Dihydropyridine CCB lowers visit-to-visit BP variability

28 Feb 2022

Regular use of a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB) results in a 2-mm Hg decrease in visit-to-visit blood pressure variability (vvBPV), according to the results of a post hoc analysis of the SPRINT trial.

Apolipoprotein levels tied to HbA1c

27 Feb 2022

Higher levels of serum apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) and lower levels of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) correlate with lower glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in adults, a recent China study has found.

‘Food as medicine’ for lowering cholesterol?

27 Feb 2022 by

Substituting a portion of existing diet with a specially-formulated snack twice daily for 4 weeks leads to significant reduction in LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels compared with similar control foods matched for calorie in patients with elevated LDL-C who are unable or unwilling to take statins, according to a study.

Artificial intelligence boosts patient-controlled analgesia in older adults

27 Feb 2022

Artificial intelligence (Ai)-assisted patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) leads to better analgesia in elderly patients undergoing surgery for hip fractures, reports a recent study. In turn, Ai-PCA can lower the rates of perioperative neurocognitive impairment and inflammatory response in these patients, improving their overall satisfaction.

1-hr method detects hypertension in undiagnosed patients

27 Feb 2022

A recent study has shown the validity and reliability of 1-hr automated blood pressure (BP) measurement for the diagnosis of hypertension in undiagnosed patients. The accuracy of this method allows the detection of both white-coat and masked hypertension.
