Introduction and Background According to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, stroke is the 5th leading cause of mortality in the US, and a leading cause of significant long-term disability where almost 50% of stroke survivors, age 65 and above, suffer from disabling decrease in mobility.

The experiments as follows: Experiment 1. Observe the dynamic changes of DSS level in acute ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases of different severity. 1. Research object Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) group: 500 patients with AMI; Acute ischemic stroke group: 300 patients with

Introduction Malignancies during childhood constitute the 2nd cause of death, following injuries worldwide. According to epidemiological data, 300,000 new cases of neoplasia present themselves every year in children and teenagers under 19 years of age1, 160,000 of which concern children under the

Methods 1. Blood chemistry test. Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, AST, ALT, CPK, glucose, CRP, creatinine, glycosylated hemoglobin 2. 2D and 3D transthoracic echocardiography (Vivid GE 95 Healthcare (USA). 3D speckle echocardiography (3DSTE) for a detailed study of the phase-by-phase

Preeclampsia is a disease that is strongly linked with the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular disease. This is a condition with greater prevalence in the Low and middle income countries of the world especially sub-Saharan Africa, where the morbidity and mortality is reportedly higher. Larger

In this study, 60 patients with critical lesions indicated by coronary angiography will be admitted. The investigators collected the basic clinical data (gender, age, body mass index, smoking history, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia), laboratory data (creatinine, cholesterol, triglycerides)

Background Expanding time window using the emerging technologies for mechanical thrombectomy can improve chances of achieving successful thrombectomy and improve clinical outcome in patients that would have only received conservative treatment. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effectiveness

Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of mortality in all populations nowadays. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is considered to be the first cause of all deaths in the world. In 2017, 31% of the worldwide deaths (17.7 million) were caused by cardiovascular diseases. 80% of

Patient Selection: Screen ~400 Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients followed in Centro Hospitalar do Porto outpatient clinic. All RA patients with regular follow-up will be potentially included. The investigators also aim to enrol age-matched controls for biomarker comparison. Experimental

Study design: Randomized, parallel-group, open, comparative, prospective clinical study. Eligibility criteria will be: T2DM between 40 and 70 years old; adequate glycemic control; (HbA1c 7 to 9%) after run-in phase; adequate blood pressure control (SBP ≤ 140 mm Hg); maximal tolerated dose of statins

Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in diabetes. Actually, systematic screening of asymptomatic diabetic patients for silent myocardial ischemia is highly controversial, and is recommended for selected high-risk patients. Calcium artery calcification score predicts major

Background The epidemics of obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and atherosclerosis are increasing worldwide. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), for a long time unnoted in the metabolic field, is becoming recognized as a condition possibly involved in the pathogenesis of these

It is already established worldwide that myocardial infarction is one of the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. According to WHO (2008), cardiovascular diseases account for one third of annual deaths. Globally over 17 Million deaths occur each year due to coronary artery diseases. In United

Twenty-five sedentary class 2 and above obese [body mass index (BMI) >35 kg/m2, waist circumference >40 inches (men) or >35 inches (women)] men and women (18-45 yrs) will participate in these experiments. Individuals under 18 years of age will not be investigated due to the invasive nature of the

Radiation-induced skin injury is a significant side effect of ionizing radiation delivered to the skin during cancer treatment as well as a result of other exposure to radiation. The skin is one of radiosensitive organ systems in human body because it is a continuously renewing organ containing
