Unique Subclavian Vascular Ring Anomaly: Insights from CT Angiography.
Life (Basel)
January 2025
Clinical Laboratory of Radiology and Medical Imaging, "Sf. Apostol Andrei" County Emergency Hospital, 900591 Constanta, Romania.
Aortic arch anomalies represent a range of congenital vascular malformations resulting from disruptions in the typical embryological development of the aortic arch and its branches. These anomalies, which vary widely in their presentation, can lead to significant clinical symptoms depending on their structure and position. We report the case of a 75-year-old male with intermittent hypertension, palpitations, and episodic warmth in the upper body.

Background: A stable and reproducible experimental bacterial pneumonia model postintracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is necessary to help investigating the pathogenesis and novel treatments of Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP).
Aim: To establish a Gram-negative bacterial pneumonia-complicating ICH rat model and an acute lung injury (ALI)-complicating ICH rat model.
Methods: We established two standardized models of post-ICH pneumonia by nasal inoculation with () or intratracheal inoculation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Ventricular-Arterial Coupling: Changes with aging and implications across cardiovascular conditions.
Blood Press

Jagiellonian University Medical College, 1st Department of Cardiology, Interventional Electrocardiology and Arterial Hypertension, Kraków, Poland.
Purpose: Ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) is a crucial concept in cardiovascular physiology, representing the dynamic interaction between the left ventricle and the arterial system. This comprehensive literature review explores the changes in VAC with aging and various cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).
Materials And Methods: This literature review covers studies on changes in VAC with age and common CVDs such as arterial hypertension, atrial fibrillation, heart failure with preserved and reduced ejection fraction and aortic stenosis.
Introduction: The pathogenic role of nitric oxide (NO) signaling during development of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) in Marfan syndrome (MFS) is currently unclear. We characterized vasomotor function and its relationship to the activity of the NO-generating enzymes in mice with early onset progressively severe MFS.
Methods: Wire myography, immunoblotting, measurements of aortic NO and superoxide levels were used to compare vasomotor function, contractile-protein levels, and the activity of endothelial and inducible NO synthase (eNOS and iNOS, respectively) in ascending thoracic aortas of Fbn1mgR/mgR mice relative to wild type (WT) littermates.
MEF2C mitigates coronary artery lesions in Kawasaki disease by enhancing endothelial barrier function through KLF2 regulation.

Coronary artery lesions constitute a significant complication of Kawasaki disease (KD) and represents one of the primary etiologies of acquired cardiovascular disease in pediatric populations. In the present study, we observed a downregulation of MEF2C expression in the whole blood of KD patients and in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) during the pathophysiological progression of KD. Furthermore, transcriptomic data analysis, in conjunction with observations from HCAECs stimulated with KD serum, indicates that the downregulation of MEF2C in KD is correlated with increased inflammatory levels and the activation of inflammatory pathways.
