Characterization of Myocardial Microstructure and Function in an Experimental Model of Isolated Subendocardial Damage.

Hypertension

August 2019

From the Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, corporate member of Freie Universitaät Berlin, Humboldt-Universitaät zu Berlin, and Berlin Institute of Health, Institute of Pharmacology, Center for Cardiovascular Research, Berlin, Germany (N.B., A.F.-L., S.B., J.G., Arne Thiele, U.K.).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how subendocardial damage due to hypertension impacts the structure and function of the heart, highlighting early signs of cardiac problems even in asymptomatic individuals.
  • - Mice induced with subendocardial scarring showed diastolic dysfunction, changes in myocardial deformation, and increased expression of specific biomarkers, while systolic function remained normal.
  • - Advanced imaging techniques indicated that alterations in myocardial microstructure, particularly in subepicardial myofibers, can serve as early indicators for subendocardial fibrosis, with high sensitivity and specificity for predicting cardiac damage.

Structural Bioinformatics Group, Experimental and Clinical Research Center (ECRC), Charité - University Medicine Berlin, Berlin, Germany.

Regular monitoring of drug regulatory agency web sites and similar resources for information on new drug approvals and changes to legal status of marketed drugs is impractical. It requires navigation through several resources to find complete information about a drug as none of the publicly accessible drug databases provide all features essential to complement in silico drug discovery. Here, we propose SuperDRUG2 (http://cheminfo.

Tumors of the jaws may represent different human disorders and frequently associate with pathologic bone fractures. In this report, we analyzed two affected siblings from a family of Russian origin, with a history of dental tumors of the jaws, in correspondence to original clinical diagnosis of cementoma consistent with gigantiform cementoma (GC, OMIM: 137575). Whole exome sequencing revealed the heterozygous missense mutation c.
