Methotrexate & rheumatoid arthritis associated atherosclerosis: A narrative review of multidisciplinary approach for risk modification by the international board of experts.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an idiopathic, autoimmune connective tissue disorder that primarily affects the synovial joints, causing symmetric, erosive-deforming polyarthritis. It is also associated with extra-articular manifestations, particularly cardiovascular (CV) diseases (CVD). CV risk modification in RA remains unsolved despite recent advances in the management of RA.

Possibilities of dapagliflozin-induced cardioprotection on doxorubicin + cyclophosphamide mode of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy.

Rationale: The global burden of cardiovascular (CV) and oncological diseases continues to increase. In this regard, the prevention of CV diseases (CVD) before and after cancer treatment is an urgent and unsolved problem in medicine. For this reason, our research group aimed to investigate the possibility of dapagliflozin-related cardioprotection, using an experimental model of chronic Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) + Cyclophosphamide (AC)-mode of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy.

Diabetic Cardiomyopathy: 2023 Update by the International Multidisciplinary Board of Experts.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered by many the pandemic of the 21st century and is associated with multiple organ damages. Among these, cardiovascular complications are responsible for an incredible burden of mortality and morbidity in Western Countries. The study of the pathological mechanisms responsible for the cardiovascular complications in DM patients is key for the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Integrating hepatitis C treatment into multidrug-resistant TB care.

Background: Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) are not widely used for patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and multidrug- or rifampicin-resistant TB (MDR/RR-TB). We describe the implementation aspects of a new integrated model of care in Armenia and the perceptions of the healthcare staff and patients.

Methods: We used qualitative methods, including a desktop review and semi-structured individual interviews with healthcare staff and with patients receiving HCV and MDR/RR-TB treatment.

The Keystones of Right Ventricular Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy-Induced Morphological Disarrangement.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is an urgent problem of modern cardiology. This myocardial remodeling manifests various desmosomopathies, channelopathies, and other mutations resulting in a violation of the coordinated heart work, particularly the myocardium. The incidence of this cardiomyopathy is not significant.

Urotensin-II As a Promising Key-Point of Cardiovascular Disturbances Sequel.

Arterial hypertension is a highly urgent problem of modern medicine since the crisis of blood pressure control remains open, due to the increasing number of uncontrolled arterial hypertension. Today, one of the most critical problems of cardiology is the study of the mechanisms of development and progression of arterial hypertension. Therefore, our international and multidisciplinary working group presents a vision of a new therapeutic target - urotensin II in the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension.

Chemotherapy, hypothyroidism and oral dysbiosis as a novel risk factor of cardiovascular pathology development.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the population, as well as the economic burden of the health care system. Currently, CVDs account for more than 17.6 million deaths a year and are projected to exceed 23.

THE MOLECULAR MECHANISM OF DIABETES MELLITUS - RELATED IMPAIRMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR HOMEOSTASIS (REVIEW).

Today, diabetes mellitus is an urgent and topical medical and social problem of modern medicine. In the era of industrialization, this endocrine disorder's incidence increases exponentially, affecting more broadly, especially the young cohorts of the population, thereby exerting a substantial burden on the health system. Comprehension and full-fledged study of the pathophysiological mechanisms and remodeling dynamics in the diabetic continuum will ensure further advances in modern diabetology to set it to a potentially new level.

[ORAL HEALTH STATUS IN HIV-POSITIVE PATIENTS].

Oral manifestations of HIV infection are diverse and not still not completely studied. HIV-associated diseases can occur as the first symptoms of infection, these are characterized by high frequency, clinical polymorphism and pronounced course. Periodontal aspects are also neglected in the literature.
