The vaccines of the present invention, comprising said immunogens, are potent in the prevention, or reduction, of atherosclerotic plaque formation over prolonged periods of time, thereby reducing the potential of atherosclerosis leading to coronary or cerebrovascular disease. Also provided are methods of...
Incidentally, CCL5-related atherosclerosis is associated with hypertension and the development of obesity, which are two common risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Interestingly, people with CCR5Δ32 mutation have low risk of getting cardiovascular diseases such as coronary disease and myocardial ...
Atherosclerosis is a specific type of arteriosclerosis. It happens when plaque, cholesterol, andfatty substancesbuild up in your arteries and cause them to narrow. This buildup can lead to an artery blockage that disrupts blood flow. Atherosclerosis is a slow and gradual disease, but it can wors...
A pancreas transplant is occasionally considered for people with type 1 diabetes who have severe complications of their disease, including end stage kidney disease requiring kidney transplantation. All forms of diabetes increase the risk of long-term complications. These typically develop after many years...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide threat to public health, but the scale of the problem is probably not fully appreciated. At present, there are no specific cures for most of the acquired CKDs and renal transplantation is limited by organ shortage. So, efforts are underway to dis...
Diabetes. This disease damages arteries and can lead to atherosclerosis, which in turn ups risk for HBP. Obstructive sleep apnea. A disorder that causes repeated, brief episodes of interrupted breathing while you sleep, putts long-term strain on your heart, which can raise blood pressure. ...

A limitation of genetic testing for FCS is that because FCS is a rare disease caused by many possible genetic variants, not all pathogenic variants of the major genes are identified. If a variant is found in genes coding for LPL, or another key protein in the LPL pathway, that has not ...
The increasing recognition of the inflammatory component of atherogenesis provides the biological doubt for the potential use of inflammatory markers as indicators of atherogenesis or as predictors of atherosclerotic complications. More research is needed for the biomarkers of atherosclerosis disease and ...
Atherosclerosis –A disease caused by a buildup of plaque in the arteries, causing them to harden. This condition can accompany aortic stenosis. Bicuspid aortic valve –A condition in which the aortic valve has two flaps instead of three. This can cause the valve to leak or narrow. Diabet...
