Silent brain infarcts, peripheral vascular disease predict CV events in hypertensive patients

13 Aug 2022

Silent brain infarcts (SBI) and ankle-to-brachial index (ABI) <0.9 are independently associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular (CV) events in hypertensive individuals, suggests a study.

Routine risk scores predict cirrhosis-related morbidity

13 Aug 2022

A recent study has found that accessible risk scores obtained from routine blood tests, particularly aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) and fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4), can be repurposed to predict the 10-year risk of cirrhosis morbidity in an individual in the community setting.

Inflammatory bowel disease implicated in all-cause dementia risk

13 Aug 2022

Patients with both types of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at risk of all-cause dementia risk, particularly frontotemporal dementia in Crohn’s disease patients, but this association may be attributed to frequent healthcare system contacts by patients with IBD detection bias, according to a study.

Variations in ambulant glucose tied to severe hypoglycaemia, unawareness of episode in T1D

12 Aug 2022

In patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), the coefficient of variation (CV) of ambulant glucose levels appears to be correlated with severe hypoglycaemia episodes and unawareness of hypoglycaemia, a recent Japan study has found.
