Aberrant intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i) homeostasis has been implicated in cardiovascular diseases (CVD) which contributes to endothelial dysfunction. Ca2+ acts as a second messenger and is known to regulate several cell functions. Despite the available evidence of a link between Ca2+ signaling and endothelial dysfunction, mechanisms underlying the development of vascular disease remain incompletely understood. Besides Ca2+, reactive oxygen species have also been implicated in endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction.

Over 47% of family members who care for a relative with Alzheimer?s disease or a related dementia (ADRD) engage in physical or psychological abuse or neglect. Cross-sectional studies report caregiver stress and behavioral symptoms of dementia are correlated with elder abuse and neglect (EAN), making the caregiver burden theory the leading explanation for EAN.
