Background Both the insulin secretion and insulin resistance in Type 2 diabetes (T2D) are amenable to pharmacological intervention. promote insulin secretion, causes weight loss and is an important ...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the last decade, myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with PET has emerged to play a pivotal role in the clinical routine process for the detection of hemodynamically significant ...

Simultaneous imaging of myocardial flow and hypoxia could be vital for identifying acute ischemic mechanisms that may trigger an arrhythmia. We have studied the distribution of flow and hypoxia in ...

Background—We report the effects of the administration of recombinant fibroblast growth factor-2 (rFGF-2) protein on myocardial perfusion using single photon emission computed tomography imaging in ...

Higher ischemic percentages of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy showed a negative correlation (r: −0.2606, p: 0.002) with global longitudinal strain, indicating a greater likelihood of coronary ...

Qualitative brainstem CT perfusion showed 98.5% sensitivity yet only 74.4% specificity. Qualitative whole-brain CT perfusion achieved 93.6% sensitivity and 92.3% specificity.

Background: Stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), which combines acute admission glucose with chronic glycemic indices, is a novel marker of stress hyperglycemia. Its association with acute myocardial ...

Astrocytes in paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN) promote the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the mechanism is unclear. The ...
