BACKGROUND: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) features elevated oxidative stress and accelerated atherosclerosis driven by elevated levels of atherogenic lipoproteins relative to subnormal levels of atheroprotective high-density lipoprotein (HDL). S...
BACKGROUND: The clinically used methods of pain diagnosis do not allow for objective and robust measurement, and physicians must rely on the patient's report on the pain sensation. Verbal scales, visual analog scales (VAS) or numeric rating scales (N...
