BMI indicates body mass index; CI, confidence interval; CNP, C-type natriuretic peptide; E, mitral peak velocity of early filling; and HR, hazard ratio. HR for subjects with values in the highest ...

Finally, we explore the concept of ‘autoinhibition’ which is a recently described observation that humans have innate NEP inhibitory capability when natriuretic peptide levels rise above a threshold.

Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Testing for natriuretic peptide markers, such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) or N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP), has ...

Previous studies on the value of brain natriuretic peptide in diastolic dysfunction have been largely limited to male subjects. The authors found that female gender, in addition to diastolic ...

Objective: To determine normal values of plasma B type natriuretic peptide from infancy to adolescence using a commercially available rapid assay. Setting: Tertiary referral centre. Design: The study ...

Plasma B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) could be helpful in these cases ... and eGFR values with log-BNP levels in the CKD with anaemia group was slightly stronger than that in the healthy condition ...

They can be stimulated by exogenous nitric oxide donors and natriuretic peptides, although these have clinical limitations. Inhibition of phosphodiesterase 5a (PDE5a) with sildenafil may provide ...

If your phone can't get service, don't panic: You can still access Google Maps by following these steps. Nelson Aguilar is an LA-based tech how-to writer and graduate of UCLA. With more than a ...

2024 was a big year for the navigation software space, with Google becoming the most active player in a market where rivals were supposed to spend big dollars. Apple has been almost dormant in ...

This repository provides the official implementations and experiments for Large Concept Models (LCM). The LCM operates on an explicit higher-level semantic representation, which we name a "concept".
