Combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has markedly increased life expectancy in people with HIV (PWH) but has also resulted in an increased prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders, whose etiopathology remains ill-defined. Notably, the respective contribution of cART and HIV-derived proteins to obesity and vascular alterations remain poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated the individual and combined effects of HIV-proteins and of the integrase strand transfer inhibitor Dolutegravir (DTG) on body composition and vascular reactivity...

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is highly prevalent and remains one of the most frequent and preventable causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Yet, suboptimal blood pressure control is common. Hypertension clinics might play an important role in improving target attainment, by targeting drug therapy adherence, improving guideline compliance and by involving pharmacists. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to characterize patient drug therapy adherence, prescriber guideline compliance and pharmacist interventions at the hypertension clinic...

Porto-pulmonary arterial hypertension (PoPAH) is a form of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) that affects patients with cirrhosis, and - to a lesser extent - patients with non-cirrhotic liver diseases. Compared with other forms of PAH, PoPAH is more prevalent in male, in older subjects, and is characterized by lower mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) and lower pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) with higher cardiac output. Despite more favorable hemodynamics and functional class, patients with PoPAH have a significantly worse survival than patients with other forms of PAH, likely because of liver-related events and therapeutic barriers to PAH-specific therapy...

ANTECEDENTES: El cáncer de laringe representa el 21.7% de las neoplasias malignas de vías aerodigestivas superiores. La prevalencia del virus del papiloma humano (VPH) en el cáncer de laringe oscila entre el 0 y el 80%. MÉTODO: Se incluyeron 112 muestras de tejido laríngeo de pacientes con cáncer de laringe. Se amplificó el ADN y se analizó la presencia y el genotipo del VPH mediante hibridación reversa (INNO-LiPA® ). Se realizaron pruebas de ji cuadrada, Fisher y t de Student no pareada...

Biomedical science and its allied disciplines are entering a new era in which computational methods and technologies are poised to play a prevalent role in supporting collaborative investigation of the human body. Within Europe, this has its focus in the virtual physiological human (VPH), which is an evolving entity that has emerged from the EuroPhysiome initiative and the strategy for the EuroPhysiome (STEP) consortium. The VPH is intended to be a solution to common infrastructure needs for physiome projects across the globe, providing a unifying architecture that facilitates integration and prediction, ultimately creating a framework capable of describing Homo sapiens in silico...
