Background And Aims: The novel coronavirus-induced severe acute respiratory syndrome (COVID-19) led to one of the most significant global pandemics of the 21st century, causing substantial challenges for healthcare systems worldwide, including those in Brazil. This study aimed to investigate the demographic and clinical profiles of hospitalized patients in Brazil who had both COVID-19 and Crohn's disease (CD) over a 2-year period.
Methods: An epidemiological analysis was conducted using data from Open-Data-SUS.
Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) results from various cardiovascular diseases and involves metalloproteinases like MMP9 and TIMP-1, which are crucial for extracellular matrix maintenance and tissue remodeling.
- L-Arginine (LA) treatment shows promising benefits in HF, enhancing vasodilation, restoring endothelial function, and improving muscle contractility.
- In an animal study, LA significantly reduced MMP9 expression after HF, indicating its potential as an adjunct therapy in treating heart failure.
