- Efficacy and safety of phospholipid nanoparticles (VBI-S) in reversing intractable hypotension in patients with septic shock: a multicentre, open-label, repeated measures, phase 2a clinical pilot trialby Cuthbert Simpkins on March 28, 2024
BACKGROUND: Since the 1990's attempts to favorably modulate nitric oxide (NO) have been unsuccessful. We hypothesized that because NO is lipophilic it would preferentially localize into intravascularly infused hydrophobic nanoparticles, thereby reducing its bioavailability and adverse effects without inhibiting its production. We aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of intravenous infusion of a fluid comprised of hydrophobic phospholipid nanoparticles (VBI-S) that reversibly absorb NO in...
- Cell-Specific Targeting of the Endothelium in the Cardiorenal Syndromeby Nihay Laham-Karam on February 11, 2024
BACKGROUND: The vascular endothelium serves as a semi-selective permeable barrier as a conduit for transport of fluid, solutes, and various cell populations between the vessel lumen and tissues. The endothelium thus has a dynamic role in the regulation of coagulation, immune system, lipid and electrolyte transport, as well as neurohumoral influences on vascular tone and end-organ injury to tissues such as the heart and kidney.
- Immunomodulatory therapy in children with paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS, MIS-C; RECOVERY): a randomised, controlled, open-label, platform trialby RECOVERY Collaborative Group on January 25, 2024
BACKGROUND: Paediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS), also known as multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) emerged in April, 2020. The paediatric comparisons within the RECOVERY trial aimed to assess the effect of intravenous immunoglobulin or corticosteroids compared with usual care on duration of hospital stay for children with PIMS-TS and to compare tocilizumab (anti-IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody) or anakinra (anti-IL-1...
- Abnormal Resting Myocardial Contrast Echocardiographic Uptake: Clue of an Ongoing Acute Coronary Artery Eventby Roopesh Sai Jakulla on January 8, 2024
Acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) present most frequently with chest pain, but angina equivalents such as dyspnea, diaphoresis, and fatigue are not uncommon. Atypical presentations are especially seen in women, the elderly, and diabetics. Cardiac evaluation using a transthoracic echocardiogram is almost always done before or immediately after someone undergoes left heart catheterization for ACS. It provides information valuable information regarding wall motion, left ventricular systolic function,...
