These guidelines contain recommendations for pediatric basic and advanced life support, excluding the newborn period, and are based on the best available resuscitation science. The Chain of Survival ...

Rationale:Recent evidence indicates that a few human microRNAs (miRNAs), in particular hsa-miR-199a-3p and hsa-miR-590-3p, stimulate proliferation of cardiomyocytes and, once expressed in the mouse ...

Ischemic stroke in younger adults is far less common than that among older adults, yet the underlying pathogeneses and risk factors are more diverse. Approximately 10% to 15% of all strokes occur in ...

Smooth muscle cell migration occurs during vascular development, in response to vascular injury, and during atherogenesis. During atherogenesis, vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells migrate to populate ...

Measurement of blood pressure (BP) in the upright posture is recommended by all hypertension guidelines to detect orthostatic hypotension especially in elderly patients. 1 However, a number of studies ...

Background—MicroRNAs (miRs) are small noncoding RNAs that posttranscriptionally control gene expression. Small-animal studies suggest that miRs might offer novel therapeutic targets in cardiovascular ...
