Is Mean Platelet Volume a Predictive Marker for the Development of Thrombosis in Patients with COVID-19 Infection? Open
Mean platelet volume (MPV) can provide important information about the course and prognosis of many diseases. MPV is an early indicator of platelet activation, which has an important role in the pathogenesis of thrombosis. In this study, w…

The Effect of Ambient Air Pollution on Office, Home, and 24-Hour Ambulatory Blood Pressure Measurements Open
Background Air pollution has recently been linked to a number of cardiovascular diseases, particularly hypertension (HT). In our study, we aimed to evaluate the association between air pollution and blood pressure (BP) and compare the rela…

Down‐regulation of miRNA 145 and up‐regulation of miRNA 4516 may be associated with primary hypertension Open
Complex mechanisms including genetic factors have been proposed in the pathogenesis of primary hypertension (HT). Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are single‐stranded RNA molecules that are not converted into protein products. However, it has been esta…
