Since coronavirus disease infection-19 (COVID-19) entry to the cells is angiotensin enzyme receptor (ACEII) dependent, extrapulmonary manifestations have been suspected. Ocular manifestations reported in several studies to involve the anterior as well as posterior eye segments. However, the predominance of the anterior eye segment reduced the attention of the scientific community on the posterior eye segment.

Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a pathology of global interest because it is widespread and has high morbidity and mortality. IHD pathophysiology involves local and systemic changes, including lipidomic, proteomic, and inflammasome changes in serum plasma. The modulation in these metabolites is viable in the pre-IHD, during the IHD period, and after management of IHD in all forms, including lifestyle changes and pharmacological and surgical interventions.

The currently used scores for the evaluation of cardiovascular disease based on the classical risk factors suffer from severe limitations, including inaccurate predictive values. Therefore, we suggest adding a novel non-classical risk factor, including the level of specific exhaled volatile organic compounds that are associated with ischemic heart disease, to the SCORE2 and SCORE2-OP algorithms.

Transcription factors play a crucial role in providing identity to each cell population. To maintain cell identity, it is essential to balance the expression of activator and inhibitor transcription factors. Cell plasticity and reprogramming offer great potential for future therapeutic applications, as they can regenerate damaged tissue.

Background: Numerous complications, such as postoperative arrhythmia and stroke, have been observed following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
Aims: This study sought to examine the impact of aging on the incidence of post-coronary artery shunt complications.
Objectives: Aging is a physiological process experienced by every living cell, beginning early in development.
Entropy is a natural process that affects all living cells, including senescence, an irreversible physiological process that impairs cell homeostasis. Age is a significant factor in disease development, and the pathogenesis of endothelial cell aging is multifactorial. Autophagy dysfunction accelerates endothelial cell aging and cell death, while autophagy preserves endothelial cell youthfulness through intracellular homeostasis and gene expression regulation.

Therefore, cytokines play a significantly critical role in the field of pathogenic pharmacological therapy of different types of pathologies. Cytokine is a large family containing many subfamilies and can be evaluated into groups according to their action on epithelial cell proliferation; stimulatory include transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α), Interlukine-22 (IL-22), IL-13, IL-6, IL-1RA and IL-17 and inhibitory include IL-1α, interferon type I (IFN type I), and TGF-β.

Background: Cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus are among the leading causes of mortality.
Objectives: Our study evaluated endothelial function in patients with arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, and diabetes mellitus.
Aims: This study aimed to assess the degree of endothelial dysfunction in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors older than 55 years of age.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in maintaining endothelial cell homeostasis through the turnover of intracellular components during stress conditions in a lysosomal-dependent manner. The regeneration strategy involves several aspects, including autophagy. Autophagy is a catabolic degenerative lysosomal-dependent degradation of intracellular components.

Hypothermia and autophagy are critical regulators of cell homeostasis by regulating intra and intercellular cell communication. Myocardiocyte cryotherapy poses multiple cellular and subcellular effects on the injured cell, including upregulation of autophagy. Autophagy plays a crucial role in modifying cell metabolism by regulating downregulation, reducing reactive oxygen species production, and improving the natural cellular antioxidant defense system.

Review the data from the current literature on the EC role in norm and disease. Endothelium maintains a precise balance between the released molecules, where EC dysfunction arises when the endothelium actions shift toward vasoconstriction, the proinflammatory, prothrombic properties after the alteration of nitric oxide (NO) production and oxidative stress.
