Targeted FTO knockout in endothelial cells Boosts adhesion and lowers inflammatory infiltration to alleviate pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Biochem Biophys Res Commun
January 2025
Department of Ultrasonography, Fuwai Yunnan Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical, Sciences/Affiliated Cardiovascular Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming, 650102, China. Electronic address:
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a syndrome characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance and elevated pulmonary artery pressure, ultimately leading to right heart failure and even death. Increasing evidence implicates the fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) in various metabolic and inflammatory pathways; however, its role in pulmonary endothelial function and PAH remains largely unexplored. In this study, we examined the effects of endothelial cell-specific FTO knockout on PAH development.

Hemodialysis is a crucial procedure for removing toxins and waste from the body when kidneys fail to perform this function effectively. This study addresses the need to improve the efficiency and biocompatibility of membranes used in dialyzers. We simulate fluid flow through two types of membranes, Cuprophan (cellulosic) and AN69ST (synthetic), to understand the complex mechanisms involved and quantify key variables such as pressure, concentration, and flow.

Ann Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology and Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore; and Department of Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland (T.M.B.).
Background: Guidelines emphasize quiet settings for blood pressure (BP) measurement.
Objective: To determine the effect of noise and public environment on BP readings.
Design: Randomized crossover trial of adults in Baltimore, Maryland.
Transcirculation repair of a direct carotid-cavernous fistula in a patient who presented with hydrocephalus: illustrative case.
J Neurosurg Case Lessons
January 2025
The Trauma and Neuroscience Institutes, St. John's Hospital and Medical Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Background: Direct carotid-cavernous fistulas (CCFs) are relatively rare but dangerous complications of penetrating traumatic brain injury or maxillofacial trauma. A variety of clinical signs have been described, including ophthalmological and neurological ones. In some cases, severely altered cerebral blood flow can present as massive life-threatening bleeding through the nose, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and/or intraparenchymal hemorrhage.

Appl Physiol Nutr Metab

University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada;
We compared stretching, isometrics, and aerobic exercise for effectiveness in decreasing blood pressure post-exercise. Using a randomized crossover design, 5 males and 4 females (21.3y; normotensive) participated in four 30-minute sessions on separate days: static stretching (30s stretches, major muscle groups), isometric exercise, aerobic cycling (75% VO2peak), and control (rest), with blood pressure and heart rate measured before exercise (or rest) and for 60 minutes post-exercise (or rest).
