Antihypertensive treatment during pregnancy induces long-term changes in gut microbiota and the behaviors of the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder offspring
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2024 Apr 26:116946. doi: 10.1016/j.taap.2024.116946. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe pathogenesis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has not been fully elucidated. Gestational hypertension could double the probability of ADHD in the offspring, while the initial bacterial communication between the mother and offspring has been associated with psychiatric disorders. Thus, we hypothesize that antihypertensive treatment during pregnancy may abate the impairments in neurodevelopment of the offspring. To test this hypothesis, we chose Captopril and Labetalol, to apply to pregnant spontan...

Awareness of having hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia among US adults: The 2011-2018 NHANES data
CONCLUSIONS: Large proportions of US adults with hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetes are not aware of having the conditions. Interventions targeting groups at higher risk of being unaware of these conditions are needed.PMID:38679806 | DOI:10.1177/14034948241247612 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health)

Fennel seeds extract prevents fructose-induced cardiac dysfunction in a rat model of metabolic syndrome via targeting abdominal obesity, hyperuricemia and NF- κβ inflammatory pathway
CONCLUSION: Findings could suggest FSE as a complementary supplement for preventing MetS and associated cardiac outcomes. However, well controlled clinical studies are still needed.PMID:38678740 | DOI:10.1016/j.tice.2024.102385 (Source: Tissue and Cell)

Interoceptive signals from the heart and coronary circulation in health and disease
Auton Neurosci. 2024 Apr 24;253:103180. doi: 10.1016/j.autneu.2024.103180. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis review considers interoceptive signalling from the heart and coronary circulation. Vagal and cardiac sympathetic afferent sensory nerve endings are distributed throughout the atria, ventricles (mainly left), and coronary artery. A small proportion of cardiac receptors attached to thick myelinated vagal afferents are tonically active during the cardiac cycle. Dependent upon location, these mechanoreceptors detect fluctuations in atrial volume and coronary arterial perfusion. Atrial volume and coronary arterial signa...

Investigation of the Association between Bilateral Selective Anterograde Cerebral Perfusion and Postoperative Ischemic Stroke in Obese Patients with Emergency Surgery for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection
Conclusions: A patient-tailored strategy for cerebral perfusion should be considered in obese patients, considering the high atheromatous burden of the supra-aortic vessels in these patients and the potential risk of atheromatous embolization associated with this technique.PMID:38674307 | PMC:PMC11052173 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040661 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

Noninvasive Ambulatory Electrocardiographic Markers from Patients with COVID-19 Pneumonia: A Report of Three Cases
Medicina (Kaunas). 2024 Apr 19;60(4):655. doi: 10.3390/medicina60040655.ABSTRACTCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected medical practice. More than 7,000,000 patients died worldwide after being infected with COVID-19; however, no specific laboratory markers have yet been established to predict death related to this disease. In contrast, electrocardiographic changes due to COVID-19 include QT prolongation and ST-T changes; however, there have not been studies on the ambulatory electrocardiographic markers of COVID-19. We encountered three patients diagnosed as having COVID-19 who did not have a prior history of sig...

Treatment Nonadherence among Multimorbid Chronic Disease Patients: Evidence from 3515 Subjects in Indonesia
Conclusions: While the prevalence of multimorbidity in Indonesia is generally similar to that observed in previous studies, we have identified patient characteristics related to nonadherence. We suggest that patient's nonadherence was primarily dictated by their self-perception of health and treatment complexity. With the longstanding issue of nonadherence, this study indicated the need to consider creating patient-tailored treatment programs in clinical practice to improve adherence by considering individual patients' characteristics.PMID:38674280 | PMC:PMC11052292 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040634 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

SARS-Cov-2 Infection: A New Risk Factor for Pituitary Apoplexy?
CONCLUSION: Alongside known risk factors (hypertension, anticoagulation, pregnancy, surgery, etc.), COVID-19 infection might represent an emerging predisposing factor for PA onset. The two cases hereby presented are both significant: the first confirms the role of "classic" vascular predisposing factors for PA, while the second demonstrates that PA might arise also in young patients without known risk factors.PMID:38676521 | DOI:10.2174/0118715303315494240419060719 (Source: Endocrine, Metabolic and Immune Disorders Drug Targets)

A Case Report of Salmonella enterica Meningitis in an Infant: A Rare Entity not to Forget

Novel Leptin-Cardiac TRH pathway responsible for the cardiac alterations in the Hyperleptinemic obesity
Mol Cell Biochem. 2024 Apr 27. doi: 10.1007/s11010-024-05008-x. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe association between hypertension and obesity-induced cardiac damage is usually accepted. However, no studies have been focused on cardiac alterations in obesity, independently of blood pressure increase. It is well known that Cardiac TRH induces Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) and fibrosis, and its inhibition prevents the development of hypertrophy. Also, it has been described that the adiponectin leptin induces TRH expression. Thus, we hypothesized that in obesity, the increase in TRH induced by hyperleptinemia is responsi...

Impression life with pulmonary hypertension: clinically relevant characteristics and quality of life among patients in Gansu, China
CONCLUSION: HRQoL was substantially reduced among PAH patients in the resource-limited area, mainly the physiological functions. WHO-FC and anxiety scores were independently associated with both PCS and MCS in SF-36. Clinicians should make reasonable rehabilitation programs and plans for patients according to their cardiac function grade and the severity of clinical symptoms. In addition, psychological interventions should also be taken, especially for those with anxiety symptoms, so as to improve their HRQoL.PMID:38676370 | PMC:PMC11055475 | DOI:10.1177/17534666241246428 (Source: Adv Data)

The short and long-term efficacy of nurse-led interventions for improving blood pressure control in people with hypertension in primary care settings: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Nurse-led interventions may be more effective than usual care for achieving BP control at long-term follow-up. It is important to continue lifestyle modification for people with hypertension. We must pay attention to adverse events, and more studies examining appropriate BP targets are needed. Nurse-led care represents an important complement to primary physician-led usual care.PMID:38678180 | PMC:PMC11056068 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-024-02380-x (Source: Primary Care)
