Novel Pathophysiological Insights and Current Clinical Applications
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a valuable adjunct to angiography, providing new insights in the diagnosis of and therapy for coronary disease. Angiography depicts only a 2D silhouette of the lumen, whereas IVUS allows tomographic assessment of lumen area, plaque size, distribution, and composition. The safety of IVUS is well documented, and the assessment of luminal dimensions represents an...
متن کاملPathophysiological insights into the antiphospholipid syndrome.
The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by venous and/or arterial thrombosis and severe pregnancy morbidity in presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). While there is compelling evidence that aPL cause the clinical manifestations of APS, the underlying mechanisms are still a matter of scientific debate. This is mainly related to the broad heterogeneity of aPL. There are three...
متن کاملAutophagy in health and disease. 2. Regulation of lipid metabolism and storage by autophagy: pathophysiological implications.
Autophagy is a lysosomal degradative pathway critical for the removal and breakdown of cellular components such as organelles and proteins. Despite striking similarities in the regulation and function of autophagy and lipid metabolism, the two processes have only recently been shown to be interrelated. This review details new findings of critical functions for autophagy in lipid metabolism and ...
متن کاملPathophysiological insights in sickle cell disease
The first coherent pathophysiological scheme for sickle cell disease (SCD) emerged in the sixties-seventies based on an extremely detailed description of the molecular mechanism by which HbS in its deoxy-form polymerises and forms long fibres within the red blood cell that deform it and make it fragile. This scheme explains the haemolytic anaemia, and the mechanistic aspects of the vaso-occlusi...
متن کاملPhysiological and Pathophysiological Insights of Nav1.4 and Nav1.5 Comparison
Mutations in Nav1.4 and Nav1.5 α-subunits have been associated with muscular and cardiac channelopathies, respectively. Despite intense research on the structure and function of these channels, a lot of information is still missing to delineate the various physiological and pathophysiological processes underlying their activity at the molecular level. Nav1.4 and Nav1.5 sequences are similar, su...
