Show abstract
When speaking of pathologies caused or aggravated by the constant ingestion of ethanol, people with liver and central nervous system diseases soon come to mind, however, the acute intake of large amounts of ethanol and chronic abuse induce toxic effects in the majority of tissues. The heart is highlighted, since alcoholic cardiomyopathy (AC) has prevalence among alcoholics of 23 to 40% and occurs more frequently in men than in women. AC is characterized by dilation and poor contraction of one or both ventricles in the presence of increased ventricular wall thickness, along with a long history of ethanol abuse and no other cause identified. Our aim is to quantify the rate of cardiac tissue replacement, collagen fiber deposition and pro inflammatory cytokines in the left ventricle myocardium of volunteer ethanol drinking rats.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
