Background:
Generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) is an ultra-rare disorder with an estimated birth prevalence of around 1 in 400,000.1 GACI is characterized by extensive arterial calcifications, arterial stenosis, myointimal proliferation and periarticular calcifications. Individuals
This is a natural history study of patients with Generalized Arterial Calcification of Infancy (GACI) or Autosomal Recessive Hypophosphatemic Rickets Type 2 (ARHR2).
GACI is an ultra-rare disorder with an estimated birth prevalence of around 1 in 200,000. GACI is characterized by extensive arterial
Neurologic damage after cardiac arrest is frequent and therapeutic options to improve neurological outcome are limited. Treatment by therapeutic hypothermia (TH, 32-34◦C) for 12-24 h showed improved neurological outcome in several trials. Therefore, international guidelines recommend targeted
Previous publications demonstrated that about 35% to 40% of patients hospitalized with Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS) have some degree of renal dysfunction. On the other hand, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is not only associated to worse prognosis in ACS patients, but leads also to an increased risk
Ticagrelor is a reversibly binding, direct-acting, oral P2Y12 antagonist used for prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. It does not belong to thienopyridines; it is a carbocyclic nucleoside, representing a "first-in-class" cyclopentyl-triazolo-pyrimidine.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of substantial mortality and morbidity from thromboembolism, heart failure (HF), and cognitive dysfunction. With the aging of the population and improved survival after myocardial infarction and HF, AF is emerging as a major public health
INTRODUCTION Glutamine (GLN) is the most abundant free amino acid in the body, and commonly known as a non-essential amino acid due to the ability of most cells to produce it. It has many essential metabolic functions in the organism; it is an energy substrate for most cells (especially for
Reperfusion injury might occur in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing the primary percutaneous coronary intervention(P-PCI),characterized by myocardial stunning, reperfusion-induced arrhythmia, microvascular dysfunction and myocardial cellular apoptosis,
Severe sepsis and septic shock are the cause of significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. An estimated 751,000 (3 per 1,000 population) cases of severe sepsis occur in the United States each year, resulting in approximately 215,000 deaths. Septic shock is characterized by hypotension,
Patients on hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease are at high risk for death from ischemic heart disease. It was reported that nicorandil, a hybrid compound on adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channel opener and nitric oxide door, was potentially effective to prevent cardiovascular
Adverse clinical outcomes are reduced when critically ill patients are only transfused if their hematocrit drops below 21%: Hematocrit (HCT) is a measure of the severity of anemia. A HCT is considered normal if it ranges between 38 and 48% of total blood volume. In critically ill patients anemia is
Dialysis patients have extraordinarily high mortality rates. Cardiac diseases play an important role in deaths among end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing renal replacement therapy. Previous studies have shown that maintenance hemodialysis patients have high prevalence of obstructive
