An overactive bladder, with (wet) or without urgency incontinence (dry), can significantly predict falls in older adults with a low absolute fall risk, suggests a study.
Among diabetic individuals, the incidence of hospitalization for heart failure (HHF) is low but not negligible, a new study finds. In addition, the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) could help suppress HHF.
Regular practice of yoga postures confers benefits for glucose control, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and sleep quality in patients with type 2 diabetes, a study has found.
While thyroid dysfunction does worsen survival among patients with chronic heart failure, there are other stronger predictive factors of adverse outcomes in these patients, a new study has shown.
Infection with the human respiratory syncytial virus may lead to a severe respiratory disease which, in the long-run, could impair memory and language-learning, a recent study has found.
Women with central adiposity, regardless of menopausal status, are at risk of developing breast cancer, according to a study.
Not only is high-dose vitamin D supplementation of no help in preventing falls in older adults, it may raise safety concerns at doses ≥1,000 IU/day, according to the STURDY* trial.
Older patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) appear to know less about survivorship issues, according to a study involving a population of 110 ethnically diverse HC survivors.
Bezlotoxumab is both safe and effective for the prevention of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI), results of a meta-analysis have shown. Moreover, bezlotoxumab may be a good therapeutic option for severe rather than mild CDI.
The use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), either alone or in combination with other glucose-lowering medications (GLM), does not seem to exacerbate the risk of sustaining fractures, a new study has found.
