Abstract Aging is associated with increased prevalence and severity of pathogenic outcomes of periodontal disease, including soft tissue degeneration and bone loss around the teeth. Although lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from the key periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) plays an important role in the promotion of inflammation and osteoclastogenesis via toll-like receptor (TLR)4 signaling, its pathophysiological role in age-associated periodontitis remains unclear....

Abstract Cardiac diastolic dysfunction in aging arises from increased ventricular stiffness caused by inflammation and interstitial fibrosis. The diastolic dysfunction contributes to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which in the aging population is more common in women. This report examines its progression over 12 weeks in aging C57BL/6J mice and correlates its development with changes in macrophage polarization and collagen deposition. ...

Η φαρμακευτική αγωγή για τον έλεγχο της υψηλής αρτηριακής πίεσης θα μπορούσε να βελτιώσει τα ποσοστά επιβίωσης από COVID-19 και να μειώσει τη σοβαρότητα της λοίμωξης, υποστηρίζει μια νέα έρευνα από το Πανεπιστήμιο της Ανατολικής Αγγλίας (UEA). Οι ερευνητές μελέτησαν 28.000 ασθενείς που λάμβαναν αντιυπερτατσικά φάρμακα και βρήκαν ότι ο κίνδυνος σοβαρής ασθένειας από τη νόσο COVID-19 που προκαλεί ο νέος κορωνοϊός μειωνόταν στους πάσχοντες από υπέρταση που λάμβαναν αναστολείς του μετατρεπτικού ενζύμου...

Φάρμακα κατά της στυτικής δυσλειτουργίας ενδεχομένως να ενισχύουν τα ποσοστά επιβίωσης σε ασθενείς με καρκίνο του παχέος εντέρου, υποδεικνύει νέα έρευνα που δημοσιεύθηκε στο Nature Communications. Συγκεκριμένα, οι ερευνητές βρήκαν ότι τα φάρμακα αυτά μείωναν τον κίνδυνο πρόωρου θανάτου ασθενών με καρκίνο του παχέος εντέρου κατά σχεδόν 20%. Επιπλέον, οι πάσχοντες είχαν κατά 15% λιγότερες πιθανότητες να πεθάνουν από τη βασική αιτία θανάτου του καρκίνου του παχέος εντέρου, η οποία είναι ο καρκίνος...

Η παρουσία δύο ή περισσότερων μακροχρόνιων παθήσεων -κατάσταση γνωστή ως συννοσηρότητα- συνδέεται με 48% υψηλότερο κίνδυνο θετικού αποτελέσματος στο τεστ κορωνοϊού, σύμφωνα με νέα μελέτη που δημοσιεύθηκε στο PLOS ONE. Παρόλο που γνωρίζουμε ήδη πως ο κίνδυνος σοβαρής λοίμωξης από την COVID-19 συνδέεται με συγκεκριμένες μακροχρόνιες παθήσεις, λίγα έχουν γίνει γνωστά μέχρι σήμερα σχετικά με τις επιδράσεις της συννοσηρότητας και της πολυφαρμακίας (ταυτόχρονη λήψη πολλών φαρμάκων) στον κίνδυνο σοβαρής...
