Altered phosphoinositide metabolism and vascular reactivity in hypertensive rats.

, 1988
The Ca$\\sp{2+}$ messenger system has a central role in mediating vascular smooth muscle contraction. Hence, disorders in this system may underlie the development or maintenance of hypertension. This thesis examined the role of protein kinase C (PKC) and

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Elevated p-Cresyl Sulfate Levels Are Associated with Impaired Endothelial Function in Patients Undergoing Long-Term Peritoneal Dialysis

Life
p-Cresyl sulfate (PCS) is associated with endothelial injury and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, its association with endothelial function in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains unclear.

Serum Adipocyte Fatty Acid-Binding Protein Level is Negatively Associated with Vascular Reactivity Index Measured by Digital Thermal Monitoring in Kidney Transplant Patients

Metabolites, 2019
Adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (A-FABP) is abundantly found in mature adipocytes and is involved in cardiovascular disease. Our aim is to investigate the association between serum A-FABP levels and endothelial function among kidney transplant (KT ...

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Coronary Artery Calcium Progression: A Case Cohort Analysis From ELSA‐Brasil

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective To investigate the association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) prevalence, incidence, and progression over four years in adults without prior cardiovascular disease. Methods A case‐cohort study within the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA‐Brasil) included 585 participants (86 patients with ...

Increment of body mass index is positively correlated with worsening of endothelium-dependent and independent changes in forearm blood flow

Frontiers in Physiology, 2015
Obesity is associated with the impairment of endothelial function leading to the initiation of the atherosclerotic process. We have hypothesized that an increasing impairment of endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell functions occurs from lean ...

Vascular reactivity in experimental hyperaldosteronism.

, 1966
[...] The aim of this work is twofold. Firstly, a tentatively critical review of the mechanisms involved in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle reactivity as a basis for an interpretation of the above mentioned phenomena will be made.

Immunosuppressive Drug Use in Limited Systemic Sclerosis: An International Survey

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Current guidelines recommend immunosuppressive treatment for diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis but are less clear on their use in limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (lcSSc) in the absence of internal organ complications. We conducted an international survey to understand current immunosuppressive drug prescribing patterns in lcSSc ...

The influence of carotid disease on cerebral vascular autoregulation and cerebral vascular reactivity to hypercapnia [PDF]

, 1995
Cerebral vascular reactivity to hypercapnia, assessed using transcranial Doppler ultrasonography of middle cerebral artery blood flow velocity, is used to assess the extent of cerebral blood flow reserve.
