Existing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring systems can reliably predict cognitive and motor outcomes at 2 years in term infants with neonatal encephalopathy, a new study has found.
People who need to check their blood pressure (BP) regularly to confirm if they have hypertension prefer BP monitoring done at home rather than at a clinic, kiosk, or through a 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), suggest findings from the Blood Pressure Checks for Diagnosing Hypertension (BP-CHECK) trial presented at Hypertension 2021.
Engaging in shift work can put individuals at risk of developing diabetes regardless of their lifestyle, body mass index, and prediabetes status, a study from Japan suggests.
Long-term exposure to 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) is not associated with impaired detection of significant cancer on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but appears to influence the ability of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) metrics to discriminate between lesions harbouring significant and benign cancers, reveals a study.
The intraoperative administration of dexamethasone in patients with non-immunogenic cancers may have survival benefits, according to a retrospective cohort study from the US presented at Anesthesiology 2021.
Plasma levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]2D) are unrelated to insulin resistance or cardiometabolic risk among healthy sedentary adults, a recent study has found. However, 1,25(OH)2D may be an inverse predictor of central adiposity.
Tirabrutinib induces remission and lowers oral corticosteroid exposure among patients with refractory pemphigus, a recent study has found.
A history of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy holds excess risk of problematic hot flashes, as reported in a study from Japan.
The concomitant use of nephrotoxic medication along with elevated trough levels of serum vancomycin appear to worsen the risk of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity (VIN) in paediatric patients, a recent study has found.
Vaccination with the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine does not affect the rates of fertility, miscarriage, and other birth outcomes in women vaccinated before pregnancy, according to data from four ongoing clinical trials — adding to the body of evidence on the safety of COVID-19 vaccine in these women.
