Background: Chronic respiratory failure (CRF) is a critical complication in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is characterized by an increase in the arterial-alveolar oxygen gradient (A-aDO2). The long-term trajectory and prognostic significance remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the prognostic impact of A-aDO2 and elucidate its trajectory over ten years.

Apelin, a (neuro) vasoactive peptide, plays a prominent role in controlling water balance and cardiovascular functions. Apelin and its receptor co-localize with vasopressin in magnocellular vasopressinergic neurons. Apelin receptors (Apelin-Rs) are also expressed in the collecting ducts of the kidney, where vasopressin type 2 receptors are also present.

Background And Objectives: Jugular paragangliomas (JPG) pose a surgical challenge because of their vascularity and complex location. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) offers a minimally invasive management for patients with JPG. Our aim was to evaluate outcomes of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for the treatment of JPG over the long term.

Introduction: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are major causes of morbidity and mortality in the elderly population. Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is associated with lower complications rates than conventional treatment; however, rigorous follow-up with contrast imaging is required to confirm aneurysmal sac exclusion. The main objective of this study was to quantify and evaluate miRNA expression response to EVAR based on serum dosages at the 6-month follow-up.

Objectives: While ketone bodies are not the main heart fuel, exercise may increase their uptake. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of 6-week endurance training and Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 )PDK4( inhibition on ketone bodies metabolism in the heart of diabetic rats with emphasis on the role of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator PGC-1alpha (PGC-1α).
Materials And Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats were divided into eight groups: healthy control group (CONT), endurance training group (TRA), diabetic group (DM), DM + EX group, Dichloroacetate (DCA) group, DM + DCA group, TRA + DCA group, and DM + TRA + DCA group.
