Reduced blood EPAC1 protein levels as a marker of severe coronary artery disease: the role of hypoxic foam cell-transformed smooth muscle cells.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: Vascular smooth muscle cells loaded with cholesterol (foam-VSMCs) play a crucial role in the progression of human atherosclerosis. Exchange Protein Directly Activated by cAMP 1 (EPAC1) is a critical protein in the regulation of vascular t...

Splenic and portal venous flow associated with frailty and sarcopenia in older outpatients with cardiovascular disease.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: Older patients with cardiovascular disease often experience frailty and sarcopenia. We evaluated whether a reduced blood flow in the splenic and portal vein is associated with frailty and sarcopenia in older patients with cardiovascular d...

Anti-HBs persistence and anamnestic response among medical interns vaccinated in infancy.

Scientific reports
Medical interns are at high risk of acquiring Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection during their training. HBV vaccination is the most effective measure to reduce the global incidence of HBV. The duration of protection after HBV vaccination is still cont...

Water intake, hydration status and cognitive functions in older adults - a pilot study.

European journal of nutrition
PURPOSE: This study aimed to assess the relationship between the hydration status and cognitive functioning of older adults. The novelty of the study was the simultaneous use of several indicators of hydration status, including plasma and urine osmol...

Improving lower-extremity artery depiction and diagnostic confidence using dual-energy technique and popliteal artery monitoring in dual-low dose CT angiography.

Scientific reports
To assess the utility of dual-energy CT scanning (DECTs) with popliteal artery (PA) monitoring in dual low-dose (radiation and contrast) lower-extremity CT angiography (LE-CTA). 135 patients undergoing LE-CTA were prospectively included and divided i...

Semen collection, semen analysis and artificial insemination in the kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) to support its conservation.

PloS one
The critically endangered kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) has suffered population declines due to habitat loss, hunting, and predation. Conservation efforts, including translocation to predator-free islands, have helped increase numbers of this flightl...

Development and validation of a collaborative framework for assessment of peripheral facial paralysis using facial image regions of interest.

Acta oto-laryngologica
BACKGROUND: While accurate evaluation of PFP is crucial for determining optimal treatment strategies, current clinical assessments rely heavily on subjective evaluations, leading to considerable variability between inter- and intra-observer ratings.

Gait Characteristics Associated with Walking Speed in Postoperative Patients with Adult Spinal Deformity Extracted by Machine Learning.

Annals of biomedical engineering
PURPOSE: Patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) are unable to walk faster even after spinal fixation. Gait rehabilitation that focuses on movements associated with reduced speed may help improve gait function. This study aimed to identify the gai...

Evaluation of endometrial vascular flow index and echogenicity following experimental induction of subclinical endometritis in dairy cows.

Scientific reports
This study was conducted aiming to investigate impacts of experimentally induced endometritis on the vascular perfusion and echogenicity of the endometrium in dairy cows. Following estrus synchronization and applying cytological and bacteriological e...

A correlational study of plasma galectin-3 as a potential predictive marker of postoperative delirium in patients with acute aortic dissection.

Scientific reports
This study aimed to demonstrate whether plasma galectin-3 could predict the development of postoperative delirium (POD) in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD). Prospective, observational study. Cardiac surgery intensive care unit. Consecutive...
