The leading cause of death in the world is due to cardiovascular events, which originate from coronary artery stenosis therefore it affects myocardial blood flow and finally may cause infarction. ST-Segment elevation is an indicator of infarction (STEMI) in electrocardiography (ECG) besides cardiac
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a potent anti-apoptotic sphingolipid with potent pro-inflammatory actions which are driven in most part by activation of the S1P receptor subtype S1PR158. Biologically active S1P is generated by the phosphorylation of sphingosine, catalyzed by two sphingosine kinases

Calcineurin Inhibitors (CNIs) and Renal Fibrosis. CNIs including CsA and tacrolimus are the cornerstone of maintenance immunosuppression in solid organ transplantation. These drugs are so effective that newer generation CNIs such as Voclosporin (Isotechnika Pharma, Inc, Edmonton, Alberta) are in
It is know well established that IgAN outcome is often unfavourable, with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) occurring in 5-25% of cases within ten years and in 25-50% of cases within 20 years. The degree of impairment in renal function at presentation is certainly an important predictor of this poor

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main causes of death and hospitalization in patients affected by ESRD . The risk of death from CVD is already detectable in the early steps of chronic renal failure and it is from 20 to 30 times higher than in the general population. In ESRD patients the
Systemic sclerosis is a rare, progressive disease that leads to hardening and tightening of the skin and connective tissues. It usually begins with a few dry patches of skin on the hands or face that begin getting thicker and harder. These patches then spread to other areas of the skin. In some
