Cardiovascular Consequences of Acute Kidney Injury
Annotations Acute kidney injury (AKI) is recognized as a potential risk factor for future cardiovascular events, especially heart failure. Up to 60% of patients with severe AKI who are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) die; the long-term risk of death associated with AKI is also increased. Preclinical models and biomarkers have identified several likely pathways, apparently involving ...

Abstract 9761: Novel Modulators of Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor Metabolism
Abstract Intervention with drugs to reduce Low Density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) has proven to decrease the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events, including mortality. Our goal is to develop novel, small molecule, LDL-C lowering drugs by targeting the Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR) degradation pathway, which is modulated by the protease proprotein convertase subtilisin-like ...

Will Metformin Be Replaced By SGLT-2 Inhibitors
Metformin is a classic first-line hypoglycemic agent for patients with type 2 diabetes, and is an essential drug in combination regimenes. However, as the evidence is updated, the idea of drug selection for first-line treatment is changing. GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors in combination with or without metformin (as required for glycemic management) have also been recommended by multiple ...

Huateng Pharma Develops Intermediates of Semaglutide For TD2
According to the latest IDF Diabetes map, the global prevalence of diabetes reached 10.5% in 2021, with 537 million adults living with diabetes. China has become a disaster zone for diabetes, with the largest number of adults with diabetes in the world. In the past 10 years (2011-2021), the number of people with diabetes in China increased from 90 million to 140 million, an increase of 56%. The ...

Five Year Outcomes in Patients with End Stage Renal Disease Who Received a Bioengineered Human Acellular Vessel for Dialysis Access
Objective: Patients with end stage renal failure who require haemodialysis suffer morbidity and mortality due to vascular access. Bioengineered human acellular vessels (HAVs) may provide a haemodialysis access option with fewer complications than other grafts. In a prospective phase II trial from 2012 to 2014 (NCT01744418), HAVs were implanted into 40 haemodialysis patients at three sites in ...

Peptides for Osteoporosis Research
Introduction to OsteoporosisOsteoporosis is a systemic multi-causal skeletal disease that is prone to fractures due to changes in systemic bone mass and microstructure of bone tissue, resulting in increased bone fragility. Osteoporosis is a type of disease that is difficult to cure. According to the etiology, it can be divided into primary osteoporosis, secondary osteoporosis and idiopathic ...

In Silico Development of Combinatorial Therapeutic Approaches Targeting Key Signaling Pathways in Metabolic Syndrome
Purpose Dysregulations of key signaling pathways in metabolic syndrome are multifactorial, eventually leading to cardiovascular events. Hyperglycemia in conjunction with dyslipidemia induces insulin resistance and provokes release of proinflammatory cytokines resulting in chronic inflammation, accelerated lipid peroxidation with further development of atherosclerotic alterations and diabetes. We ...

Landmark study confirms that controlled blood pressure is key to prevent stroke, heart disease
Follow-up data from the landmark SPRINT study of the effect of high blood pressure on cardiovascular disease have confirmed that aggressive blood pressure management — lowering systolic blood pressure to less than 120 mm Hg — dramatically reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, and death from these diseases, as well as death from all causes, compared to lowering ...

LimFlow Percutaneous Deep Venous Arterialization
What interested you in LimFlow, and how did you get involved in the PROMISE I trial? Dr. Clair: Practicing vascular surgery, where a number of patients are evaluated for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), you are guaranteed to have patients who are not candidates for percutaneous or surgical revascularization. These patients often have arterial systems open or identifiable to the ankle, ...
