BACKGROUND: Acute inflammation induced by COVID-19 may lead to atherosclerotic plaque development or complicate existing plaque. In this study, we aimed to determine the atherogenic effect of COVID-19 pneumonia, confirmed by thoracic computed tomography, on coronary and carotid arteries in patients who recovered from the disease. METHODS: Our study included patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 in our hospital at least 1 year ago, recovered, and then underwent coronary CT angiography with suspected coronary artery disease...

BACKGROUND: The incidence of hyperlipidemic acute pancreatitis (HLAP) has been increasing annually. However, population-based morbidity assessments need to be updated. Early, rapid, and effective lipid-lowering may minimize pancreatic injury and improve clinical prognosis. It is essential to choose the proper treatment. However, treatment options for HLAP are controversial, and there is no uniform treatment protocol. METHODS: In this retrospective study, 127 patients with hyperlipidemic severe acute pancreatitis (HL-SAP) were registered from January 2018 to December 2022 at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University...

INTRODUCTION: Calcium channel blockers (CCB), a commonly prescribed antihypertensive (AHT) medicine, may be associated with increased risk of breast cancer. The proposed study aims to examine whether long-term CCB use is associated with the development of breast cancer and to characterise the dose-response nature of any identified association, to inform future hypertension management. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The study will use data from 2 of Australia's largest cohort studies; the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health, and the 45 and Up Study, combined with the Rotterdam Study...

OBJECTIVE: Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) permits both qualitative and quantitative analysis of atherosclerotic plaque and may be a suitable risk modifier in assessing patients at intermediate risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. We sought to determine the association of plaque components with long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in asymptomatic intermediate-risk patients, compared with conventional coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. METHODS: 100 intermediate-risk patients underwent double-blinded CCTA...

INTRODUCTION: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) dysfunction is a prevalent complication among maintenance hemodialysis patients. However, the factors influencing AVF patency remain unclear. To address this, we conducted a study aimed at identifying factors contributing to AVF dysfunction in this patient population. METHODS: The study compared clinical data, vascular calcification score, and laboratory data focusing on blood cell composition and coagulation in 100 maintenance hemodialysis patients in whom an AVF had been inserted from January through September of 2022...

BACKGROUND: Bone mineral density plays a key role in the assessment of operative instrumentation complications and clinical outcomes. The MRI-based vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score has been introduced as a novel marker of bone quality. However, few studies have investigated the relationship between VBQ score and patients associated with cervical ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). PURPOSE: The aims of the study were (1) to reveal bone mineral density between cervical OPLL and cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) group by VBQ score, (2) to compare the VBQ score of cervical OPLL between male and female group, (3) to explore the relationship between segmental VBQ scores associated with OPLL...

OBJECTIVE: There is a need for improved outcomes in the endovascular treatment of patients suffering from chronic limb threatening ischaemia (CLTI), highly calcified lesions and chronic total occlusions (CTOs). The helical centreline self expanding BioMimics 3D stent might be particularly useful in these high risk subsets, combining flexibility and fracture resistance with radial strength. Herein, the performance of the BioMimics 3D stent was assessed in these high risk subsets. METHODS: MIMICS-3D is a prospective, multicentre European real world registry...

INTRODUCTION: The primary dietary approach for managing cow's milk allergy (CMA) is the elimination diet. We aimed to compare the growth patterns of children with CMA during and after the elimination diet with healthy peers and identify influencing factors. METHODS: We compared 74 CMA children with age-matched healthy peers. Anthropometric data were collected during the third month of cow's milk elimination (CME) diet (T1), 3 months after diet cessation (T2), and after ≥3 months of normal diet (T3)...

The coronary artery calcium score (CAC-score) using imaging is a cardiovascular screening tool that can be used in adults with no known cardiovascular disease and no symptoms suggestive of a cardiovascular pathology. It involves calculating the amount of calcification in the coronary arteries on a low-dose, non-injected chest CT-scan. A positive score above 0 is associated with more cardiovascular events. The CAC-score is currently selectively recommended for certain adults at intermediate cardiovascular risk, when the introduction of lipid-lowering treatment or the intensification of preventive measures remain uncertain...

Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) has prognostic value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in asymptomatic individuals, whereas its role in symptomatic patients is less clear. Purpose To assess the prognostic value of CAC scoring for MACE in participants with stable chest pain initially referred for invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Materials and Methods This prespecified subgroup analysis from the Diagnostic Imaging Strategies for Patients With Stable Chest Pain and Intermediate Risk of Coronary Artery Disease (DISCHARGE) trial, conducted between October 2015 and April 2019 across 26 centers in 16 countries, focused on adult patients with stable chest pain referred for ICA...

PURPOSE: The objective of this study is to investigate the associated risk factors of pulmonary infection in individuals diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The primary goal is to develop a predictive model that can anticipate the likelihood of pulmonary infection during hospitalization among CKD patients.

INTRODUCTION:  Chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKDaP) is a prevalent and challenging symptom in individuals suffering from advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). Its underlying mechanism remains inadequately understood, leading to a limited array of unsatisfactory therapeutic interventions. Despite various attempts, identifying the most effective treatment remains inconclusive. Nevertheless, there is a growing interest in employing ultraviolet phototherapy, particularly for non-responsive patients, although its efficacy is not definitively established...

BACKGROUND: Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) - is a rare syndrome with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern caused by a mutation in the tumor suppressor gene (MEN1). Parathyroid involvement is the most common MEN1 manifestation resulting in primary hyperparathyroidism (mPHPT). Data on the prevalence and structure of bone disease in mPHPT compared to sporadic one (sPHPT) are often incomplete and contradictory.

BACKGROUND: The associations of body composition components, including muscle and adipose tissue, and markers of subclinical coronary artery disease are unclear. We examined the relationship between abdominal CT-derived measures of the area and density of fat and muscle with coronary artery calcification (CAC), using data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). METHODS: A randomly selected total of 1,974 MESA participants free of coronary heart disease underwent abdominal CT scans at exams 2 or 3, with the resulting images interrogated for abdominal body composition...
