Ionizing radiation, like a variety of other cellular stress factors, initiates apoptosis, or
programmed cell death, in many cell systems. This mode of radiation-induced cell kill should be …

Rationale: Patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (iPAH) often have a low
cardiac output. To compensate, neurohormonal systems such as the renin–angiotensin–…

The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of iron deficiency in idiopathic pulmonary
arterial hypertension (IPAH) and investigate whether oral iron supplementation has …

Synthetic alkyl-lysophospholipids (ALPs) represent a new class of anti-tumor agents that
target cell membranes and induce apoptosis. However, the exact mechanisms by which ALPs …

Synthetic alkyl-lysophospholipids (ALPs, also referred to as ether-phospholipids) have been
studied as antitumor agents for more than a decade. Classical examples of these ALPs …

Alkyl-lysophospholipids (ALPs) represent a new class of antitumor drugs that induce apoptotic
cell death in a variety of tumor cell lines. Although their precise mechanism of action is …

… In addition, LV and RV free wall mass index remained stable (LV: 59 ± 15 g/m 2 before vs.
62 ± 17 g/m 2 after; RV: 51 ± 29 g/m 2 before vs. 56 ± 31 g/m 2 after; both NS; Table S4). …

Background— In idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH), increased right ventricular
(RV) power is required to maintain cardiac output. For this, RV O 2 consumption (MVO 2 ) …

Objectives. SSc-associated pulmonary hypertension (SSc-PH) has a worse prognosis compared
with SSc without PH (SSc-nonPH). Iron deficiency (ID) was previously associated with …

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a lung disease characterized by increased blood
pressure (BP) in the pulmonary circulation ultimately causing right ventricular (RV) failure (…
