Cardiologists, who understand the prognostic risks of depression in CVD and feel confident to identify and treat depression, were more likely to screen, refer and/or treat patients for depression. Conclusions: Australian cardiologists rarely use validated depression screening measures. Several brief instruments are available for use and can be easily integrated into routine patient care without taking additional consultation time. © 2019]]> Wed 25 Nov 2020 10:04:13 AEDT ]]> Bronchial thermoplasty reduces airway resistance http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:14777 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:02:51 AEST ]]> Cohort profile : the Australian genetics of depression study http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:14577 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:02:40 AEST ]]> Confirming a beneficial effect of the six-minute walk test on exercise confidence in patients with heart failure http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:14253 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:02:20 AEST ]]> May measurement month 2018 : A pragmatic global screening campaign to raise awareness of blood pressure by the international society of hypertension http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:14048 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:02:08 AEST ]]> Self-care interventions that reduce hospital readmissions in patients with heart failure; towards the identification of change agents http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13907 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:02:00 AEST ]]> Family presence during resuscitation (FPDR) : A qualitative descriptive study exploring the experiences of emergency personnel post resuscitation http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13902 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:59 AEST ]]> Factors contributing to COPD hospitalisations from 2010 to 2015 : Variation among rural and metropolitan Australians http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13877 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:58 AEST ]]> Higher long-term adherence to statins in rural patients at high atherosclerotic risk http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13796 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:54 AEST ]]> Renal nerves contribute to hypertension in Schlager BPH/2J mice http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13780 0.1). The depressor response to pentolinium was greater in BPH/2J than BPN/3J, but in both cases the response in RD mice was similar to sham. Enalaprilat decreased MAP more in RD BPH/2J compared to sham (−12 vs −3 mmHg, P < 0.001) but had no effect in BPN/3J. RD reduced renal noradrenaline in both strains but more so in BPH/2J. RD reduced renin mRNA and protein, but not plasma renin in BPH/2J to levels comparable with BPN/3J mice. We conclude that renal nerves contribute to hypertension in BPH mice as RD induced a sustained fall in MAP, which was associated with a reduction of intrarenal renin expression. The lack of inhibition of the depressor effects of pentolinium and enalaprilat by RD suggests that vasoconstrictor effects of the SNS or RAS are not involved.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:53 AEST ]]> Cardiomyocyte functional etiology in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is distinctive - A new preclinical model http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13680 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:47 AEST ]]> The efficacy of different modes of analgesia in postoperative pain management and early mobilization in postoperative cardiac surgical patients : A systematic review http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13530 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:39 AEST ]]> Cardiac response to exercise in normal ageing : What can we learn from masters athletes? http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13501 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:38 AEST ]]> Ambulatory blood pressure may be designed as the primary efficacy outcome in clinical trials on renal denervation http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13407 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:33 AEST ]]> It is urgent to investigate predictors of the response of blood pressure to renal denervation http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13406 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:33 AEST ]]> It may be not suitable to perform renal denervation in renal arteries with significant stenosis http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13404 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:33 AEST ]]> Limitations in current clinical trials on renal denervation http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13405 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:33 AEST ]]> Single-sided renal denervation may be not suitable for patients with significant renal artery stenosis http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13408 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:33 AEST ]]> Resveratrol inhibits growth of experimental abdominal aortic aneurysm associated with upregulation of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:13242 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:01:24 AEST ]]> Dysregulation of c-kit expression parallels the development of spontaneous genetic cardiac hypertrophy http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12775 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:00:59 AEST ]]> Angiotensin converting enzyme 2 and atherosclerosis http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12293 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:00:34 AEST ]]> Angiotensin II, Sympathetic nerve activity and chronic heart failure http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12292 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:00:34 AEST ]]> A peptide antagonist of thrombospondin-1 promotes abdominal aortic aneurysm progression in the angiotensin II-infused apolipoprotein-E-deficient mouse