Galectins--lectins binding β-galactosides their properties and biological role have been described. Galectines family in mammalians consists of 15 members. Galectin-3 is atypical specimen of galectins family. Its participation in fibrosis, cardiac remodeling, immune and inflammation responses have been shown. Employment galectin-3 as new independent biomarker for diagnosis of acute heart failure and outcome predictor in patients with chronic heart failure (HF) are discussed. Diagnostic and prognostic values of galectin-3 are compared with famous and wide using HF marker NT-proBNP. Combined employing biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic purpose of HF have been discussed. Using galectin-3 as therapeutic target in treatment of chronic HF in future is suggested.

Targeted therapies, consisting of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) or BCL-2 inhibitors, are the mainstay of contemporary treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The most common adverse effects (AEs) of BTKis are fatigue, bruising, infection, hematological and cardiovascular AEs. While AEs during treatment are usually mild (grades 1 and 2), grade 3 and 4 AEs have been detected in some patients, necessitating additional medical care and temporary or permanent drug discontinuation.

Background: Exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are known to increase the risk of cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality. However, the temporal trend of this risk has not fully elucidated. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to quantify the risk of CV events after COPD exacerbations over different time periods.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with high cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and requires specific interventions to decreases CVD risk. The guidelines indicate that systematic global CVD risk assessment is recommended in individuals with any major vascular risk factor.

Background/objectives: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) benefits individuals with chronic respiratory conditions beyond COPD; however, the quality of online resources has not been evaluated. The aims of this study were to assess the content, quality, and comprehensibility of YouTube videos that provide PR to individuals with chronic lung diseases other than COPD.
Methods: A search was conducted on YouTube for videos related to PR on non-COPD conditions, with the first 350 videos screened for eligibility (2004-2024).
