Abstract

A relative hyperadrenergic tone related to abnormalities of the autonomic nervous system is suspected in the mechanisms of sudden death. Therefore, we assessed the role of an elevated basal heart rate in the occurrence of sudden death in a long-term cohort study. 7746 subjects aged 42--53 years, underwent ECG and physical examination conducted by a physician under standardized conditions, provided blood samples for laboratory tests, and answered questionnaires administered by trained interviewers. The vital status was obtained from specific inquiries up to the time of retirement and then by death certificates. Men with known ischemic heart disease were further excluded from analysis which was conducted on the 7079 remaining subjects. After an average follow-up period of 23 years, there were 2083 deaths, among which were 603 cardiovascular deaths including 118 sudden deaths and 192 following myocardial infarction. The crude risk of sudden death increased linearly with the level of resting heart rate and the risk in men in the highest quintile of heart rate was 3.8 fold than in those in the lowest quintile, whereas rates were approximatively twice higher for fatal myocardial infarction, cardiovascular and total mortality (all P<0...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
