Subclinical Right Ventricular Dysfunction by Strain Analysis
The peculiar shape of the right ventricle (RV), its position within the chest, and the thinness of its free wall have always represented a formidable challenge for the assessment of RV size and function by conventional 2-dimensional echocardiography. Over time, a large number of 2D echocardiography and Doppler parameters have been proposed to describe RV geometry and function. However, most of ...
متن کاملRight ventricular function by strain echocardiography.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Right ventricular (RV) function is an independent determinant of prognosis in a number of pathologies, but its accurate quantification by echocardiography remains a challenge. With the evolving clinical utility of RV strain and strain imaging, several studies have used it to investigate normal and pathologic conditions. However, marked shape adaptations of the RV and the wide ...
متن کاملGlyceroneogenesis comes of age.
Glyceroneogenesis is a generally ignored metabolic pathway that occurs in adipose tissues and liver of mammalian species. This short review highlights a series of recent discoveries showing that glyceroneogenesis is important in lipid homeostasis.
متن کاملImmunosenescence comes of age
Introduction Ageing of the immune system (immunosenescence) contributes to the increased susceptibility of the elderly to infectious disease and to the poor outcome of vaccination. Defence against pathogens is compromised mainly because of changes in adaptive immunity mediated by T and B lymphocytes; however, all components of the immune system are affected (Fig 1). Dissecting the crucial alter...
متن کاملMethylglyoxal Comes of AGE
The posttranslational modification of proteins by methylglyoxal, a highly reactive compound derived from glycolysis, may contribute to aging, diabetes, and other disorders. In this issue of Cell, Brownlee and colleagues (Yao et al., 2006) demonstrate a specific mechanism by which methylglyoxal modifies a transcriptional corepressor to enhance gene expression.
