BACKGROUND: Advances in health have highlighted the need to implement technologies as a fundamental part of the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery of patients at risk of or with health alterations. For this purpose, digital platforms have demonstrated their applicability in the identification of care needs. Nursing is a fundamental component in the care of patients with cardiovascular disorders and plays a crucial role in diagnosing human responses to these health conditions. Consequently, the validation of nursing diagnoses through ongoing research processes has become a necessity that can significantly impact both patients and health care professionals...

AIMS: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with primary versus secondary medium vessel occlusion (MeVO). METHODS: From the endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke in the China registry, we collected consecutive patients with MeVO who received EVT. The primary endpoint was a good outcome, defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0 to 2 at 90 days. RESULTS: 154 patients were enrolled in the final analysis, including 74 primary MeVO and 80 secondary MeVO...

BACKGROUND: Depression and treatment with antidepressant medication is common in patients with malignant glioma. However, the extent to which antidepressants may affect the disease is not fully understood. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate possible associations between treatment with antidepressant medication and survival in glioma patients. METHODS: We performed a registry-based cohort study including 1231 patients with malignant glioma (WHO grades 2, 3, and 4) having undergone surgery, and 6400 matched controls without glioma...

PURPOSE: To compare the clinical and hormonal characteristics of patients with familial hyperaldosteronism (FH) and sporadic primary aldosteronism (PA). METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was performed for the identification of FH patients. The SPAIN-ALDO registry cohort of patients with no suspicion of FH was chosen as the comparator group (sporadic group). RESULTS: A total of 360 FH (246 FH type I, 73 type II, 29 type III, and 12 type IV) cases and 830 sporadic PA patients were included...

REVIEW
Eunwoo Park, Zeenat Safdar
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare devastating disease characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure and increased pulmonary vascular resistance. Females have a higher incidence of PAH, which is reflected globally across registries in the United States, Europe, and Asia. However, despite female predominance, women had better outcomes compared with male patients, a finding that has been labeled the "estrogen paradox." Special considerations should be given to women with PAH regarding sexual health, contraception, family planning, and treatment before, during, and after pregnancy...

Despite the prevalence of empirical practice, evidence supporting the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in treating bipolar depression (BD) is sparse compared to that for unipolar depression. Therefore, this study aimed to conduct a retrospective observational analysis using TMS registry data to compare the efficacy of rTMS treatment for BD and unipolar depression. Data from 20 patients diagnosed with unipolar and BD were retrospectively extracted from the TMS registry to ensure age and sex matching...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Off-label pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-targeted drugs are commonly prescribed for non-operated chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH), but their effect on the long-term prognosis of CTEPH remains unknown. This study investigated the effect of off-label PAH-targeted drugs on the long-term survival of CTEPH patients. METHODS: CTEPH patients were enrolled from a prospective multicentre national registry. Except for licensed riociguat and treprostinil, other PAH-targeted drugs were off-label...

The incidence of T-cell lymphoma (TCL) has been continually increasing in Taiwan and the United States (US) in recent years. This epidemiological study using population-based registry data aimed to determine the incidence patterns of common subtypes of TCL in Taiwan from 2008-2020 and compare them with those in the US and the Asian/Pacific Islander (API) population. Subtypes included angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL); extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal or other type (ENKTL); peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS); and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL)...

Background: The Learning Ratio (LR) is a novel learning score that has shown improved utility over other learning metrics in detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) across multiple memory tasks. However, its utility on the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Word List Memory Test (CERAD WLMT), a widely used list learning measure sensitive to decline in neurodegenerative disease, is unknown. The goal of the current study was to determine the utility of LR on the CERAD WLMT in differentiating between diagnostic (MiNCD vs MaNCD) and etiologic groups (VaD vs AD) in a veteran sample...

BACKGROUND: Current cohorts of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF) patients primarily include adult-onset patients. Underlying causes of a sudden cardiac arrest vary with age, therefore underlying causes and disease course may differ for adolescent-onset versus adult-onset patients.

INTRODUCTION: Arthroplasty registries often utilize traditional Medicare (TM) claims data to report long-term total hip arthroplasty (THA) survivorship. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the large number of patients leaving TM for Medicare Advantage (MA) has compromised the fidelity of TM data. METHODS: We identified 10,962 THAs in 9,333 Medicare-eligible patients who underwent primary THA from 2000 to 2020 at a single institution. Insurance type was analyzed, and 83% of patients had TM at the time of THA...

BACKGROUND: Melioidosis is a neglected but often fatal tropical disease. The disease has broad clinical manifestations, which makes diagnosis challenging and time consuming. To improve diagnosis, we aimed to evaluate the performance of the CRISPR-Cas12a system (CRISPR-BP34) to detect Burkholderia pseudomallei DNA across clinical specimens from patients suspected to have melioidosis.

INTRODUCTION: Survival data reported by randomised controlled trials are collected in a highly selected patient population and can thus only be transferred to a limited extent to real-world patients: the patients in routine care are mostly older, present with more comorbidities and a worse general state of health. This so-called efficacy-effectiveness gap typically results in inferior survival data in routine healthcare. METHODS: Six prospective clinical tumour registries recruited a total of 11,679 patients receiving systemic therapy in haemato-oncological practices in Germany between 2006 and 2020...
