Introduction: Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is a pathological process characterised by a blockage or non-obstructive accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques in the epicardial arteries. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is widely used in clinical practice to treat IHD. However, angina post PCI (APPCI) impairs quality of life and portends a worse prognosis.

Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) plays a significant role in several cardiovascular diseases. As a correctable risk factor and potential therapeutic target, reducing EAT has multiple cardiovascular benefits, especially in those with abnormal glucolipid metabolism. The objective of this research was to compare the effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, and exercise on the thickness of EAT and indicators of glucolipid metabolism in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, and T2DM with obesity.

Innovative Epicardial Bigels Containing Amiodarone Hydrochloride: Pharmacotechnical and Analytical Characterization.

Pharmaceuticals (Basel)

November 2024

Pharmaceutical Technology and Cosmetology Department, Faculty of Pharmacy, George Emil Palade University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science, and Technology of Targu Mures, 540142 Targu Mures, Romania.

Background/objectives: The search for novel ways of providing treatment also targets the development of formulations used in drug delivery. Among the important characteristics of pharmaceutical gels are their ability to penetrate membranes, their capability to offer rapid response, and their capacity to avoid the hepatic metabolization route followed by many drugs. Bigels combine the advantages of both hydrogels and oleogels, creating a biphasic system that might improve the solubility of amiodarone in water, which is otherwise poorly soluble.

Article Synopsis
  • Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is linked to issues like emotional instability, impulsivity, and disrupted relationships, influenced by factors such as autonomic nervous system dysregulation and metabolic changes.
  • Research indicates that altered heart rate variability and HPA axis dysregulation, often due to early trauma, increase chronic inflammation and cardiovascular risk among individuals with BPD.
  • A review of 189 studies revealed key insights but had limitations, such as focusing on only one database and excluding non-English articles, suggesting a need for further research on this topic.

Objective: To describe complications and outcomes in cats undergoing epicardial pacemaker (EP) implantation for artificial cardiac pacing and to investigate improvement in clinical signs and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) following surgery.

Methods: 39 client-owned cats that underwent EP placement. Medical records of 4 UK-based referral hospitals were searched and data reviewed retrospectively between July 2010 and December 2022.
