    Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by clustered age-independent concentric left ventricular (LV) geometry, geometry-independent systolic dysfunction and age and heart rate-independent diastolic dysfunction. Concentric LV geometry is always associated with echocardiographic markers of abnormal LV relaxation and increased myocardial stiffness, two hallmarks of diastolic dysfunction. Non-haemodynamic mechanisms such as metabolic and electrolyte abnormalities, activation of biological pathways and chronic exposure to cytokine cascade and the myocardial macrophage system also impact myocardial structure and impair the architecture of the myocardial scaffold, producing and increasing reactive fibrosis and altering myocardial distensibility. This review addresses the pathophysiology of diastole in CKD and its relations with cardiac mechanics, haemodynamic loading, structural conditions, non-haemodynamic factors and metabolic characteristics. The three mechanisms of diastole will be examined: elastic recoil, active relaxation and passive distensibility and filling. Based on current evidence, we briefly provide methods for quantification of diastolic function and discuss whether diastolic dysfunction represents a distinct characteristic in CKD or a proxy of the severity of the cardiovascular condition, with the potential to be predicted by the general cardiovascular phenotype. Finally, the review discusses assessment of diastolic function in the context of CKD, with special emphasis on end-stage kidney disease, to indicate whether and when in-depth measurements might be helpful for clinical decision making in this context.

    Abstract Conventionally, hypertension is defined by the same blood pressure (BP) threshold (systolic BP ≥140 and/or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg) in both women and men. Several studies have documented that women with hypertension are more prone to develop BP-associated organ damage and that high BP is a stronger risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women than men. While healthy young women have lower BP than men, a steeper increase in BP is found in women from the third decade of life. Studies have documented that the BP-attributable risk for acute coronary syndromes (ACS), heart failure and AF increases at a lower level of BP in women than in men. Even high normal BP (130-139/80-89 mmHg) is associated with an up to twofold higher risk of ACS during midlife in women, but not in men. Whether sex-specific thresholds for definition of hypertension would improve CVD risk detection should be considered in future guidelines for hypertension management and CVD prevention.

    Abstract In pharmaceutical industry, a deep understanding on the physical properties of drug substance and excipients is critical for the quality control of solid dose drug product. The purpose of this work is to develop a quantitative simulation calibration and prediction platform to model powder compression by applying the Discrete Element Method (DEM). The Luding elasto-plastic contact model was applied for particle-particle interactions. The loading stiffness, the unloading stiffness ratio, and the particle density (which served by adjusting the bulk volume of a specific mass of particles) were determined as influential parameters in this study. Calibration was established between DEM parameters and compression profile of pharmaceutical powders in a short timeframe. This platform could capture the main compressibility characteristics of pharmaceutical materials and could successfully provide quantitative predictions on compression profiles of mixtures. It was recommended for development of solid dose DP especially when the amount of DS was limited.
