Objective: Clopidogrel is widely used for preventing ischemic complications related to cardiovascular diseases. However, many patients experience clopidogrel resistance (CR). The polymorphisms of CYP2C19 have been implicated in CR, but CYP2C19 polymorphism considerably varies with both ethnic group and geographical location. This study aimed to investigate the association between CYP2C19 polymorphisms and clopidogrel resistance (CR) in patients with coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke among Han and Tibetan populations in Qinghai Province, China.
Methods: From June 2019 to January 2020, patients who were diagnosed with coronary heart disease or cerebral infarction in internal medicine of Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital and had taken dual antiplatelet drugs were included in this study. Blood was collected and routine items were completed. Whole exome sequencing was performed for CYP2C19 genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C192 (rs4244285), CYP2C193 (rs4986893), and CYP2C1917 (rs12248560).
Results: A total of 91 patients with coronary heart disease or cerebral infarction (67 Han people (65.99 ± 12.25 years old) and 24 Tibetan (63.6324 Tib years old)) including 52 cases with CR and 39 cases with non-CR were enrolled in this study. For the Han population, the differences in age, glycosylated hemoglobin, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), gender, aspirin resistance, and diabetes were significant between the CR and non-CR groups. For the Tibetan population, the two groups showed no significant difference in all indicators. There was no significant difference between CR and non-CR groups for all genotypes (CYP2C19 2, 3, and 17) in either Han or Tibetan populations. For the Han populations, age, APTT, and aspirin resistance were significantly correlated with CR.
Conclusion: The present study indicated that CYP2C192, CYP2C193, and CYP2C1917 alleles were not correlated with CR for both Han and Tibetan populations in Qinghai Province, while age, APTT, and aspirin resistance were independent risk factors of CR in this region.

Study Objectives: Although heart rate variability (HRV), a marker of cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM), is known to predict cardiovascular morbidity, the circadian timing of sleep (CTS) is also involved in autonomic modulation. We examined whether circadian misalignment is associated with blunted HRV in adolescents as a function of entrainment to school or on-breaks.
Methods: We evaluated 360 subjects from the Penn State Child Cohort (median 16y) who had at least 3-night at-home actigraphy (ACT), in-lab 9-h polysomnography (PSG) and 24-h Holter-monitoring heart rate variability (HRV) data.

There are several pharmacologic agents that have been touted as guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, it is important to recognize that older adults with HFpEF also contend with an increased risk for adverse effects from medications due to age-related changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications, as well as the concurrence of geriatric conditions such as polypharmacy and frailty. With this review, we discuss the underlying evidence for the benefits of various treatments in HFpEF and incorporate key considerations for older adults, a subpopulation that may be at higher risk for adverse drug events.

If a shortened lifespan is evolutionarily advantageous, it becomes more likely that nature will strive to change it accordingly, affecting how we understand aging. Premature mortality because of aging would seem detrimental to the individual, but under what circumstances can it be of value? Based on a relative incremental increase in fitness, simulations were performed to reveal the benefit of death. This modification allows for continuous evolution in the model and establishes an optimal lifespan even under challenging conditions.

Southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) are mysticete cetaceans commonly observed in the coastal waters of Brazil, particularly in Santa Catarina State. There is limited understanding of the causes of calf mortality in this species, particularly concerning infectious diseases. We report a case of omphalophlebitis caused by Streptococcus equi subsp.

Purpose Of Review: Traditionally viewed as a passive player in circulation, the right ventricle (RV) has become a pivotal force in hemodynamics. RV failure (RVF) is a recognized complication of primary cardiac and pulmonary vascular disorders and is associated with a poor prognosis. Unlike treatments for left ventricular failure (LVF), strategies such as adrenoceptor signaling inhibition and renin-angiotensin system modulation have shown limited success in RVF.
