This study, utilizing SBF-SEM, reveals structural alterations in mitochondria and myofibrils in human heart failure (HF). Mitochondria in HF show changes in structure, while myofibrils exhibit increased cross-sectional area and branching. Metabolomic and lipidomic analyses indicate concomitant dysregulation in key pathways. The findings underscore the need for personalized treatments considering individualized structural changes in HF.

Epilepsy is a common chronic nervous system disease that threatens human health. However, the role of FOXC1 and its relations with pyroptosis have not been fully studied in epilepsy. Sprague-Dawley rats were obtained for constructing temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) models.

Importance: The cardiovascular benefits of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may vary by body mass index (BMI), but evidence on BMI-specific outcomes remains limited.
Objective: To investigate the associations of GLP-1 RA use with cardiovascular and kidney outcomes across BMI categories in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort study used the Chang Gung Research Database, a clinical dataset covering multiple hospitals in Taiwan.

The patient had rheumatic heart disease, which resulted in severe aortic and mitral valve regurgitation. Repair of both valves was performed at 9 years of age. During surgery, the retracted aortic valve cusps required extension with bovine pericardial patches and suture reduction annuloplasty, and the mitral valve was repaired using a Cosgrove-Edwards (Edwards Lifesciences LLC, Irvine, CA) annuloplasty band.

Objectives: To explore the relationships between cardiac parameters and body composition indices, identifying predictors of subclinical cardiac systolic dysfunction.
Methods: Using anthropometric and serological parameters, echocardiography, and body composition analysis, this study evaluated metabolic profiles, cardiac remodeling patterns, and body composition characteristics in young adult obese patients, while quantifying the correlations between cardiac parameters and body composition indices. Subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction was defined as global longitudinal strain (GLS) < 18%.

c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs), a subfamily of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), are key mediators of cellular responses to environmental stress, inflammation, and apoptotic signals. The three isoforms-JNK1, JNK2, and JNK3 exhibit both overlapping and isoform-specific functions. While JNK1 and JNK2 are broadly expressed across tissues and regulate immune signaling, cell proliferation, and apoptosis, JNK3 expression is largely restricted to the brain, heart, and testis, where it plays a crucial role in neuronal function and survival.
