People who eat more ultra-processed foods like soft drinks, chips and cookies may have a higher risk of having memory and thinking problems and having a stroke than those who eat fewer processed foods, according to a new study. The study does not prove that eating ultra-processed foods causes memory and thinking problems and stroke. It only shows an association.

Reduction in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels has consistently demonstrated a reduced risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). There is extensive evidence from randomized trials that demonstrates the effectiveness of lipid-lowering agents in reducing ASCVD-related events.

Modelling human diseases serves as a crucial tool to unveil underlying mechanisms and pathophysiology. Takotsubo syndrome (TS), an acute form of heart failure resembling myocardial infarction, manifests with reversible regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) of the ventricles. Despite its mortality and clinical similarity to myocardial infarction, TS aetiology remains elusive, with stress and catecholamines playing central roles.

About a fifth of all ischemic strokes are attributed to embolization of ruptured atherosclerotic plaque from carotid arterial stenosis. But it has been difficult to predict which person with asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is likely to progress to symptomatic carotid disease and stroke. Now there is evidence linking clonal hematopoiesis, carotid stenosis and stroke.

IntroductionPulmonary hypertension (PH) is a pathological condition that affects approximately 1% of the population. The prognosis for many patients is poor, even after treatment. Our knowledge about the pathophysiological mechanisms that cause or are involved in the progression of PH is incomplete. Additionally, the mechanism of action of many drugs used to treat pulmonary hypertension, including sotatercept, requires elucidation.MethodsUsing our graph-powered knowledge mining software Lifelike
