Since Dec 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in considerable morbidity and mortality throughout the world. On April 21 2020, Italy and US have registered over 187,000 and 855,000 cases of confirmed COVID-19
EXISTING KNOWLEDGE AND MAIN ASSUMPTIONS OF THE PROJECT.
Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The first symptom of PAD is intermittent claudication (IC), which is characterized by the occurrence of pain, cramps, numbness, and discomfort in the lower limb
Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is encoded by LIPA gene located on chromosome 10q23.3-q23 and consists of 10 exons. LIPA mRNA (messenger RiboNucleic Acid) (GenBank accession number NM_000235) is 2782 bp long and encodes a mature protein of 375 residues (GenBank accession number NP_000226). The
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is inflammation of the pancreas that can become a fatal disease or lead to severe complications . It is characterized clinically by abdominal pain and by increased pancreatic enzyme levels in the blood or urine. Gallstone migration and alcohol abuse are the two major risk
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to atherosclerosis continues to be the leading single cause of death in industrialized countries. High serum lipid levels, and especially high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, have been demonstrated to strongly and directly correlate with CVD risks
Physicians in charge of HIV-infected patients are increasingly being faced to previously unrecognized comorbid conditions such as atherosclerosis and cardiovascular events, loss of renal function, osteopenia/osteoporosis and bone fractures or non-AIDS-defining cancers (1-4).
The incidence of these
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to atherosclerosis continues to be the leading single cause of death in industrialized countries. High serum lipid levels, and especially high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels, have been demonstrated to strongly and directly correlate with CVD risks
Rationale:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has emerged as a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected individuals. The precise mechanisms underlying this increased cardiovascular risk remain to be elucidated . Platelet hyperreactivity and increased platelet-monocyte aggregation (PMA) are
According to Statistik Austria, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common reason for death in Austria in total population. In 2011, 42,3 % of all deaths were due to CVD (ICD-10 I00-I99). In People aged 45-64 years, CVD is, beyond cancer, the second most common cause of death. According to the
Background
Coronary atherosclerosis is responsible for the initiation of acute myocardial infarction with plaque rupture leading to acute coronary thrombosis and myocardial infarction. Current treatment in the acute phase involves re-establishing vessel patency by percutaneous coronary intervention
Why is this clinical problem important?
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a major health problem in Australia, with a prevalence of 15% in males aged over 65 years. The direct health care cost of PAD in Australia was $180m in 1994, of which 78% was associated with hospitalisations. PAD is also a
Fixed dose combination lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r) is a widespread used antiretroviral drug belonging to the class of protease inhibitors (PIs). PIs are associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction. However, data is available suggesting increased levels of plasma lipids are not the
Low high density lipoprotein (HDL) and a lipid pattern consistent with atherogenic dyslipidemia are also common in the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)infected population and is likely due, in large part, to the chronic inflammatory effect of HIV infection per se. While highly active
