Despite the fact that coronary artery disease is leading cause of death among women, previous studies have suggested physicians are less likely to pursue an aggressive approach in women than men.

Cardiovascular multidisciplinary heart teams (MDHTs) have evolved significantly over the past decade. These play a central role in treatment of wide array cardiovascular diseases affecting interventional cardiology, cardiac surgery, imaging, advanced failure, adult congenital disease, cardio-oncology, and cardio-obstetrics. To meet specific needs both patients programs, composition function MDHTs had to adapt evolve. Although lessons been learned from cancer care, best practices for...

Abstract Myelin deficiency in the central nervous system (CNS) can cause severe disabling conditions. Most of transgenic mice models overexpressing myelin components have limitations for investigators and therapy as they severely alter CNS architecture. It has been postulated that transferrin (Tf) is involved oligodendrocyte (OL) maturation myelinogenesis. Because Tf not an intrinsic constituent, we decided to investigate if its overexpression could impact on myelination process without...
