COST catalyzes collaborative research in transcriptomics for cardiovascular disease

The Action has not only catalyzed research in this area by bringing together almost 300 participants from across Europe and beyond, but it also catalyzed the careers of younger researchers and launched a Horizon 2020 project: COVIRNA. “We aimed to catalyze collaborative research in transcriptomics for cardiovascular disease,” says Dr Yvan Devaux from the Luxembourg […]

What was inside the illegal medical lab found in California? Photos show blood vials, disease samples

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – Court documents detail the horrors and dangerous nature of an illegal lab found in Reedley, California, exposed several months ago by a city code enforcement officer. What was found inside prompted the fire chief to send a letter to city officials describing it as a “potential disaster for the city.” An […]

MAVS signaling is required for preventing persistent chikungunya heart infection and chronic vascular tissue inflammation

Abstract Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection has been associated with severe cardiac manifestations, yet, how CHIKV infection leads to heart disease remains unknown. Here, we leveraged both mouse models and human primary cardiac cells to define the mechanisms of CHIKV heart infection. Using an immunocompetent mouse model of CHIKV infection as well as human primary cardiac […]

Emergency Department Use Among Pregnant People With and Without Disabilities

Key Points Question  Are individuals with disabilities at greater risk of emergency department use in pregnancy compared with those without disabilities? Findings  In a cohort study of more than 2 million pregnant people in Ontario, Canada, the adjusted relative risk of emergency department use was 26% higher in those with physical, 15% higher in those […]

Examining the psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the Social Aptitudes Scale in two clinical samples

Participants Two clinical samples were included in the study. The first one is a clinical neuropediatric sample of 257 children and adolescents that were referred for a developmental and neurological assessment to the neuropediatric outpatient clinics at the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN; n = 216) and the Finnmark Hospital Trust (FIN; n = 41). Children under four […]

What just 1 drink a day can do to your blood pressure

Study details For the study, researchers analyzed data on more than 19,000 adults in the United States, Korea, and Japan between 1997 and 2021, measuring their alcohol consumption in grams of alcohol consumed rather than number of drinks. The World Health Organization defines a standard drink as 10 grams of alcohol while the United States […]

A pilot radiometabolomics integration study for the characterization of renal oncocytic neoplasia

Abstract Differentiating benign renal oncocytic tumors and malignant renal cell carcinoma (RCC) on imaging and histopathology is a critical problem that presents an everyday clinical challenge. This manuscript aims to demonstrate a novel methodology integrating metabolomics with radiomics features (RF) to differentiate between benign oncocytic neoplasia and malignant renal tumors. For this purpose, thirty-three renal […]

Genetic risk, adherence to healthy lifestyle and acute cardiovascular and thromboembolic complications following SARS-COV-2 infection

Abstract Current understanding of determinants for COVID-19-related cardiovascular and thromboembolic (CVE) complications primarily covers clinical aspects with limited knowledge on genetics and lifestyles. Here, we analysed a prospective cohort of 106,005 participants from UK Biobank with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. We show that higher polygenic risk scores, indicating individual’s hereditary risk, were linearly associated with increased […]
