NAFLD tied to CVD risk even in lean patients

06 Jun 2022 by

Individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) – despite having a lean body or healthy BMI – are at an elevated risk for peripheral vascular disease, stroke, and cardiovascular disease (CVD), a finding that surprises gastroenterologists and researchers at DDW 2022.

Lanreotide shrinks growth hormone-secreting adenoma in acromegaly patients

05 Jun 2022

Treatment with the first-generation somatostatin analogue lanreotide leads to a significant reduction in the size of somatotroph macroadenomas in patients with acromegaly, with half of them even showing rapid improvement in visual symptoms, according to a study.

Is proton treatment better than radiation therapy for anal cancer?

05 Jun 2022

Intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) leads to a reduction in bone marrow doses but not to a lower haematologic toxicity when compared to intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with anal cancer, reveals a recent study.

Elevated BP in early 40s linked to left atrial remodelling in later life

04 Jun 2022

Systolic blood pressure (BP) levels in people in their early 40s are independently related to left atrial volumes in their mid‐60s, with greater BP being relevant for left atrial remodelling later in life, according to a study.

Brain metastasis, haemorrhage common in cardiac angiosarcoma, need early treatment

04 Jun 2022

Brain metastasis usually develops in patients with cardiac angiosarcoma (CA), and their risk of intracranial haemorrhage (IH) is high, results of a study have shown. This leads to an alarming rate of terminal haemorrhage (TH) despite normal platelet counts.
