Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder that complicates 3-5% of pregnancies and remains a major cause of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality.(1)
Preeclampsia is characterized by the development of new onset hypertension (HTN) and the establishment of proteinuria. Other signs and
In this study, we will perform serial echocardiography for ventricular function, myocardial contrast echocardiography for microvascular perfusion assessment, blood analysis for myocardial injury, and carotid US for plaque or IMT progression in subjects receiving ponatinib. This series of tests is
Study Design: The study is a prospective, un-blinded, randomized interventional clinical trial comparing ModMeD to standard cardiac diet in 48 (24 per arm) inpatients with type II DM scheduled for CABG at MMC and who are scheduled to stay in the hospital for four (4) or more days prior to
Extensive literature documents that endothelial dysfunction is associated with almost every condition predisposing to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Hence, endothelial dysfunction is significantly associated with the burden of cardiovascular risk and can be considered a barometer of the
All subjects will be admitted to the GCRC in the afternoon before the tests (Day 1) and will undergo a thorough physical examination. Routine admission lab tests (including a 2-h 75g OGTT) and body composition measurements will be obtained. A standardized dinner will be served at ~ 6PM. The next
Integrins
Integrins are a group of molecules responsible for intercellular adhesion and signalling. They comprise a superfamily of heterodimeric receptors that are composed of 18 different α and β subunits. In combination, they can generate 24 different receptor subtypes with a range of

Background:
Fetuin A is a protein secreted by hepatocytes that inhibits insulin receptor tyrosine kinase of adipose and muscle cells (1, 2). Recently, its inhibitory potency on calcium phosphate precipitation has been linked to cardio-vascular (CV) calcification and has predicted CV and non-CV
Rapidly growing aging society augmented the risk of age-associated disorders, such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Dietary interventions that reduce daily energy intake, also known as caloric restriction (CR), has been shown to be the most robust intervention to
Better therapies for patients with NSCLC (Non Small Cell Lung Cancer) who progress after initial chemotherapy is urgently needed.
Besides VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor), human lung cancers are known to express PDGFR (platelet-derived growth factor receptors). NSCLC, like most cancers,
Specific Aims
To test the global hypothesis that increases in insulin signaling through either PI-3-kinase or MAP kinase pathways correlate with improvements in NO production or NOS expression in skeletal muscle following pioglitazone therapy, we will determine whether 6 months of Pioglitazone
Background:
Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have an increased risk for atherothrombotic events.
Platelets play an important role in cardiovascular disease both in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and in the development of acute thrombotic events. Their importance in coronary heart disease is
BACKGROUND:
Low blood antioxidant concentrations are associated with several major degenerative diseases including cardiovascular disease and cancer. Animal, cellular and chemical experiments have elucidated biologic mechanisms consistent with antioxidant protection against several disease
BACKGROUND:
The results of many studies indicate that estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) reduces the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in postmenopausal women. However, less than 9 percent of these women choose to take ERT because of unwanted side effects and concerns about increased risk of
