Adverse reaction of specific acute kidney injury caused by atorvastatin: an actual study based on the database of the US FDA adverse event reporting system.

Introduction: Atorvastatin, one of the most widely used drugs, has attracted controversy regarding its potential adverse reactions to acute kidney injury(AKI). This study aims to provide evidence in support of the safe use of atorvastatin.

Areas Covered: Reports with atorvastatin as the primary suspect drug were extracted from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) and categorized into five groups: general population, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), ischemic stroke (IS), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and hyperlipidemia (HLD).

Computational fluid dynamics modeling of coronary artery blood flow using OpenFOAM: Validation with the food and drug administration benchmark nozzle model.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), a global health concern, particularly coronary artery disease (CAD), poses a significant threat to well-being. Seeking safer and cost-effective diagnostic alternatives to invasive coronary angiography, noninvasive coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) gains prominence. This study employed OpenFOAM, an open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, to analyze hemodynamic parameters in coronary arteries with serial stenoses.

Dynamics of Cardiac Autonomic Responses During Hemodialysis Measured by Heart Rate Variability and Skin Sympathetic Nerve Activity: The Impact of Interdialytic Weight Gain.

Autonomic nervous regulation plays a critical role in end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients with cardiovascular complications. However, studies on autonomic regulation in ESKD patients are limited to heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. Skin sympathetic nerve activity (SKNA), which noninvasively reflects the sympathetic nerve activity, has not been used in ESKD patients.

Cd(CNS) coordination polymer/graphene nanoarchitectures for enhanced photocatalytic HO production under visible light.

For a long time, there has been global concern over the environment and energy problems. Recently, the problems, which have brought about serious effect on the global living condition, have been in the "spotlight" and given impetus to the universal's efforts to head for the same direction: stem the worst warming and strive for the renewable energy source. Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is undoubtedly a good choice, which holds the promise as a clean, efficient, safe and transferrable energy carrier.
