Renal Innervation in Resistant Hypertension: A Review of Pathophysiology and Renal Denervation as Potential Treatment.

Background: Advances in treatment and increased awareness have improved the prognosis for many patients with hypertension (HTN). Resistant hypertension (RH) refers to a subset of hypertensive individuals who fail to achieve a desired blood pressure (BP) despite concurrent use of 3 different classes antihypertensive agents, one being a diuretic, and proper lifestyle changes. The prevalence and prognosis of RH are unclear owing to its heterogeneous etiologies, risk factors, and secondary comorbidities.

Stroke in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-infected Individuals in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA): A Systematic Review.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with worse outcomes after stroke, but this association is less well-described in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). We reviewed literature on stroke among people living with HIV (PLWH) in SSA.

Methods: We systematically reviewed published literature for original clinical stroke studies conducted in SSA that included PLWH.

Ozone therapy: an overview of pharmacodynamics, current research, and clinical utility.

The use of ozone (O) gas as a therapy in alternative medicine has attracted skepticism due to its unstable molecular structure. However, copious volumes of research have provided evidence that O's dynamic resonance structures facilitate physiological interactions useful in treating a myriad of pathologies. Specifically, O therapy induces moderate oxidative stress when interacting with lipids.
