Serum chemokines combined with multi-modal imaging to evaluate atherosclerotic plaque stability in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy

Frontiers in Neurology
BackgroundAlthough imaging tools are crucial in identifying features of atherosclerotic plaque, there remains a lack of consensus on the use of serological markers for assessing high-risk plaques.MethodsPatients diagnosed with CAS who met the criteria ...

The Aging Gut–Brain Axis: Effects of Dietary Polyphenols and Metal Exposure

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
The influence of gut microbiota on brain health ABSTRACT Diet provides essential metals, which are required for the growth, development, and well‐functioning of the body. Nonetheless, some natural and human activities add toxic heavy metals to the diet, consequently introducing them to our bodies, resulting in several disorders and death. The intestine,

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Connecting the dots: A narrative review of the relationship between heart failure and cognitive impairment

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1119-1131, April 2025.
Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...

Simultaneous Visualization of the Carotid and Subclavian Arteries Using Non–Contrast‐Enhanced MR Angiography With a 3D Fast Field Echo Sequence and Time‐Spatial Labeling Inversion Pulse: A Comparison With 3D Time‐of‐Flight MR Angiography

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Carotid artery stenosis is a major cause of stroke. Non‐contrast MR angiography (MRA) using time‐spatial labeling inversion pulse (Time‐SLIP) may offer potential advantages over 3D time‐of‐flight (TOF)‐MRA for simultaneous visualization of carotid, vertebral, and subclavian arteries, but remains uninvestigated.
