Cardiac fibroblasts regulate the development of heart failure via Htra3-TGF-β-IGFBP7 axis

Tissue fibrosis and organ dysfunction are hallmarks of age-related diseases including heart failure, but it remains elusive whether there is a common pathway to induce both events. Through single-cell RNA-seq,...

Improvements in French risk stratification score were correlated with reductions in mean pulmonary artery pressure in pulmonary arterial hypertension: a subanalysis of the Japan Pulmonary Hypertension Registry (JAPHR)

Since there was no previous report, we analyzed the relationship between French Risk Stratification parameters in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and mean pulmonary arterial pressures (mPAP) using Japan ...

Usefulness of central venous saturation as a predictor of thiamine deficiency in critically ill patients: a case report

Central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO₂) reflects the balance of oxygen delivery and consumption. Low ScvO₂ indicates the presence of inadequate oxygen delivery, while high ScvO₂ indicates reduced oxygen consumpt...
