher in transthyretin amyloidosis compared to immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis.

Uncovering the Mechanism of Aggregation of Human Transthyretin. [PDF]

, 2015
The tetrameric thyroxine transport protein transthyretin (TTR) forms amyloid fibrils upon dissociation and monomer unfolding. The aggregation of transthyretin has been reported as the cause of the life-threatening transthyretin amyloidosis.

Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis.

Medicine and pharmacy reports, 2021
Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) may be an under recognized cause of heart failure (HF). TTR amyloidosis can be inherited, caused by variants in the TTR gene (ATTRv) or by deposition of wild-type TTR protein (ATTRwt), leading to high mortality if untreated.

EGCG-Mediated Protection of Transthyretin Amyloidosis by Stabilizing Transthyretin Tetramers and Disrupting Transthyretin Aggregates

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023
Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) is a progressive and systemic disease caused by the misfolding and amyloid aggregation of transthyretin (TTR). Stabilizing the TTR tetramers and disrupting the formed TTR aggregation are treated as a promising strategy for the treatment of ATTR.

Rapid Diagnostic Algorithms as a Screening Tool for Tuberculosis: An Assessor Blinded Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]

, 2012
Background: A major obstacle to effectively treat and control tuberculosis is the absence of an accurate, rapid, and low-cost diagnostic tool. A new approach for the screening of patients for tuberculosis is the use of rapid diagnostic classification ...
