Baseline expression of miRNAs in HER-2+ early breast cancer patients as a predictor of cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction

Int. j. cardiovasc. sci. (Impr.); 37 (suppl. 12), 2024
BACKGROUND: The classic biomarkers troponin and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), as well as the currently available risk scores, are far from being considered ideal for predicting cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarkers for better identification of ...

Unraveling the role of miRNAs as biomarkers in Chagas cardiomyopathy: Insights into molecular pathophysiology

Plos negl. trop. dis; 18 (2), 2024
BACKGROUND: Chagas cardiomyopathy (ChCM) is a severe form of Chagas disease and a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The dysregulation of the immune response leads to cardiac remodeling and functional disruptions, resulting in life-threatening complications. Conventional diagnostic me...

Biomarkers profile in provoked versus unprovoked deep venous thrombosis

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), represents a substantial healthcare challenge. Provoked and unprovoked DVT cases carry distinct risks and treatment considerations. Recognizing the limitations of this classification, molecular markers may e...

Lipidomic analysis identified potential predictive biomarkers of statin response in subjects with Familial hypercholesterolemia

Chem. Phys. lipids; 257 (), 2023
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a disorder of lipid metabolism that causes elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and increased premature atherosclerosis risk. Statins inhibit endogenous cholesterol biosynthesis, which reduces LDL-c plasma levels and prevent from cardiovascular events...

Orange juice intake by obese and insulin-resistant subjects lowers specific plasma triglycerides: a randomized clinical trial

Clin Nutr ESPEN; (51), 2022
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Dyslipidaemia is usually common in obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Clinical trials suggest that orange juice may have a positive impact on lipid metabolism and blood lipid profiles; however conflicting results have been reported. Here, we applied a combined u...

Blood DNA methylation marks discriminate Chagas cardiomyopathy disease clinical forms

Front. immunol; 13 (1020572), 2022
Chagas disease is a parasitic disease from South America, affecting around 7 million people worldwide. Decades after the infection, 30% of people develop chronic forms, including Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy (CCC), for which no treatment exists. Two stages characterized this form: the moderate form, cha...

Effect of qualitative and quantitative nutritional plan on gene expression in obese patients in secondary prevention for cardiovascular disease

Clin Nutr ESPEN; (41), 2021
Summary Background & aims: Diet is a modifiable risk factor, which may influence the gene expression and the concentration of inflammatory biomarkers related to obesity and atherosclerosis. In this sub study from Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional (BALANCE) Program, we hypothesized that a nutritional...

Increased serum levels of interleukin-6 in erythema nodosum leprosum suggest its use as a biomarker

Background: Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) is a frequent complication of multibacillary leprosy that can result in significant morbidity, including peripheral nerve damage and physical disability. The identification of possible serum markers could be a valuable tool for the early detection of ENL. Aim...

Left ventricular longitudinal strain echocardiogram and handgrip: a useful tool for detecting ischemia in the emergency room

ABC., imagem cardiovasc; 34 (4), 2021
