JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Introduction Pneumonia is a leading cause of hospitalization among children in the United States, with medical costs estimated at almost $1 billion in 2009. Despite this large burden of disease, critical gaps remain in our knowledge about pneumonia in children [1]. “The rates of para pneumonic effusions have been increasing in the USA and Europe over recent years, and it is now encountered in approximately 40% of all patients with bacterial pneumonias” [2]. “Pediatric pleural empyema has increased substantially over the past 20 years and reasons for this rise remain not fully explained” [3]. The above quotes indicate low efficiency of the modern treatment of acute pneumonia (AP) and the absence of an explanation for this fact. Such a situation implies the search for new solutions to the problem. To the present time, obtained much evidence of the important role of lung reflexes in th

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Opinion Statins are the most commonly used lipid lowering drugs [1]. Recent experimental evidence underscores additional cholesterol independent or pleiotropic effects, contributing to prevention and inhibition of atherosclerosis. These vascular pleiotropic effects include amelioration of endothelial function, the inflammatory process retardation, the thrombus formation blockage, increase of plaque stability and decreasing oxidative stress [2]. Thus, currently statins are believed to be as one of the most powerful drugs for the treatment of vascular disease [3,4]. The treatment of endothelial dysfunction in chronic cardiovascular diseases is already evidenced. Keeping in mind the uniformity of the vascular system physiologically and pathophysiologically, and that it plays a key role in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), endothelial dysfunction should be treated [5,6]. Age-relat

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Abstract Heart failure is a growing challenge both in diagnosis and management globally. Current diagnostic tools have several merits and limitations and the field is in dying need for effective and efficient biomarkers. Emerging biomarkers show promising evidence of revolutionizing the early diagnosis and management of heart failure by cardiologists and non-specialists. Biomarkers are classified according to myocyte changes as such biomarkers in myocyte stress, injury and necrosis, ischemia and fibrosis. In addition, there are biomarkers in heart failure associated with infections, renal dysfunction and neurohormonal biomarkers. This article will briefly discuss key biomarkers with major evidence to galvanize medical field interest in this remarkable field. Keywords: Heart failure; Biomarkers; BNP; NT-proBNP; MR-proANP; MR-proADM; Troponin; GDF-15; Procalcitonin; Gal-3. Abbreviati

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Opinion One generally thinks of the lung as being an extremely fragile structure to accomplish its main job, namely to assure gas diffusion, for which an extremely thin air-blood barrier, about 0.3μm thick, is required. Yet, the idea of a delicate and fragile structure does not hold when thinking of another function of the lung, namely that of keeping the interstitial space and the alveoli “dry”, thus preventing edema formation. From this stand point the lung appears quite a robust structure indeed. The pulmonary interstitum includes a fairly rigid fibrillar component (mostly collagen and elastin) and abundant “linking molecules” (from proteoglycan family) filling the frame of the fibrillary component, providing further rigidity to the lung tissue and keeping capillary permeability (the leakiness of the endothelium for water and solute) quite low [1]. A minimum volume of extravascular
