Right Ventricular Function, Peripheral Edema, and Acute Kidney Injury in Critical Illness

Kidney International Reports, 2017
The cardiorenal syndrome generally focuses on left ventricular function, and the importance of the right ventricle as a determinant of renal function is described less frequently. In a cohort of critically ill patients with echocardiographic measurements

Sodium–glucose co‐transporter 2 inhibition with empagliflozin improves cardiac function in non‐diabetic rats with left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction

European Journal of Heart Failure, 2019
Sodium–glucose co‐transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition reduces heart failure hospitalizations in patients with diabetes, irrespective of glycaemic control.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Thyroid hormone levels within reference range are associated with heart rate, cardiac structure, and function in middle-aged men and women [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Triiodothyronine (T3) has many effects on the heart, and marked changes in cardiac function and structure occur in patients with (subclinical) thyroid disease. We investigated whether between-subject variation in thyroid hormone levels within

Improvement of left ventricular systolic function after intervention on right ventricular hemodynamics

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology
Background: The importance of right–left ventricular interactions is increasingly recognized in patients with congenital heart disease. Interventions to improve right ventricular volume/pressure overloading may result in improvement of left ventricular ...

Evaluation of left ventricular function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with or without pulmonary hypertension

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2013
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common entity in clinical practice. Development of right ventricular hypertrophy and eventual right side heart failure is also common in such patients.

Left atrial size in patients with arterial hypertension [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2006
INTRODUCTION Left atrial size is increased in patients with arterial hypertension. Left atrial enlargement represents a risk factor of atrial fibrillation and stroke. Left atrial size depends on the effect of many other etiological factors, predominantly

RaMBat: Accurate identification of medulloblastoma subtypes from diverse data sources with severe batch effects

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
To integrate multiple transcriptomics data with severe batch effects for identifying MB subtypes, we developed a novel and accurate computational method named RaMBat, which leveraged subtype‐specific gene expression ranking information instead of absolute gene expression levels to address batch effects of diverse data sources.
