Resistance exercise could improve sleep duration, efficiency
Individuals at elevated cardiovascular disease risk (overweight/obese, increased blood pressure levels) may improve the duration and efficiency of their sleep through regular resistance exercise regimens, according to a study presented at the EPI Lifestyle Scientific Sessions 2022.

ED patients who do not respond to PDE5I may benefit from topical alprostadil–PDE5i combo
For men with erectile dysfunction (ED) who show a lack of response to oral phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is), combination therapy with topical alprostadil plus PDE5Is seems favourable, producing greater improvements in sexual function without compromising safety compared with topical alprostadil alone, as shown in a study.

Allo-HSCT recipients at higher risk of metabolic diseases
Rigorous monitoring is necessary among recipients of allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) for the development of metabolic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and cardiovascular disease (CVD), suggests a recent study.

FVC decline predicts death in patients with progressive fibrosing ILD
Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) exhibit a similar course of lung injury with those having other forms of progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (ILD), reveals a study, which also shows the association of forced vital capacity (FVC) decline with short-term mortality in this population.

Subclinical hyperthyroidism not a risk factor for MACE in PCI patients
Subclinical hyperthyroidism (SHyper) does not independently correlate with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), results of a study have shown.

Depressive symptoms confer increased HFpEF hospitalization risk in absence of prevalent CHD
Depressive symptoms appear to put individuals who are free of coronary heart disease (CHD) at risk of hospitalization for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) but not HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), a study has found.

COPD, smoking aggravate complication risk after lung cancer resection
Smoking and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) worsen the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications after lung cancer resection, a recent study has found. Focusing on COPD treatment, rather than smoking cessation alone, may be a more optimal approach to improve postoperative outcomes in this population.
