PNPLA3 Polymorphism Is Inversely Correlated with Aortic Stiffness in Patients with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease Without Fibrosis Open
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) corresponds to the condition of increased hepatic fat levels, which is the leading cause of hepatic failure and carcinoma. It is also an independent risk factor for cardiovas…

Preliminary Study on the Effect of a Night Shift on Blood Pressure and Clock Gene Expression Open
Night shift work has been found to be associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. One of the underlying mechanisms seems to be that shift work promotes hypertension, but results have been variable. This cro…
