Circadian Rhythms in Cardiovascular Function: Implications for Cardiac Diseases and Therapeutic Opportunities
The objective of this review is to unravel the relationship between circadian rhythms and cardiovascular health. By understanding this intricate interplay, we aim to reveal the potential risks of circadian disruption and discuss the emerging therapeutic strategies, specifically those targeting circadian rhythms. In this review, we explore the important role of circadian rhythms in cardiovascular physiology and highlight the role they play in cardiac dysfunction such as ventricular hypertrophy, arrhythmia, diabetes, and myocardial infarction. Finally, we review potential translational treatments aimed at circadian rhythms. ...

Trends in Hospitalization Duration for Rare Diseases: A Retrospective Analysis of Sarcoidosis, Still's Disease, and Systemic Sclerosis in Poland (2009-2018)
CONCLUSIONS The study showed that hospitalizations for selected rare diseases do not cause a significant burden on the healthcare system. The results also showed that advanced age and comorbidities are important factors determining the length of hospitalization. The average length of hospital stay for selected rare diseases in Poland is not longer than the European Union (EU) average, so it can be assumed that the process of inpatient treatment in Poland is optimal.PMID:37981760 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.941536 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

Enhanced Proliferation and Adhesion Marker Gene Expression in Fibroblast Cells: Evaluating the Efficacy of a Non-Surgical Treatment for Urogenital Fistula
CONCLUSIONS The mucoadhesive bilayer membrane complex with arginine+glutamine gave rise to the highest expression of the LOX and JAMs genes, indicating that the highest proliferation and cell adhesion were found in cells inoculated with the mucoadhesive bilayer membrane complex with arginine+glutamine.PMID:37978796 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.941641 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)
