Combined Supplementation With Trigonella foenum-graecum and Nigella sativa Seed Powders Improves Glycemic Control, Dyslipidemia, and Organ Function in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Rats.

Diabetes mellitus is characterized by persistent hyperglycemia accompanied by dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, and progressive hepatic, renal, and hematological disturbances. This study evaluated the c...

Ventricular arrhythmogenesis in pulmonary hypertension: From right ventricular remodeling to clinical implications.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) results in chronic pressure overload of the right ventricle, leading to progressive structural, metabolic, neurohumoral, and electrophysiological remodeling. Although right...

Modeling Perforator Occlusion After Flow Diversion.

Endoluminal flow diverters are increasingly used to treat cerebral aneurysms. Despite good aneurysm occlusion efficacy, delayed ischemic complications due to side branch or perforator occlusion remain...

Renal outcomes of sacubitril/valsartan compared with valsartan under triple whammy exposure in heart failure patients: A retrospective observational study.

BACKGROUND: The concurrent use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors, diuretics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), known as the "triple whammy (TW)," increases the...

Novel Insights from Blood Speckle Imaging for the Assessment of Left Ventricular Flow Dynamics in Adult Patients: A Three-Patient Proof-of-Concept Case Series in the Context of Current Evidence.

Transthoracic echocardiography is the cornerstone of cardiac imaging, yet conventional volumetric and Doppler indices may fail to detect clinically meaningful changes in ventricular performance. Patie...

Beyond Binary: Cardiac Patterning as Probabilistic Fate Restriction.

The mammalian heart is classically described as arising from two cardiac lineages, first and second. Yet, recent lineage tracing of Mesp1 mesoderm and live imaging show that cardiac progenitors are al...

Discovery of Cardioprotective Markers in Huangqi Shengmai Yin via Integrated UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS Fingerprinting, Chemometric Quality Assessment, and Bioactivity Correlation.

Huangqi Shengmai Yin (HQSMY) displays notable cardioprotective properties. Nevertheless, the principal pharmacodynamic constituents underpinning this efficacy have not yet been fully clarified. To tac...

Dietary Vitamin D2 Is Less Potent Than Vitamin D3 at Maintaining or Restoring Structure and Metabolism of Skeletal Muscle and Heart in Male Rats.

Vitamin D (VD) deficiency is prevalent globally. To improve dietary recommendations for food fortification, we used male rats fed with diets depleted of VD or supplemented/rehabilitated with either vi...

A Case of Uterine Arteriovenous Fistula Associated With Adenomyosis and Pregnancy.
