Dofetilide In Structural Heart Disease Overview Dofetilide, a class III antiarrhythmic drug, is approved for managing atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, but it has also been used off-label to treat premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and ventricular tachycardias (VTs). This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of dofetilide for
Mortality In Cancer Patients: Cardio Mortality Meta-Analysis
Mortality In Cancer Patients: Cardio Mortality Meta-Analysis Overview Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a significant cause of non-cancer-related death among cancer survivors, although the level of risk varies depending on the type of cancer. This study aims to review and synthesize existing evidence regarding patterns and the extent of CVD mortality risk
Stellate Ganglion Block Success In Recurrent Ventricular Arrhythmias
Stellate Ganglion Block Success In Recurrent Ventricular Arrhythmias Overview One potential treatment for refractory ventricular arrhythmias is a stellate ganglion block (SGB). This study analyzed the effectiveness of SGB based on patient and arrhythmia characteristics, as well as predictors of success. Conducted across multiple centers in the Czech Republic and the United
Bimekizumab Proves To Be A Highly Effective Therapy For Psoriatic Arthritis Patients
Bimekizumab Proves To Be A Highly Effective Therapy For Psoriatic Arthritis Patients Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting joints, skin, nails, and other tissues. Because it is long-term and can vary significantly between patients, ongoing treatment is needed. Biologic therapies like TNF inhibitors (TNFi) are often combined with
Glaucoma Risk In Children Hinges On Steroid Therapy
Glaucoma Risk In Children Hinges On Steroid Therapy Overview The use of glucocorticoids after pediatric cataract surgery is essential for preventing inflammation, but it poses risks such as secondary glaucoma and suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. This study aimed to evaluate glaucoma outcomes in children receiving either high-dose or low-dose glucocorticoid therapy
Vitamin A Consumption To Ease Depression In Heart Failure Patients
Vitamin A Consumption To Ease Depression In Heart Failure Patients Overview The study aimed to examine the link between vitamin A consumption and depression in patients with heart failure (HF). Utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2007 to 2020, researchers focused on vitamin A intake as
Neuropathy Progression Risk In Patients With Coagulation Abnormalities
Neuropathy Progression Risk In Patients With Coagulation Abnormalities Overview Nearly half of individuals with diabetes develop diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), which is associated with a concerning 53% survival rate within three years. Coagulation abnormalities have been suggested to play a role in the pathogenesis of microvascular complications, including DPN. Therefore, investigating the
Gestational Diabetes Risk Smashed By Vitamin Supplementation
Gestational Diabetes Risk Smashed By Vitamin Supplementation Overview Exposure to heavy metals has been linked to an increased risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), potentially due to oxidative stress mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate whether vitamin C could influence the relationship between heavy metal exposure and the risk of GDM.
Oral Insulin Breakthroughs In Development
Oral Insulin Breakthroughs In Development INTRODUCTION Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder primarily classified into two types: type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). T1DM, an autoimmune disease often diagnosed in adolescence, is marked by the body's inability to produce insulin. In contrast, T2DM, which constitutes the majority
DFT And DTR Compete For Best Gastric Reconstruction Methods After Surgery
DFT And DTR Compete For Best Gastric Reconstruction Methods After Surgery Overview This study aimed to compare the short-term clinical outcomes between two reconstruction methods—double tract reconstruction (DTR) and the double flap technique (DFT)—used after laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy (LPG). The analysis was conducted retrospectively, examining data from patients who underwent these procedures
