Aims: To determine whether sleep blood pressure (BP) is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1DM).
Methods: We enrolled youth with T1DM, 12-21 years old. Carotid-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) assessed arterial stiffness, a CVD marker. Sleep systolic and diastolic BP variables were obtained from 24-hour BP Monitoring. Linear regression models analyzed the relationship of each BP variable with PWV, adjusted for HbA1c. Correlation of sleep BP with urine microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio (UAC) was examined.
Results: Nocturnal hypertension was found in 36% and abnormal dipping in 48% of the 25 participants, aged 17.7 ± 2.2 years old. Sleep systolic BP [beta = 0.039, 95% Confidence Interval (CI; 0.006-0.073)], diastolic BP [beta = 0.058, 95% CI (0.003-0.114)], Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) [beta = 0.075, 95% CI (0.018-0.131)] and MAP index [beta = 3.547, 95% CI (0.867-6.227)] were significantly associated with PWV. Sleep diastolic BP, load, MAP correlated with UAC.
Conclusions: Blood pressure alterations during sleep are common in youth with T1DM and they are associated with arterial stiffness and UAC. Larger studies are needed to confirm our results and examine whether interventions that target sleep and night-time BP could decrease CVD risk.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) poses a substantial global health burden, necessitating innovative therapeutic strategies. This study investigates the neuroprotective potential of a chrysin-loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carrier (NLC) drug delivery system in AD management. Employing the high-pressure homogenization method, chrysin-loaded NLCs were meticulously formulated to optimize drug delivery efficiency.

Background: Blood pressure (BP) management is an accessible therapeutic target for dementia prevention. BP variability (BPV) is a newer aspect of BP control recently associated with cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD), independent of traditionally targeted mean BP levels. Most of this work has relied on largely non-Hispanic White study samples in observational cohorts.

Background: The effect of high consumption of psychoactive substances of codeine (CDE), tramadol (TMD), and Cannabis sativa (CNB) as concoction has been associated with altered brain cognitive and neurochemical functions. However, the understanding of the complex mechanism behind the intake of Cannabis sativa co-administration with tramadol and codeine on both cardiac and brain function, neurotransmitters, purinergic, and antioxidant enzymes activities in the brain and heart of rats remains unreported.
Method: The measure of cognition using morris water maze (MWM) and Y-maze tests, hemodynamic parameters namely systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), butyl-cholinesterase (BCHE), adenosine deaminase (ADA), arginase, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes' activities, reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO) levels, in the brain and heart of CNB, TMD, and CDE exposed rats was done.

Background: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) and hypertension are the two most common risk factors of intracranial hemorrhage leading to cognitive impairment, but less is known about how the two relate. A better understanding of the association between these risk factors is a key step towards developing new strategies to manage hypertension and attenuate CAA progression.
Method: This study analyzed data from 2,510 participants in the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) dataset who had CAA and longitudinal blood pressure (BP) measurements before death.

Objective: Elevated systolic blood pressure and increased pulse pressure are closely associated with renal damage; however, the exact mechanism remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effects of increased pulse pressure on tubulointerstitial fibrosis and renal damage in elderly rats with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). Additionally, the role of renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its upstream signalling pathways were elucidated.
