Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) involves long-term kidney function issues and structural changes, often leading to interstitial fibrosis from extracellular matrix accumulation.
- Researchers compared two mouse models of kidney fibrosis induced by toxins—folic acid and adenine diet—to assess differences in fibrosis severity and inflammation.
- The adenine diet model showed more severe fibrosis and a greater inflammatory response, suggesting inflammation plays a crucial role in the progression of kidney fibrosis compared to the folic acid model.
Background: We assessed the long-term clinical outcomes of an intermediate lesion (IL) according to the presence of a combined culprit lesion (CCL).
Hypothesis: Long-term clinical outcomes of IL may be affected by the presence of a CCL.
Methods: Angiographic findings (n = 1096) and medical chart were reviewed.
BACKGROUND Toxocariasis is an infection due to ingestion of the helminth parasite larvae found in dogs (Toxocara canis) or cats (Toxocara cati). Symptoms vary from being asymptomatic to shock, depending on the organ invaded by the parasite. However, cardiac involvement with shock in toxocariasis is very rare.

Methods: Subjects ( = 801) without a history of ASCVD from 12 university hospitals in Korea underwent carotid ultrasound.
