Types of Complications and Associated Factors in Patients Undergoing Permanent Cardiac Pacemaker Implantation: A Systematic Review.

Background: Permanent Pacemaker (PPM) implantation is essential in treating cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders, especially in patients with heart failure. Although PPM has been proven to improve quality of life and prolong life expectancy in patients with cardiac conduction disorders, post implantation complications still often occur.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify types of complications and associated predictors in patients undergoing PPM implantation.

Preventing Adipogenesis and Preserving Mitochondria and GLUT-4 Functions by Extracts and Isolated Compounds of Australian .

's secondary metabolites show promise in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus and its related conditions. We previously discovered that methanolic extracts, isolated flavonoids, and cyclitols effectively preserve mitochondria in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. In this current work, quantification of lipid droplet levels with Oil Red O assay showed a noticeable decrease in lipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells.

Bioactive Phytochemicals of .

is native to Western Australia. It has become an introduced and fast-growing plant in other parts of the world due to its ability to adapt to drought, saline and alkaline soils, and hast growing environments. Studies on the bioactivities and phytochemicals of the plant extracts were conducted.

Antihyperglycemic Properties of Extracts and Isolated Compounds from Australian on 3T3-L1 Adipocytes.

Our early work indicated that methanolic extracts from the flowers, leaves, bark, and isolated compounds of exhibited significant antioxidant activities in vitro. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mitochondria (mt-ROS) interfered with glucose uptake, metabolism, and its AMPK-dependent pathway, contributing to hyperglycemia and diabetes. This study aimed to screen the ability of these extracts and isolated compounds to attenuate the production of ROS and maintain mitochondrial function via the restoration of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Identification of Phytochemicals in Bioactive Extracts of Growing in Australia.

growing in Australia has not been fully investigated for its bioactive phytochemicals. Sequential polarity-based extraction was employed to provide four different extracts from individual parts of . Bioactive extracts were determined using in vitro antioxidant and yeast α-glucosidase inhibitory assays.