http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:12224 Wed 07 Apr 2021 14:00:31 AEST ]]> High-intensity interval training and cardiac autonomic control in individuals with metabolic syndrome: A randomised trial http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11993 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:57:17 AEST ]]> Experimental and human evidence for Lipocalin-2 (Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin NGAL ) in the development of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11958 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:57:15 AEST ]]> Wnt signaling pathway inhibitor Sclerostin inhibits angiotensin II-induced aortic aneurysm and atherosclerosis http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11954 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:57:14 AEST ]]> Cardiovascular risk and androgenic anabolic steroids http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11736 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:57:01 AEST ]]> Genetics of blood pressure : Time to curate the collection http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11640 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:56 AEST ]]> Genetic variation within the Y chromosome is not associated with histological characteristics of the atherosclerotic carotid artery or aneurysmal wall http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11392 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:42 AEST ]]> Dynamics of IL-4 and IL-13 expression in the airways of sheep following allergen challenge http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11270 2 cytokines. We hypothesized that airway exposure to HDM allergen would induce or elevate the expression profile of IL-4 and IL-13 during the allergic airway response in this large animal model of asthma. Methods: Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) samples were collected from saline-and house dust mite (HDM)-challenged lung lobes of sensitized sheep from 0 to 48h post-challenge. BAL cytokines (IL-4, IL-13, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-aα) were each measured by ELISA. IL-4 and IL-13 expression was assessed in BAL leukocytes by flow cytometry and in airway tissue sections by immunohistology. Results: IL-4 and IL-13 were increased in BAL samples following airway allergen challenge. HDM challenge resulted in a significant increase in BAL IL-4 levels at 4h compared to saline-challenged airways, while BAL IL-13 levels were elevated at all time-points after allergen challenge. IL-6 levels were maintained following HDM challenge but declined after saline challenge, while HDM administration resulted in an acute elevation in IL-10 at 4h but no change in TNF-aα levels over time. Lymphocytes were the main early source of IL-4, with IL-4 release by alveolar macrophages (AMs) prominent from 24h post-allergen challenge. IL-13 producing AMs were increased at 4 and 24h following HDM compared to saline challenge, and tissue staining provided evidence of IL-13 expression in airway epithelium as well as immune cells in airway tissue. Conclusion: In a sheep model of allergic asthma, airway inflammation is accompanied by the temporal release of key cytokines following allergen exposure that primarily reflects the Th2-driven nature of the immune response in asthma. The present study demonstrates for the first time the involvement of IL-4 and IL-13 in a relevant large animal model of allergic airways disease. © 2015 Liravi et al.]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:37 AEST ]]> Tripartite motif-containing 55 identified as functional candidate for spontaneous cardiac hypertrophy in the rat locus cardiac mass 22 http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10751 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:06 AEST ]]> Coronary artery disease : Why we should consider the Y chromosome http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10738 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:56:05 AEST ]]> Early post-operative mortality after major lower limb amputation : A systematic review of population and regional based studies http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10587 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:55:55 AEST ]]> Cognitive behaviour therapy for older adults experiencing insomnia and depression in a community mental health setting: Study protocol for a randomised controlled trial http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10354 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:55:42 AEST ]]> A multi-omics glimpse into the biology of arterial stiffness http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:10341 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:55:41 AEST ]]> Coronary artery disease predisposing haplogroup I of the Y chromosome, aggression and sex steroids - Genetic association analysis http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:9603 1000 young apparently healthy white men from the general population. Each Y chromosome was classified into one of 13 most common European lineages. Androgens (DHEA-S, androstenedione, total testosterone) and their metabolites (total estradiol, estrone) were measured by radioimmunoassays. Information on five dimensions of aggression (total, physical, verbal, anger and hostility) was collected using Buss and Perry questionnaire. Results: Approximately 17% men inherited haplogroup I from their fathers. Carriers of haplogroup I showed lower scores of verbal aggression than men with other haplogroups (beta = -0.72, SE = 0.29, P = 0.012) and when further compared to carriers of most common R1a lineage and other haplogroups (beta = -1.03, SE = 0.34, P = 0.003). However, these associations did not survive a correction for multiple testing. Sex steroids did not show even nominal level of association with haplogroup I. Conclusion: Our data show no overall association between haplogroup I and sex-related phenotypes in young white men. These results also suggest that the previously identified association between haplogroup I and coronary artery disease is not likely mediated by unfavourable profile of sex steroids or heightened aggression early in life.

