vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf-a) is one of the most important regulatory factors in pathological and physiological angiogenesis. alternative splicing is a complicated molecular process in vegf-a gene expression which adds complexity to vegf-a biology. among all vegf-a exons, alternative splicing of exon 8 is the key determinant of isoform switching from pro-angiogenic vegf-xxx to ant...

To assess the effectiveness of community based comprehensive lifestyle promotion package on cardio-vascular risk (biochemical parameters score) among adult with hypertension. Methodology: Quantitative approach, true experimental design was adopted in study. 200 samples and 198 control group who fulfilled inclusion criteria were selected using probability sampling technique.

Although abundant evidence of concomitant cardiovascular disease is scattered throughout the literature on osteitis deformans, appreciation of the etiologic relationship between the two diseases has been lacking. This paper shows that cardiovascular disease accompanying extensive osteitis deformans may result from: (1) excessive demand on the heart from increased vascularity of affected bones; ...

What started as a small cluster of viral pneumonia like cases in province China, the early weeks December, has blown out to be full-fledged pandemic virtually affecting every continent. PubMed and Google search engines were used for literature search. The case fatality rate which is around 2.6% corona virus disease (COVID-19) patient’s rise nearly 10.6% COVID-19 patients with prior cardio vascu...

inflammation of blood vessels is a characteristic feature of kawasaki disease. neutrophils play a key role in the inflammatory responses where movement of neutrophils toward the site of inflammation depends on cd11b/cd18 expression as adhesion molecules on these cells. the purpose of this study was to investigate cd11b/cd18 expression in patients with kawasaki disease upon diagnosis and after t...
