Abstract TMP119: Evaluation of Cognitive Function and Plasma Biomarkers in a Microemboli-Based VCID Model in Rats: Applying Clinical Recommendations From MarkVCID and the Lacunar Intervention Trial-2 (LACI-2) to a Preclinical Model

Stroke Journal

Diabetes doubles the risk of VCID. We showed that diabetic but not control rats develop a progressive cognitive decline in a microemboli (ME) model of VCID. Behavioral deficits observed in the untreated diabetic rats were not noted in the treated group. Some of the biomarkers were unchanged (Table).

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

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

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. Analysis of inflammatory biomarkers and coronary CTA was also performed at baseline and 4 weeks after treatment.

Physiology Friday #200: Higher Aerobic Fitness is Tied to Slower Biological Aging

Physiologically Speaking

One of the most promising biomarkers of biological age are so-called DNA methylation-based age estimators, otherwise known as DNA methylation age clocks. A few biochemical measures were associated with biological age: higher triglycerides predicted faster age acceleration while higher HDL cholesterol predicted slower age acceleration.

Cardiovascular sequelae of trastuzumab and anthracycline in long-term survivors of breast cancer

Heart BMJ

Participants underwent clinical cardiovascular evaluation, ECG, cardiac biomarker evaluation and CMR. 58% had total cholesterol >5.0 mmol/L and 5% had a new diagnosis of diabetes. All participants had normal LVEF prior to, and on completion of, treatment. Median time since completion of trastuzumab was 7.8 years (range 5.9–10.8

Abstract TP268: Xylitol, Xylose, and MicroRNAs Associated with Thrombosis and the Clotting Cascade in a Multi-Omics Cross-Sectional Study of Adults at Risk for Type 2 Diabetes and Stroke

Stroke Journal

MicroRNAs (miRs) have been associated with thrombosis and the blood clotting cascade and can provide additional insight about pathogenesis or biomarkers to help establish safe dietary intake guidelines. fasting blood glucose was 103 13 mg/dL, HDL cholesterol was 49 10 mg/dL, and triglycerides were 173 63 mg/dL.

Stroke Journal

Albumin, B12, total bilirubin, cholesterol, CRP, ferritin, iron, folate, hbA1c, HDL, LDL, hemoglobin, MCV, INR, ALT, triglycerides, and vitamin D were abstracted from health records. Future biomarker studies are needed to better understand this relationship. 7.34) and lobar (OR 3.15, 95% CI 1.67-5.94) 5.94) groups.

Comparison of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Cardiometabolic Profiles Between Current and Never Users of Marijuana

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality & Outcomes

Current users (used within the past month) and never users were compared with assess the burden and control of traditional ASCVD risk factors and biomarkers, using inverse probability of treatment weighting to adjust for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, including tobacco use.RESULTS:Of the 13 965 participants identified (mean age, 37.5;
