Association Among Serum Vitamin D Levels, Visual Field Alterations, and Optical Coherence Tomography Parameters: A Clinical Correlation Study

Tudor-Corneliu Tarași, Mihaela-Madalina Timofte-Zorila, Filippo Lixi, Mario Troisi et autres

Vitamin D deficiency is increasingly recognized as a systemic factor influencing retinal health through inflammatory, neuroprotective, and vasculotropic pathways. Evidence regarding early retinal alterations in otherwise healthy adults remains limited. This cross-sectional study evaluated 120 eyes from 60 healthy adults stratified by …

Obesity-Induced PVAT Dysfunction and Atherosclerosis Development: The Role of GHSR-1a in Increased Macrophage Infiltration and Adipocytokine Secretion

Sorin Nicolae Peiu, Florin Zugun‐Eloae, Bogdan Stoica, Ecaterina Anisie et autres

In obesity, recent research revealed that increased expression of the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) in macrophages plays a pivotal role in the development of meta-inflammation, promoting macrophage infiltration and pro-inflammatory polarization. This study aimed to examine the association between GHSR-1a expression …

Role of Chemerin and Perivascular Adipose Tissue Characteristics on Cardiovascular Risk Assessment by Arterial Stiffness Markers in Patients with Morbid Obesity

Viviana Aursulesei, Ecaterina Anisie, C Zamfir, Alexandr Ceasovschih et autres

Background and objective: The development of arterial stiffness (AS) in obesity is a multifactorial and complex process. The pleomorphic actions of adipokines and their local activity in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) are potential modulators of AS appearance and progression. We aimed to …

Determinants of Arterial Stiffness in Patients with Morbid Obesity. The Role of Echocardiography and Carotid Ultrasound Imaging

Viviana Aursulesei, C Zamfir, Ecaterina Anisie, Alexandr Ceasovschih et autres

Background and objective: Morbid obesity is accompanied by an increased cardiovascular (CV) risk, which justifies a multidisciplinary, integrative approach. Arterial stiffness has a well-defined additional role in refining individual CV risk. Given that echocardiography and carotid ultrasound are usual methods for CV …

The Inflammatory Marker HSCRP as a Predictor of Increased Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetics without Atherosclerotic Manifestations

Elena-Daniela Grigorescu, Victorița Șorodoc, Mariana Floria, Ecaterina Anisie et autres

Low-grade inflammation is not only a specific feature in type 2 diabetes mellitus, but also a contributor to cardiovascular risk. Together with insulin resistance as the main characteristic of type 2 diabetes mellitus, subclinical imflammation maintains a vicious cycle of health-damaging processes. …
