Attended and Unattended Automated Office Blood Pressure Measurements Have Better Agreement With Ambulatory Monitoring Than Conventional Office Readings

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundAutomated office blood pressure (AOBP) measurement is superior to conventional office blood pressure (OBP) because it eliminates the “white coat effect” and shows a strong association with ambulatory blood pressure.

Measurement and management of adult blood pressure in the peri‐operative period: updated guidelines from the Association of Anaesthetists and the British and Irish Hypertension Society

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Maintaining stable blood pressure during surgery is a key responsibility of anaesthetists. Peri‐operative omission and reintroduction of antihypertensive drugs, general anaesthesia, neuraxial and regional techniques can all cause significant fluctuations in blood pressure, particularly in patients with hypertension. Since the first

In Vitro Hemocompatibility of the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart in Continuous and Pulsatile Flow

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
BiVACOR's total artificial heart generates remarkably similar hemocompatibility when operated with a pulse or during continuous flow. Under both conditions, hemolysis and von Willebrand Factor multimers were similar to a commercial reference device after 6 h in vitro evaluation.

Diabetic kidney disease, biomarkers, and finerenone

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), the leading cause of kidney failure worldwide, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). A complex pathobiology involving hemodynamic, metabolic, and immune dysregulation promotes inflammatory and fibrotic pathways that contribute to kidney disease progression and CVD in individuals ...

Association between daily steps, diabetes management and health indicators in people living with type 1 diabetes: A cross‐sectional study from the BETTER registry

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims In people with type 1 diabetes, physical activity provides important health benefits but is mainly limited by fear of hypoglycaemia. Daily step count is a simple indicator of ambulatory activity. This study examined associations between step count and health indicators.

Metformin attenuates metabolic insulin sensitivity and insulin‐stimulated carbohydrate oxidation after high‐intensity exercise training in adults at risk for metabolic syndrome

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Mixed evidence exists on whether metformin adds to or attenuates the insulin‐sensitising effects of exercise. To date, no studies have tested whether metformin differentially impacts exercise training intensity–mediated insulin sensitivity.

Spreading depolarization and its influence on epileptiform activity

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Spreading depolarization (SD) is a transient disruption of electrographic activity that slowly propagates through the gray matter by chemical contiguity, and it is characterized by a large depolarization of neurons and glial cells. SD, which is associated with massive changes in ion homeostasis, including extreme increases in [K+]o, was shown ...
