Prediction of post-operative atrial fibrillation in patients after cardiac surgery using heart rate variability
(2023)
PURPOSE: Post-operative atrial fibrillation (PoAF) occurs in ~ 30% of patients after cardiac surgery. The etiology of PoAF is complex, but a disbalance in autonomic systems plays an important role. The goal of this study ...
A randomized comparison of His bundle pacing versus right ventricular pacing: Effect on left ventricular function and biomarkers of collagen metabolism
(2023)
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular pacing (RVP) can result in pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM). It is unknown whether specific biomarkers reflect differences between His bundle pacing (HBP) and RVP and predict a decrease ...
Prevalence of iodine deficiency among vegan compared to vegetarian and omnivore children in the Czech Republic: cross-sectional study
(2023)
BACKGROUND: The intake and homeostasis of iodine, an essential micronutrient that plays a vital role in thyroid physiology, is of particular concern with the increasing popularity of vegetarian (VG) and vegan (VN) diets. ...
Targets for pollutants in rat and human pancreatic beta-cells: The effect of prolonged exposure to sub-lethal concentrations of hexachlorocyclohexane isomers on the expression of function- and survival-related proteins
(2023)
Decades after most countries banned hexachlorocyclohexane, HCH isomers still pollute the environment. Many studies described HCH as a pro-diabetic factor; nevertheless, the effect of HCH isomers on pancreatic beta-cells ...
ABCB1 Amplicon Contains Cyclic AMP Response Element-Driven TRIP6 Gene in Taxane-Resistant MCF-7 Breast Cancer Sublines
(2023)
A limited number of studies are devoted to regulating TRIP6 expression in cancer. Hence, we aimed to unveil the regulation of TRIP6 expression in MCF-7 breast cancer cells (with high TRIP6 expression) and taxane-resistant ...
MUC13-miRNA-4647 axis in colorectal cancer: Prospects to identifications of risk factors and clinical outcomes
(2023)
MUC13, a transmembrane mucin glycoprotein, is overexpressed in colorectal cancer (CRC), however, its regulation and functions are not fully understood. It has been shown that MUC13 protects colonic epithelial cells from ...
Transseptal puncture in left atrial appendage closure guided by 3D printing and multiplanar CT reconstruction
(2023)
BACKGROUND: The presented study investigates the application of bi-arterial 3D printed models to guide transseptal puncture (TSP) in left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). AIMS: The objectives are to (1) test the feasibility ...
Nutritional practices and experiences of people on vegan diet with healthcare system: a qualitative study
(2023)
OBJECTIVES: The growing popularity of diets that restrict the consumption of animal-based foods is an important new challenge for the public healthcare system in Czechia. While the environmental and health-related benefits ...
Atrial fibrillation therapy and stroke prevention in hemodialysis patients
(2023)
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially on hemodialysis (HD) is higher compared to the general population without CKD and reaches ~20%. The risk of ischemic ...
Frentizole derivatives with mTOR inhibiting and senomorphic properties
(2023)
Frentizole is immunosuppressive drug with low acute toxicity and lifespan-prolonging effect. Recently, frentizole's potential to disrupt toxic amyloid β (Aβ) - Aβ-binding alcohol dehydrogenase (ABAD) interaction in ...
