Association of chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy stages with obstructive sleep apnea and excessive daytime sleepiness: a cross-sectional study Open
Introduction Chagas disease (CD) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in Latin America. Chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC) is the most severe clinical form. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a highly prevalent sleep-related…
Schooling in the University Town: The Racial Capitalist Foundations of Education Open
This article focuses on how educational institutions are crucial sites for understanding how racial capitalism and anti‐Black violence are reproduced. Centring Chapel Hill, home of the University of North Carolina (UNC), and its neighbouri…

Inflammatory response to elective percutaneous coronary intervention is related to myocardial injury Open
Previous studies have correlated inflammation with complications after percutaneous coronary intervention. In patients with stable coronary disease, percutaneous coronary intervention leads to elevated inflammatory biomarker levels. The in…

TIMI Risk Score for Secondary Prevention to Risk Stratify Chronic Coronary Syndrome Patients: External Validation Study Open
Background Risk stratification in chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) patients is challenging. TIMI Risk Score for Secondary Prevention (TRS2P) is a simple nine-point tool developed to predict cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), …
Unraveling atherosclerosis through single-cell RNA sequencing: insights into cellular heterogeneity and disease mechanisms Open
Atherosclerosis remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The characterization of atherosclerotic lesions reveals that they represent a chronic and progressive inflammatory condition affecting the arterial wall. Despite extensive i…

Safety and possible anti-inflammatory effect of paclitaxel associated with LDL-like nanoparticles (LDE) in patients with chronic coronary artery disease: a double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study Open
Introduction Studies in cholesterol-fed rabbits showed that anti-proliferative chemotherapeutic agents such as paclitaxel associated with solid lipid nanoparticles (LDE) have marked anti-atherosclerotic effects. In addition, association wi…
Research Insights: How Has the COVID-19 Pandemic Affected Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises’ Use of Online Banking? Open
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated the digitalization of micro, small, and medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Latin America. The shift from in-person to online banking transactions has been both significant and permanent, becom…
The association of myocardial strain with cardiac magnetic resonance and clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocarditis Open
Introduction The role of myocardial strain in risk prediction for acute myocarditis (AMC) patients, measured by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), deserves further investigation. Our objective was to evaluate the association between myocard…
The blood has something to say: A hematology-based clock to measure aging in mice Open
Background: Chronological age alone does not sufficiently explain aging heterogeneity. Biological clocks and molecular biomarkers proposed to predict biological age can be difficult to implement in a clinical setting. Aim: In the framework…
View article: Chronic troponin elevation assessed by myocardial T1 mapping in patients with stable coronary artery disease
Chronic troponin elevation assessed by myocardial T1 mapping in patients with stable coronary artery disease Open
Background: Cardiac troponin detected with sensitive assays can be chronically elevated, in the absence of unstable coronary syndromes. In patients with chronic coronary artery disease, clinically silent ischemic episodes may cause chronic…
Monoclonal Antibodies in Idiopathic Chronic Eosinophilic Pneumonia: Protocol for a Scoping Review (Preprint) Open
BACKGROUND Idiopathic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia (ICEP) is a rare disease characterized by pulmonary radiological alterations, peripheral eosinophilia, and demonstrated pulmonary eosinophilia. Oral steroids are the standard management…
The safety of SGLT-2 inhibitors in diabetic patients submitted to elective percutaneous coronary intervention regarding kidney function: SAFE-PCI pilot study Open
Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most performed well-succeeded therapeutic procedures worldwide, reducing symptoms and improving quality of life. Lidocaine associated with gelatinase neutrophilic acid (NGA…
Virtual-Diagnostic-Based Time Stamping for Ultrafast Electron Diffraction Open
In this work, non-destructive virtual diagnostics are applied to retrieve the electron beam time of arrival and energy in a relativistic ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) beamline using independently-measured machine parameters. This te…
