Microalbuminuria as an Independent Screening Tool in Patients with Myocardial Infarction
Abstract: Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is a condition in which there is an inadequate supply of blood and oxygen to a portion of myocardium; most common cause being atherosclerosis of coronary vessels. Microalbuminuria (MAU) is defined as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) of 30–300 mg/g. It is considered as marker of generalized endothelial dysfunction and vasculopathy and suggested to contribute to the formation of atherosclerotic lesion and ultimately leading to risk of …

Differential Gene Expression Analysis of Human Atrial Fibroblasts Reveals Dysregulation of RNA Metabolism and Translational Machinery in Atrial Fibrillation
Abstract: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex cardiac arrhythmia characterized by extensive structural remodeling and the activation of atrial fibroblasts, which drive the progression of fibrosis. To identify the underlying transcriptomic alterations, we analyzed six human atrial fibroblast RNA-Seq datasets (three control and three AF) retrieved from the Sequence Read Archive. After performing rigorous quality control and adapter trimming, we aligned the reads to the GRCh38 human reference genome using a …

Role of Nitric Oxide in Platelets of Breast Carcinoma
Abstract: Breast cancer is a disease of multifactorial origin; it is seen frequently in women of older age, having family history, affluent society, late age of marriage and first childbirth, early menarche, late menopause, and nulliparity. Oxidative stress results when balance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and antioxidant defence is lost which result in mutations, sister chromatid exchanges, cytotoxicity, carcinogenesis etc. Clinical, experimental and epidemiological studies suggest that free radicals …

Development of Polymersomes as Macromolecular Platforms for Nanomedicine
Abstract: The conventional method of drug delivery is plagued with instability, low targeting and low bioavailability. A solution to these shortcomings is the use of polymersomes, artificial vesicles that are produced through self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymer, and they are suggested as universal nanoscale carriers. They have stiff, tunable membranes (thickness = 2–50 nm) due to accurate control of polymer chemistry, chain length, and hydrophilic mass fraction (f), which allows predictability …