We then performed an in silico analysis to predict the miRNAs that are able to bind to the 3′ untranslated region of Endog mRNA, and therefore could regulate Endog levels. We discovered that the miRNAs let-7b, miR-338 and miR-347 are predicted to bind to Endog mRNA. Functional studies are being undertaken to determine whether these miRNAs can regulate Endog mRNA levels in vitro and their role in the pathological processes leading to cardiac hypertrophy. These miRNAs could be a new target for the prevention and treatment of cardiac hypertrophy in humans]]> Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:44:20 AEST ]]> Neutrophil elastase mutations and risk of leukaemia in severe congenital neutropenia http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:745 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:31:43 AEST ]]> Glycogen storage disease http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:462 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:31:22 AEST ]]> Severe chronic neutropenia : Treatment and follow-up of patients in the severe chronic neutropenia international registry http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:222 Wed 07 Apr 2021 13:31:05 AEST ]]> May measurement month 2019 the global blood pressure screening campaign of the International Society of Hypertension http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:14703 = 18 years) recruited through opportunistic sampling were screened at sites in 92 countries during May 2019. Ideally, 3 blood pressure readings were measured for each participant, and data on lifestyle factors and comorbidities were collected. Hypertension was defined as a systolic blood pressure >= 140 mm Hg, or a diastolic blood pressure >= 90 mm Hg (mean of the second and third readings) or taking antihypertensive medication. When necessary, multiple imputation was used to estimate participants' mean blood pressure. Mixed-effects models were used to evaluate associations between blood pressure and participant characteristics. Of 1 508 130 screenees 482 273 (32.0%) had never had a blood pressure measurement before and 513 337 (34.0%) had hypertension, of whom 58.7% were aware, and 54.7% were on antihypertensive medication. Of those on medication, 57.8% were controlled to <140/90 mm Hg, and 28.9% to <130/80 mm Hg. Of all those with hypertension, 31.7% were controlled to <140/90 mm Hg, and 350 825 (23.3%) participants had untreated or inadequately treated hypertension. Of those taking antihypertensive medication, half were taking only a single drug, and 25% reported using aspirin inappropriately. This survey is the largest ever synchronized and standardized contemporary compilation of global blood pressure data. This campaign is needed as a temporary substitute for systematic blood pressure screening in many countries worldwide.]]> Tue 19 Oct 2021 16:23:32 AEDT ]]> Compliance of smokeless tobacco supply chain actors and products with tobacco control laws in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan : protocol for a multicentre sequential mixed-methods study http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:14657 Thu 21 Oct 2021 16:28:00 AEDT ]]> DNA copy number variations – Do these big mutations have a big effect on cardiovascular risk? http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:14247 Thu 20 May 2021 10:20:30 AEST ]]> Human Y Chromosome Exerts Pleiotropic Effects on Susceptibility to Atherosclerosis http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:14223 Thu 19 May 2022 12:38:25 AEST ]]> Prevalence and risk factors of ischaemic stroke in the young : a regional Australian perspective http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:14669 Thu 02 Dec 2021 16:14:24 AEDT ]]> Hypertension and renin-angiotensin system blockers are not associated with expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in the kidney http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:15013 Mon 12 Apr 2021 15:22:09 AEST ]]> Effective pulmonary delivery of an aerosolized plasmid DNA vaccine via surface acoustic wave nebulization http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:11289 Mon 10 May 2021 10:11:54 AEST ]]> The effect of bronchial thermoplasty on airway volume measured 12 months post-procedure http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:15072 Mon 07 Jun 2021 10:28:36 AEST ]]> The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease among primary care patients in Poland : results from the LIPIDOGRAM2015 study http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:15692 80% had dyslipidaemia and <15% of patients were diagnosed with diabetes (DM). All of these disorders were more frequent in men. In 80% of patients the waist circumference exceed norm for the European population. Less than half of the patients were current smokers or had smoked in the past. Patients with CVD had significantly higher blood pressure and glucose levels but lower low density lipoprotein-cholesterol level. Conclusions: The prevalence of CVD and CV risk factors among patients in Poland is high. CVD is more common in men than in women. The most common CV risk factors are excess waist circumference, dyslipidaemia and HTN.
