SummaryMonocytes are key effectors of the immune homeostasis and play a crucial role in (vascular) injury repair. Despite their role in immune defense and tissue repair mechanisms, monocytes are also involved in several pathological conditions such as autoimmune and cardiovascular diseases as well as cancer. This suggests that monocytes can be used as diagnostic and as therapeutic targets. A better understanding and characterisation of monocytes and their function in both physiological and pathological situations is thus of great interest. This review focuses on recent advances on the role of monocytes in cardiovascular diseases and describes the value of monocytes as either disease marker or therapeutic target for (cardio)vascular diseases.

Literature data concerning the role of endothelium and nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, administration of L-arginine as a part of a comprehensive therapy of patients suffering from essential hypertension (EH) and ischemic heart disease (IHD) are cited.Objective: to systematize current literature data concerning the role of endothelium and nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases, clinical experience of L-arginine administration in patients with EH and IHD. Conclusion. Nowadays endothelial dysfunction conception is defined with insufficient production of nitric oxide as a central part of EH and IHD pathogenesis. Nitric oxide deficiency occurring with cardiovascular diseases can be compensated by means of NO donors.

apply plant remedy for centuries, but only currently have scientist begun to the study powers of general herbs and spices. In the present set-up, the anti-proliferative, anti-hypercholesterolemia, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory effects of spices are dominant importance, as the key health hesitation of mankind. Some disease as like diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases, arthritis and cancer are more prevalence diseases. Spices and their active substances which is used as possible preventive agents for health disorders. Spices are a good sources of antioxidants, and scientific studies suggest that they are also effective inhibitors of tissue damage and inflammation caused by high levels of blood sugar and circulating lipids. Because spices are mostly low calorie providing and are relatively inexpensive also, they are reliable sources of antioxidants and other potential bioactive compounds in diet. In this review, overall the role of few more important spices which are used in the Indian dishes for its flavor and taste their potential uses as a medicine to maintain a health.

Recently, due to significant improvement and cheapening of the new generation of full genome sequencing technology, it has become possible to identify acquired mutations in individual cells of the hematopoietic system. This has led to the detection of clones of hematopoietic cells with acquired mutations in certain genes in middle-aged and elderly people and made it possible to characterize a new prepathological state - clonal hemopoiesis. Clonal hemopoiesis is defined as the appearance and clonal expansion of cells of the hemopoietic system with genetic changes that give these cells certain advantages in proliferation and/or resistance to adverse factors in comparison with other hemopoietic cells. This phenomenon is found mainly in individuals after 55 years of age and is practically not found in individuals of young age. At this age, most individuals show signs of cardiovascular pathology of some degree of severity. This review discusses some aspects of the possible impact of clonal hemopoiesis on cardiovascular diseases.

Background: There has long been a lot of debate about the role of nutrition in the pathogenesis of cardio- vascular diseases. Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially n-3 PUFAs are the types of fat that favor metabolic markers and represent central components of the Mediterranean diet, which is considered an ideal dietary pattern with great cardio protective effect. Aim: This study aims to assess the influence of Mediterranean diet on lipid metabolism, compared to not-Mediterranean hypocaloric dietary patterns. Materials and Methods: This prospective clinical trial evaluated total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides and their modifications in a group of adults in relation to the two different kinds of diet: on the one hand the typical western dietetic pattern, characterized by higher intakes of red meat, dairy products and refined grains, low consumption of fruits and vegetables (L-diet), and the Mediterranean diet (M-diet).

The paper exhibits a formal audit on early detection of heart disease which are the major cause of death. Computational science has potential to detect disease in prior stages automatically. With this review paper we describe machine learning for disease detection. Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building.Various techniques develop to predict cardiac disease based on cases through MRI was developed. Automated classification using machine learning. Feature extraction method using Cell Profiler and GLCM. Cell Profiler a public domain software, freely available is flourished by the Broad Institute's Imaging Platform and Glcm is a statistical method of examining texture .Various techniques to detect cardio vascular diseases.

The article analyzes the role of theories of embodied cognition for the development of emotion research. The role and position of emotions changed as philosophy developed. In classical and modern European philosophy, the idea of the “primacy of reason” prevailed over emotions and physicality, emotions and affective life were described as low-ranking phenomena regarding cognitive processes or were completely eliminated as an unknown quantity. In postmodern philosophy, attention focuses on physicality and sensuality, which are rated higher than rational principle, mind and intelligence. Within the framework of this approach, there is a recently emerged theory of embodied cognition, which allows to take a fresh look at the place of emotions in the architecture of mental processes – thinking, perception, memory, imagination, speech. The article describes and analyzes a number of empirical studies showing the impossibility of excluding emotional processes and the significance of their research for understanding the architecture of embodied cognition. However, the features of the architecture of embodied cognition remain unclear, and some of the discoveries of recent years (mirror neurons or neurons of simulation) rather raise new questions and require further research. The rigorously described and clear architecture of the embodied cognition can grow the theoretical basis that will allow to advance the studies of learning processes, language understanding, psychotherapy techniques, social attitudes and stereotypes, highlight the riddle of consciousness and create new theories of consciousness or even create an anthropomorphic artificial intelligence that is close to “strong artificial intelligence.”

AbstractBy examining the issue of the thromboses and hemostasis disorders associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) through the lens of cross-reactivity, it was found that 60 pentapeptides are shared by SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein (gp) and human proteins that— when altered, mutated, deficient or, however, improperly functioning— cause vascular diseases, thromboembolic complications, venous thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, coagulopathies, and bleeding, inter alia. The peptide commonality has a relevant immunological potential as almost all of the shared sequences are present in experimentally validated SARS-CoV-2 spike gp-derived epitopes, thus supporting the possibility of cross-reactions between the viral gp and the thromboses-related human proteins. Moreover, many of the shared peptide sequences are also present in pathogens to which individuals have previously been exposed following natural infection or vaccinal routes, and of which the immune system has stored imprint. Such an immunological memory might rapidly trigger anamnestic secondary cross-reactive responses of extreme affinity and avidity, in this way explaining the thromboembolic adverse events that can associate with SARS-CoV-2 infection or active immunization.
