Remuscularization of the mammalian heart can be achieved after cell transplantation human induced pluripotent stem (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (CMs). However, several hurdles remain before implementation into clinical practice. Poor survival implanted cells is related to insufficient vascularization, and potential for fatal arrhythmogenesis associated with fetal cell-like nature immature CMs.
The gut microbiome and its metabolites are increasingly implicated in several cardiovascular diseases, but their role human myocardial infarction (MI) injury responses have yet to be established. To address this, we examined stool samples from 77 ST-elevation MI (STEMI) patients using 16 S V3-V4 next-generation sequencing, metagenomics machine learning. Our analysis identified an enriched population of butyrate-producing bacteria. These findings were then validated a controlled...
Infection with clade I Mpox virus (MPXV) results in adverse pregnancy outcomes, yet the potential for vertical transmission resulting fetal harm IIb MPXV, that is currently circulating Western Hemisphere, remains unknown. We sought to establish a pregnant rhesus macaque model of MPXV infection early gestation inoculation understand if and outcomes. Three macaques were inoculated intradermally 1.5 x 10 5 plaque forming units (PFU) near gestational day (GD) 30 animals monitored viremia...
Abstract Infection with clade I Mpox virus (MPXV) results in adverse pregnancy outcomes, yet the potential for vertical transmission resulting fetal harm IIb MPXV, that is currently circulating Western Hemisphere, remains unknown. We established a rhesus macaque model of MPXV early gestation inoculation. Three pregnant macaques were inoculated intradermally 1.5 × 10^5 plaque forming units (PFU) near gestational day (GD) 30 and animals monitored viremia maternal well-being. Animals euthanized...
ABSTRACT This study investigates disparities in telemedicine access and use among racial groups the United States during COVID‐19 pandemic. Our analysis of a dataset from National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) reveals that varied significantly across groups, which NCHS categorized as “Black,” “Hispanic,” “White,” or “Other.” Hispanic respondents were more likely to lack regular place care, might explain their lower telemedicine, relative other groups. White reported relatively high...
Introduction: Injection of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes has been reported as a promising approach to regenerate loss myocardium and restore heart function after ischemic injury. However, immaturity the transplanted their poor survival rates caused by limited blood supply remain major hurdles for clinical translation. Hypothesis: We tested hypothesis that co-culture human cell (hiPSC)-derived (CMs) with hiPSC-derived endothelial cells (ECs) promotes CM maturation in...
Abstract Community health centers are a rewarding and rich career choice for future optometrists. As primary eye care providers, optometrists in these multi-disciplinary settings have the potential to make significant lasting impacts on patients of underserved populations, increase awareness surrounding cultural diversity impact healthcare, advocate healthcare equity. This article discusses why community can be destination current prospective optometry students, provides examples making an...
