Endometriosis (EM), a chronic inflammatory condition predominantly affecting women of reproductive age, has been linked to an elevated risk thrombosis, though its underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this case-control study, involving 71 EM patients and matched controls, we explored the structural functional changes in fibrinogen their potential role thrombosis. Key oxidative stress markers, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels blood lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, along with plasma lipid peroxidation markers total antioxidant capacity, were measured. Fibrinogen structure was examined using circular dichroism spectroscopy intrinsic fluorescence, while properties evaluated by analyzing thrombin-mediated polymerization plasmin-induced lysis. Compared exhibited ROS production systemic stress, leading notable oxidation alterations. These associated impaired fibrin enhanced resistance lysis, which are indicative pro-thrombotic state. findings suggest that stress-driven modifications may contribute heightened thrombotic EM, highlighting therapeutic target mitigate cardiovascular complications.

The first part of this review highlighted the evolving landscape atherosclerosis, noting emerging cardiometabolic risk factors, growing impact exposomes, and social determinants health. prominent role atherosclerosis in bidirectional relationship between cardiovascular disease cancer was also discussed. In second part, we examine complex interplay multimorbid cardio-oncologic patients, harmful environments that lend a “syndemic” nature to these chronic diseases. We summarize management strategies targeting disordered factors mitigate explore molecular mechanisms enabling more tailored therapies. Importantly, emphasize early interception through multifactorial interventions detect subclinical signs (via biomarkers imaging) treat modifiable prevent clinical events. A concerted preventive effort—referred by some as “preventome”—is essential reduce burden atherosclerosis-driven diseases, shifting from mere proactive promotion “chronic health”.

Targeting inflammation offers a unique possibility to address residual cardiovascular risk in almost two thirds of all patients with prevalent atherosclerotic disease (ASCVD). However, despite FDA approval and the ESC 2024 Guidelines for Management Chronic Coronary Syndrome recommendations implement low-dose colchicine (0.5 mg daily) secondary prevention ASCVD inflammatory risk, its clinical adoption is still limited. In this regard, simple screening elevated high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) on routine basis might help recognize low-grade as an important therapeutic target. Within present review, we first provide recently published epidemiologic evidence that hsCRP at least strong predictor future events traditional lipoproteins. Furthermore, summarize our recent knowledge currently available strategies modulate process critically discuss open issues regarding benefit therapy acute coronary setting or stroke prevention. addition, also briefly touch upon some specific safety related long-term use colchicine. Finally, next diagnostic frontiers targeting such detection vascular/coronary by pericoronary fat attenuation ziltivekimab, human monoclonal antibody interleukin-6. Thus, integration interventions aimed lowering burden combination aggressive lipid-modifying may hold potential further reduce substantial ASCVD.

A plastic optical fiber (POF)-based device for biosensing strategies has been developed to monitor several protein–protein interactions at ultra-low concentrations without functionalization processes, exploiting plasmonic phenomena. In this work, novel tests were applied different kinds of analyte–receptor interactions, such as interleukins, where the bioreceptor’s (protein antibody) molecular weight is roughly ten times that analyte interleukin), while intracellular bioreceptors and small molecules low have already demonstrated via same point-of-care test (POCT). The POCT was implemented by a white light source spectrometer connected two POF-based chips in series: an innovative microcuvette chip D-shaped POF surface plasmon resonance (SPR) probe. particular, achieved drilling three micro holes core modified POF. Instead performing step, filled with specific receptor solution (one microliter femtomolar level), which selectively captured target (e.g., cytokine) when samples dropped over (twenty microliters attomolar level). Three IL-1β, IL-17A, IL-18, detected range monitoring wavelength shift time due cytokine/antibody (protein–protein) interaction. proven be effective detecting interleukins level few minutes processes.

The relationship between obesity and mental health has attracted attention. However, large sample studies on the visceral fat depression are lacking. This study aimed to explore by using adiposity index (VAI) lipid accumulation product (LAP). Additionally, it sought potential mediating role of sleep duration in these associations. data used current cross-sectional investigation from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2005 2020, including 19,659 participants. Depression was measured nine-item Patient Questionnaire.
