The Warrior Heart Project Hi my name is Addison Gutierrez! On June 21, 2008 my mom went in for a routine ultrasound. She had low amniotic fluid which meant that she had to have an emergency C section. My dad was a surgery resident at the hospital so he was able to meet her there. I was born at 35 weeks with the lungs of a 28 week old and blue because of my lack of oxygen.

Insulin resistance is a major risk factor for the leading causes of death, the leading one being cardiovascular disease. Everyone sits somewhere on the scale of insulin sensitivity from very insulin sensitive to very insulin resistant at the point of type 2 diabetes. Understanding where you sit on this continuum is a key part of defining your future risk of heart disease but also dementia, and many cancers.

In healthcare, so much of safety and reference materials emphasize how to protect the patient, but there are far fewer resources dedicated toward helping protect you, the provider, over the course of time. While patients may be exposed to radiation only when they come in for an imaging exam or undergo a surgical procedure utilizing a C-arm, the providers who use these systems over the course of years are exposed again and again and again.

As society ages, the number of patients with heart failure is rapidly increasing. The progression of the disease is caused by excessive growth of fibrotic tissue in the heart, known as fibrosis. A group has found that heart fibrosis is regulated by the enzyme protein kinase N (PKN). As there are no therapies targeting PKN, controlling this enzyme is a promising therapeutic target to develop new treatments against heart failure.

Background In acute heart failure (HF), reduced cardiac output, vasoconstriction and congestion may damage the intestinal mucosa and disrupt its barrier function. This could facilitate the leakage of bacterial products into circulation and contribute to inflammation and adverse cardiac remodelling. We aimed to investigate gut leakage markers and their associations with inflammation, infarct size and cardiac function.
