Asymmetric and symmetric dimethylarginines (ADMA and SDMA) impair nitric oxide bioavailability and have been implicated in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). Alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase 2 (AGXT2) is the only enzyme capable of metabolizing both of the dimethylarginines. We
Multiorgan failure is a catastrophic consequence of heat stroke (HS) and considered the underlying etiology of mortality. Identifying novel biomarkers capable of predicting the extent of HS-induced organ damage will enhance point-of-care triage and treatment. Conscious male F344 rats (n = 32) were
Heat stroke (HS) remains a significant public health concern. Despite the substantial threat posed by HS, there is still no field or clinical test of HS severity. We suggested previously that circulating cardiac troponin (cTnI) could serve as a robust biomarker of HS severity after heating. In the
Exertional heat stroke usually occurs in warm climates. Increased serum levels of liver enzymes is a common finding in this condition, whereas liver failure is a more rare event that carries a poor prognosis. Liver transplantation has been recommended as treatment in cases of severe liver failure,
AZD0837 is an investigational oral anticoagulant which is converted to the active form, AR-H067637, a selective direct thrombin inhibitor. The present study, a multicentre, randomised, parallel-group, dose-guiding study, assessed the safety and tolerability of an immediate-release formulation of
OBJECTIVE
Oral anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) is effective but has significant limitations. AZD0837, a new oral anticoagulant, is a prodrug converted to a selective and reversible direct thrombin inhibitor (AR-H067637). We report
OBJECTIVE
We sought to compare the tolerability and safety of three fixed doses of ximelagatran versus warfarin in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).
BACKGROUND
Anticoagulants such as warfarin lower the risk of stroke in patients with NVAF. Ximelagatran is a novel, oral direct
BACKGROUND
In patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, warfarin prevents ischemic stroke, but dose adjustment, coagulation monitoring, and bleeding limit its use.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the efficacy of the oral direct thrombin inhibitor ximelagatran with warfarin for prevention of stroke and
OBJECTIVE
Phosphorylation of eNOS, an important post-translational modulator of its enzymatic activity, is reduced in diabetes mellitus. We hypothesized that modulation of eNOS phosphorylation could overcome diabetic vascular dysfunction and improves the outcome to stroke.
METHODS
We used the db/db
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the association between the liver enzymes γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and (alanine aminotransferase) ALT and risk of stroke, its subtypes including TIA as well as fatal and non-fatal events.
METHODS
A case-cohort study within the European Prospective Investigation into
Hyperhomocyst(e)inemia has been identified as an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic and thromboembolic diseases such as coronary artery disease, cerebral artery disease, and venous thrombosis. Recently, the alanine/valine (A/V) gene polymorphism of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase
The development of malignant hypertension was studied in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) kept on 1% NaCl as drinking water. Along with salt-loading, blood pressure gradually increased and reached a severe hypertensive level (greater than 230 mmHg), which was followed by increases
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS) on inflammatory responses, aortic endothelial cell apoptosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and multiple organ damage in an animal model of classic heat stroke (CHS). The rats in the
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether alanine aminotransferase or gamma-glutamyltransferase levels, as markers of liver health and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, might predict cardiovascular events in people with Type 2 diabetes.
METHODS
Data from the Fenofibrate Intervention and Event Lowering in
OBJECTIVE
To explore the role of parameters of organ function during heat stroke ( HS ) on the prognosis, and to form the treatment strategy through an analysis of parameters of organ function during HS.
METHODS
A retrospective study was conducted. Thirty-seven patients with HS ( HS group ) and 54
