Biliary stasis, sludge formation, and gallstones are rising in prevalence, driven by metabolic dysfunction, dietary patterns, hormonal influences, and lifestyle factors. Cholecystectomy—performed approximately 700,000 to 1.2 million timesRead
Abstract Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity (AoPWV) quantifies the propagation speed of the arterial pressure wave through the aorta. As arterial stiffness increases, AoPWV rises — reflecting the degree of vascular aging and correlating strongly with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Background and Standardization Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is internationally recognizedRead
It’s well known that fatty acids mediate inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) found in cold water fish and fish oil supplements, produce metabolites in the body called specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs). SPMs include resolvins, maresins, lipoxins, and protectins, and help to resolve inflammation andRead
