Nonspecific angio- and retinopathy is one of the clinical manifestations of a new coronavirus infection. The frequency of occurrence of these changes in people with severe COVID-19
Endothelial integrity maintains microcirculatory flow and tissue oxygen delivery. The endothelial glycocalyx is involved in cell signalling, coagulation and inflammation.
We aimed to investigate endothelial glycocalyx, coronary microcirculatory function and flow-mediated dilation in patients with plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
Chronic inflammation induced by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) plays a key role in the development of early cardiovascular (CV) disease. The impact of currently recommended fir
We aimed to evaluate sublingual microvascular perfusion and glycocalyx barrier properties in psoriasis patients, as well as their correlation with coronary microcirculatory functio
Research reveals that COVID-19 patients have severe damage to microcirculation and the endothelial glycocalyx. The data in a newly released study clearly show severe reduction of m
Endothelial insult and damage is one of the reported consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection. It has been associated with severe inflammation, thrombotic phenomena and profound hypoxe
Heparin biocompatible coating frequently is used to reduce inflammation and blood coagulation during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery. Whether heparin coating is pro
Severe malaria is mostly caused by Plasmodium falciparum, resulting in considerable, systemic inflammation and pronounced endothelial activation. The endothelium forms an interface
Endothelial dysfunction indicates target organ damage in hypertensive patients. The integrity of endothelial glycocalyx (EG) plays a vital role in vascular permeability, inflammati
