Limited evidence suggests exercise reduces blood pressure (BP) in individuals with resistant hypertension, a clinical population low responsiveness to drug therapy.To determine whether an aerobic training intervention ambulatory BP among patients hypertension.The Exercise Training the Treatment of Resistant Hypertension (EnRicH) trial is prospective, 2-center, single-blinded randomized performed at 2 hospital centers Portugal from March 2017 December 2019. A total 60 diagnosis hypertension...
ABSTRACT Hemochromatosis is a hereditary iron–overload disease linked to HLA. The clinical expression of hemochromatosis influenced by sex and age. However, other factors must account for the notorious heterogeneity independent sex, age, HLA phenotype. present study attempts clarify some these additional based on exhaustive statistical analysis data collected from 43 selected patients with hemochromatosis. focused three groups variables: first group included variables reflecting disease;...
Abstract Pancreas transplantation is an effective treatment for type 1 diabetes mellitus and being increasingly performed worldwide. Early recognition of graft-related complications fundamental graft survival; thus, radiologists must be aware the technique, pancreas-graft imaging postoperative complications. We present normal appearances features
Endothelial dysfunction has been suggested as a potential mechanism contributing to the development and progression of heart failure (HF). Levels circulating endothelial cells (CECs), progenitor (EPCs), hematopoietic stem (HSPCs) have recognized useful markers vascular damage repair in response tissue injury. To evaluate levels EPCs, CECs, HSPCs among patients with HF reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In 82 individuals (42 HFrEF 42 age-matched subjects without established cardiovascular...
It is widely accepted that exercise training has beneficial effects on vascular health. Although a dose-dependent relation been suggested, little known about the of different durations endothelial markers. This study aimed to assess effect single sessions with in circulating levels progenitor cells (EPCs) and (CECs) among adults cardiovascular risk factors. Ten participants performed two multicomponent sessions, one week apart, lasting 30 45 min (main phase). Before after each session, blood...
Physical exercise is a well-established strategy to control blood pressure. Nonetheless, its effects on protein homeostasis in individuals with hypertension are not clearly defined.Evaluate proteostasis, quality of life, and inflammation, oxidative stress, vasoactive biomarkers adults regarding reported habits.Twenty were recruited health-care centre, 10 regular exercisers (age: 68.3 ± 4.2 years) age-matched without participation 67.7 5.1 years). Proteostasis the levels ubiquitin, heat shock...
Hypertension is the most determinant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Early intervention and future therapies targeting hypertension mechanisms may improve quality of life clinical outcomes. has a complex multifactorial aetiology was recently associated with protein homeostasis (proteostasis). This work aimed to characterize proteostasis in easy-to-access plasma samples from 40 individuals, 20 controlled age- gender-matched normotensive individuals. Proteostasis evaluated by...
