Cancer co‐medication quality in older patients with polypharmacy: A large randomized trial testing a medication review versus usual care

Journal of Internal Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) testing medication reviews in geriatric oncology is sparse. Methods We conducted a single‐blinded RCT in ten rehabilitation clinics across Germany. Patients with common cancers, aged ≥ 65 years, and polypharmacy (regularly ≥ five drugs) were randomly allocated in equal proportions to

A Multimodal Machine Learning Model for Framingham Risk Score–Based Cardiovascular Risk Stratification in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Machine learning provides a powerful tool to capture complex, nonlinear patterns in biomedical data and enhance precision risk stratification. In this study, we applied a multilayer perceptron (MLP) framework to classify Framingham Risk Score–based cardiovascular risk categories in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

Fall-related injuries in a nursing home setting: is polypharmacy a risk factor?

BMC Health Services Research, 2009
Background Polypharmacy is regarded as an important risk factor for fallingand several studies and meta-analyses have shown an increased fall risk in users of diuretics, type 1a antiarrhythmics, digoxin and psychotropic agents.

Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing Reverts Electromechanical Window Negativity to a Similar Extent as Biventricular Pacing

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
BiVP = biventricular pacing; CRT = cardiac resynchronization therapy; EMW = electromechanical window; LBBAP = left bundle branch area pacing; QAoC = Time interval from the onset of the QRS complex to the center of the aortic valve closure artifact; QT = QT interval measured by tangent method.

Zero‐Fluoroscopy Ablation Methods for Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Central illustration. Schematic comparison of conventional fluoroscopy guided ablation (left) and zero fluoroscopy ablation (right), enabled by electroanatomical mapping and intracardiac echocardiography for catheter navigation without X ray. The study selection process is summarized (133 records identified; 12 studies included, total n = 1998 ...

Comportamiento de la TSH y la T4 en una cohorte de pacientes con arritmia cardiaca tratados con amiodarona u otros antiarrítmicos Behavior of TSH and T4 in a cohort of patients with cardiac arrhythmia treated with amiodarone or other antiarrhythmics

Revista Colombiana de Cardiología, 2008
La amiodarona es uno de los antiarrítmicos de uso más extendido, pero de la misma forma es un medicamento con efectos adversos bien conocidos y a múltiples niveles; uno de los más importantes es el que se describe para el tejido tiroideo. Cerca de 80% de

Cryoballoon Versus Radiofrequency Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Trials

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone achieves modest arrhythmia freedom in persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF). Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) offers a single‐shot alternative to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) that streamlines procedural workflow.

Rising Comorbidity Burden in Inpatient Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation: Temporal Trends and In‐Hospital Outcomes

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite advancements in catheter ablation (CA) technique and expertise, success rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation have not substantially improved in recent years. Treating patients with advanced age and higher comorbidities may limit success rates while increasing complications.

Codocytosis in the Dog: 345 Cases (2020–2022)

Veterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Codocytes, or target cells, are a morphologic variation of erythrocytes characterized by increased membrane surface area relative to volume. In dogs, codocytosis is frequently noted on blood smear evaluation, but its clinical significance remains poorly understood. Objectives To characterize the clinical conditions associated with
