A blood atlas of COVID-19 defines hallmarks of disease severity and specificity.
(2022-03-03)
Treatment of severe COVID-19 is currently limited by clinical heterogeneity and incomplete description of specific immune biomarkers. We present here a comprehensive multi-omic blood atlas for patients with varying COVID-19 ...
Long-term (180-Day) Outcomes in Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19 in the REMAP-CAP Randomized Clinical Trial.
(2023-01-03)
IMPORTANCE: The longer-term effects of therapies for the treatment of critically ill patients with COVID-19 are unknown. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of multiple interventions for critically ill adults with COVID-19 ...
Effect of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor and Angiotensin Receptor Blocker Initiation on Organ Support-Free Days in Patients Hospitalized With COVID-19: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
(2023-04-11)
IMPORTANCE: Overactivation of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) may contribute to poor clinical outcomes in patients with COVID-19. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin ...
Evaluating the use of blood pressure polygenic risk scores across race/ethnic background groups.
(Springer Nature, 2023-06-02)
We assess performance and limitations of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for multiple blood pressure (BP) phenotypes in diverse population groups. We compare "clumping-and-thresholding" (PRSice2) and LD-based (LDPred2) methods ...
Characteristics, management, and outcomes of patients with left-sided infective endocarditis complicated by heart failure: a substudy of the ESC-EORP EURO-ENDO (European infective endocarditis) registry.
(2022-07)
AIMS: To evaluate the current management and survival of patients with left-sided infective endocarditis (IE) complicated by congestive heart failure (CHF) in the ESC-EORP European Endocarditis (EURO-ENDO) registry. METHODS ...
Aggressive pituitary tumours and carcinomas, characteristics and management of 171 patients.
(2022-10-01)
OBJECTIVE: To describe clinical and pathological characteristics and treatment outcomes in a large cohort of aggressive pituitary tumours (APT)/pituitary carcinomas (PC). DESIGN: Electronic survey August 2020-May 2021. ...
Lipoprotein(a) and Benefit of PCSK9 Inhibition in Patients With Nominally Controlled LDL Cholesterol.
(2021-08-03)
BACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend nonstatin lipid-lowering agents in patients at very high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) if low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) remains ≥70 mg/dL on maximum ...
Pathogenicity of missense variants affecting the collagen IV α5 carboxy non-collagenous domain in X-linked Alport syndrome.
(2022-07-04)
X-linked Alport syndrome is a genetic kidney disease caused by pathogenic COL4A5 variants, but little is known of the consequences of missense variants affecting the NC1 domain of the corresponding collagen IV α5 chain. ...
A double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled parallel study to investigate the effect of sex and dietary nitrate on COVID-19 vaccine-induced vascular dysfunction in healthy men and women: protocol of the DiNOVasc-COVID-19 study.
(2023-09-16)
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular events, driven by endothelial dysfunction, are a recognised complication of COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 infections remain a persistent concern globally, and an understanding of the mechanisms causing ...
Platelets Independently Recruit into Asthmatic Lungs and Models of Allergic Inflammation via CCR3.
(2021-05)
Platelet activation and pulmonary recruitment occur in patients with asthma and in animal models of allergic asthma, in which leukocyte infiltration, airway remodeling, and hyperresponsiveness are suppressed by experimental ...
