Immune activation in patients with admission blood pressure above 185/110 mm Hg in acute ischemic stroke
DownloadFall 2021
Background: An admission blood pressure over 185/110 mm Hg is associated with increased risk of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA)-related hemorrhagic transformation (HT). Stroke guidelines recommend blood pressure (BP) above 185/110 mm Hg be lowered before r-tPA treatment. How high...

Influence of dietary fat intake on acute changes in postprandial lipid and lipoprotein expression in children and adolescents with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
DownloadFall 2012
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease that typically occurs in obese children and adolescents with hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. While treatment is aimed at lifestyle modification (diet and physical activity), very little is known regarding...

Role of Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) in Hypertension and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
DownloadFall 2018
Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular complications such as stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and renal failure, and therefore is an enormous healthcare burden worldwide. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is an essential regulator of blood pressure homeostasis, and...
