Association between atherogenic index of plasma and type 2 diabetic complications: a cross-sectional study by Yue-Yang Zhang, Yue-Yang Zhang, Yue-Yang Zhang, Yue-Yang Zhang, Yue-Yang Zhang, Xiao-Yu Yang, Xiao-Yu Yang, Xiao-Yu Yang, Xiao-Yu Yang, Xiao-Yu Yang, Qin Wan, Qin Wan, Qin Wan, Qin Wan, Qin Wan

“…BackgroundThe Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) was originally developed primarily as a marker for assessing atherosclerosis. Consequently, this study investigates the potential association between AIP and type 2 diabetic complications through a cross-sectional design.MethodsThe National Metabolic Management Center(MMC) serves as a comprehensive platform dedicated to the establishment of standardized protocols for the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term follow-up of metabolic diseases. …”

The Role of Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase-1 in Rheumatoid Arthritis by Samuel García, Carmen Conde

“…In addition to the role of PARP-1 in DNA repair, multiple studies have also demonstrated its involvement in several inflammatory diseases, such as septic shock, asthma, atherosclerosis, and stroke, as well as in cancer. In these diseases, the pharmacological inhibition of PARP-1 has shown a beneficial effect, suggesting that PARP-1 regulates their inflammatory processes. …”

Type A Behaviours and Heart Disease: Epidemiological and Experimental Foundations by Paul Bennett, Douglas Carroll

“…This paper critically examines three strands of evidence that concern the relationship between type A behaviours and coronary heart disease; prospective epidemiological studies of healthy populations, studies of those at high risk for coronary heart disease, and angiographic studies of atherosclerosis. The first of these would seem to provide the strongest test. …”

The Impact of Incretin-Based Medications on Lipid Metabolism by Habib Yaribeygi, Mina Maleki, Alexandra E. Butler, Tannaz Jamialahmadi, Amirhossein Sahebkar

“…Thus, diabetes is commonly accompanied by varying degrees of dyslipidemia which is itself a major risk factor for further macro- and microvascular diabetes complications such as atherosclerosis and nephropathy. Therefore, normalizing lipid metabolism is an attractive goal for therapy in patients with diabetes. …”

Advanced Asymptomatic Carotid Disease and Cognitive Impairment: An Understated Link? by Irena Martinić-Popović, Arijana Lovrenčić-Huzjan, Vida Demarin

“…Neurosonological methods enable simple and noninvasive assessment of carotid stenosis in patients at risk of advanced atherosclerosis. Cognitive status in patients diagnosed with advanced carotid stenosis is routinely not taken into consideration, although if cognitive impairment is present, such patients should probably be called symptomatic. …”

Cardiovascular and Renal Links along the Cardiorenal Continuum by José A. García-Donaire, Luis M. Ruilope

“…The majority of vascular events are caused by accelerated atherosclerosis. Moreover, cardiovascular events rarely occur in patients without underlying disease; rather, they typically take place as the final stage of a pathophysiological process that results in progressive vascular damage, including vital organ damage, specifically the kidney and the heart if these factors are uncontrolled. …”
