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.

Vincristine may disrupt long-term cardiac function in childhood cancer survivors

13 Aug 2022

In childhood cancer survivors (CCS), treatment with vincristine appears to be linked with global longitudinal strain (GLS) abnormalities over the long-term, a new study has found.

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.

DPP4i-associated bullous pemphigoid shows distinct skin cytokine profile

13 Aug 2022

The cutaneous cytokine expression is different in patients with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor (DPP4i)-associated bullous pemphigoid (BP), as opposed to those with typical BP, reports a new study.

Vigorous exercise a risk factor for central serous chorioretinopathy

12 Aug 2022

Frequent, vigorous physical activity can have negative consequences, with a recent study suggesting that this level of activity increases the odds of central serous chorioretinopathy by more than fivefold.

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.
