Global variation in lipoprotein/a levels among patients with coronary heart dis...
Barkas, Fotios; Brandts, Julia; De Bacquer, Dirk; Jennings, Catriona; De Backer, Guy G.; Kotseva, Kornelia; Ryden, Lars; Lip, Gregory Y. H.Background Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is a common risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, potentially more atherogenic per particle than low-density lipoprotein. An estimated 1.5 billion individuals globally have elevated levels ≥125 nmol/L, considered as a risk-enhancing threshold. Although Lp(a) levels vary by ethnicity, ongoing trials of novel therapies in predominantly secondary prevention patie...
Frequency of residual combined dyslipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia in patient...
Santos, Raul D.; Ray, Kausik K.; De Bacquer, Dirk; Jennings, Catriona; Kotseva, Kornelia; Rydén, Lars; Lip, Gregory Y. H.; Erlund, Iris; Ganly, SandraBackground and aims: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is independently associated with risk of atherosclerotic events, even when LDL-cholesterol levels appear controlled. This INTERASPIRE study determined the frequency of HTG and residual combined dyslipidemia and their related factors in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) from 13 countries across six World Health Organization (WHO) regions. Methods: Particip...
Variation in secondary prevention of coronary heart disease: the INTERASPIRE study
McEvoy, John William; Jennings, Catriona; Kotseva, Kornelia; De Bacquer, Dirk; De Backer, Guy; Erlund, Iris; Vihervaara, Terhi; Lip, Gregory Y HBackground and aims: INTERASPIRE is an international study of coronary heart disease (CHD) patients, designed to measure if guideline standards for secondary prevention and cardiac rehabilitation are being achieved in a timely manner. Methods: Between 2020 and 2023, adults hospitalized in the preceding 6-24 months with incident or recurrent CHD were sampled in 14 countries from all 6 World Health Organization r...

Horev, Benjamin; Klein, Marlise I. [UNESP]; Hwang, Geelsu; Li, Yong; Kim, Dongyeop; Koo, Hyun; Benoit, Danielle S. W.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-29T07:25:56Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2015-03-24; Development of effective therapies to control oral biofilms is challenging, as topically introduced agents must avoid rapid clearance from biofilm-tooth interfaces while targeting biofilm microenvironments. Additionally, exopolysaccharides-matrix and acidification of biofilm microenvironments are associ...
Move Abroad to Move Forward? Self-Assessments of Chinese Students and Undocumen...
Lévy, Florence; Li, YongMigrants’ self-assessments refer to their perceptions of social mobility and positioning. These assessments are often ambivalent and counterintuitive for observers. To overcome contradictory first impressions, we propose a comprehensive approach to migrants’ self-assessments that goes beyond the opposition between objective and subjective social mobility and links the transnational context, various social spher...
