Review advances and controversies in the diagnosis and management of systemic lupus erythematosus with visceral involvement (renal, neuropsy-chiatric, cardiopulmonary, and hematologic disease)
For many people, the thought of getting into shape –– or just the act of exercising for that matter –– is like throwing a speeding locomotive into reverse. An enormous amount of energy has to come ...

A brief outline of the food supplement D-ribose and its uses. Includes a review of the literature and practical information on dosage ranges for particular uses including cardiovascular health, ath...
The public is invited to attend a reception and presentation by renowned cardiovascular researcher, Nabil Dib, M.D., M.Sc., F.A.C.C., Director of Cardiovascular Research at Chandler Regional and Me...
Epidemiologic studies show that exposure to fine particulate matter [aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5)] increases the total daily cardiovascular mortality. Impaired cardiac autonomic function, ...
In the last decades cardiovascular diseases greatly increased worldwide, and bioengineering provided new technologies and cardiovascular prostheses to medical doctors and surgeons. Ventricular Assi...
Long-term exposure to urban air pollution may accelerate atherogenesis, but mechanisms
are still unclear. The induction of a low-grade systemic inflammatory state is a plausible mechanistic pathway.
The southern United States (excluding Florida) has the highest age-adjusted rate of cardiovascular
disease (CVD) in the country, with African Americans having a higher prevalence of CVD than Caucas...

There is ample epidemiologic and toxicologic evidence that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) air pollution [aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5)], which derives primarily from combustion pr...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects 71 million American adults and remains the leading cause of death in the United States and Europe. Despite studies that suggest that the development
of CVD may ...
Air pollution has consistently been associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Underlying biological mechanisms are not entirely clear, and hem...
Population-based studies have estimated health risks of short-term exposure to fine particles using mass of PM2.5 (particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter) as the indicator.
Evidence re...
Although many studies have examined the effects of air pollution on mortality, data limitations have resulted in fewer studies of both particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤ 2.5 μm (P...
