In soft tissues like arteries, unregulated hydroxyapatite accumulation leads to vascular calcification, a pathological condition associated with atherosclerosis, diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and aging. Studies in MGP-knockout mice have shown extensive arterial calcification and premature death, underscoring the importance of this ...
A New Drug to Reduce Heart Attacks and Strokes The newly approved drug Sotagliflozin (Inpefa) has shown promise in reducing heart attacks and strokes among patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. It works as a dual SGLT1 and SGLT2 inhibitor, helping to regulate blood sugar levels while also protecting the heart. ...
MMPs are involved in pathological processes such as hypertension, eclampsia, vascular inflammation, atherosclerosis, coronary syndromes and myocardial infarction, cerebral ischemia and ischemic stroke, peripheral arterial disease, aneurysms, chronic venous disease, etc. MMPs can be used as biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for certain ...
GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors in combination with or without metformin (as required for glycemic management) have also been recommended by multiple guidelines as appropriate initial treatment for type 2 diabetes patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or those at high risk for ASCVD, heart failure and/or chronic kidney ...
These include: Atrial fibrillation (Afib) Coronary artery disease Diabetes High blood pressure (hypertension) Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) Obesity Chronic kidney disease Amyloidosis or other infiltrative heart diseases What are the symptoms of diastolic heart failure? ...
This condition may be due age or might be due some chronic conditions like Diabetes mellitus (DM) or chronic kidney disease (CKD). ...
Mice have long served as the species of interest for biomedical research thanks to their genetic, physiological, and anatomical similarity to humans. Mice kidney samples are used to study renal biology covering topics such as acute kidney injury to chronic kidney disease, both of which are extremely useful for ...
In this current Covid-19 climate that we are living in, we are all facing challenges that we have never dealt with before. Individuals with chronic wounds (diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous ulcers, arterial ulcers, etc.) commonly have other chronic conditions – typically type 2 diabetes, hypertension, venous insufficiency, peripheral arterial ...
Around 37 million people in the United States and around 700 million people worldwide have chronic kidney disease which require patients to utilize dialysis centers. ...
They may have a lot of comorbidities—such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, end-stage renal disease—and they’re complex cases. ...
Our goal was that by integrating clinical risk factors known to influence clopidogrel response (age, body mass index, Chronic Kidney Disease, and Diabetes Mellitus) with the CYP2C19 genetic factor into a score, we can improve the precision of guided de-escalation for P2Y12 inhibitor therapy such that this can be safely performed in ...
If is about an EPA – Registered herbicide that has been linked to kidney disease. This story demonstrates the extent that entities will go to protext their commercial interests. ...
The use of a novel implantable string subcutaneous defibrillator (ISSD, Newpace) that has no can, and has been designed to be placed without the need for a surgical pocket, may allow improved patient compliance and aesthetics, is less invasive, and has optimal implantation time. The results from a first-in-man feasibility study on subcutaneous defibrillation utilising an integrated flexible ...
Keywords: Arteriovenous fistula, Haemodialysis, Patency, Maturation, Meta-analysis Introduction The use of chronic haemodialysis (HD) as renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) is a prevalent practice worldwide and in the USA, and HD accounts for approximately 63% of RRT.1 The US Renal Data System estimated that there ...
This case study discusses hospital readmissions and provides healthcare professionals with recommended medical algorithms in the form of scores, models, and calculators that can aid in reducing readmissions, especially when related to antibiotic resistant microbiological pathogens. When health analytics, such as the CDC antibiotic resistance program and other algorithms are integrated into ...
If you think it’s hard to get HVAC money for schools and similar public buildings, there is a harder nut to crack: correctional facilities. It can be even more difficult to get additional funds appropriated to improve conditions in buildings where people are incarcerated. Compounding the problem, many correctional facility employees are in close proximity with the inmate community daily. ...
