Effect of lixisenatide on arterial stiffness in people with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease: Results of a randomised controlled trial

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 2953-2961, April 2026.
Abstract Objective People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes are at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Aortic pulse wave velocity (Ao‐PWV) is an independent predictor of CVD. Cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) with glucagon like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1 RA) class demonstrate notable differences, with lixisenatide having ...

Synergist upper-limb resistance training reduces blood pressure in young normotensive men: a piloty study

Lifestyle Journal
Purpose: We aimed to verify the effects of 8 weeks of resistance training on the synergistic and non-synergistic routines on peripheral and central blood pressure, biochemical variables, and pulse wave behavior recreationally trained men.

Applanation Tonometry for Assessment of Left Ventricular Systolic Load [PDF]

Journal of Biomedical & Clinical Research, 2019
Vascular-ventricular coupling is a major determinant of left ventricular load. The aim of our study was to assess non- invasively left ventricular load and its dependency on central hemodynamics.

Associations Between the Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Arterial Stiffness Estimated by Pulse Wave Velocity Assessment: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a prevalent sleep disorder linked to cardiovascular diseases and is highly prevalent, especially in the elderly population. This study aimed to investigate the association between OSA severity and arterial stiffness, as measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV), in patients with moderate to ...

Corneal Biomechanics in Ectatic Diseases: Refractive Surgery Implications. [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Ectasia development occurs due to a chronic corneal biomechanical decompensation or weakness, resulting in stromal thinning and corneal protrusion. This leads to corneal steepening, increase in astigmatism, and irregularity.

Clinical outcomes of the PAUL glaucoma implant in primary open‐angle and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma eyes after failed glaucoma surgeries

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 104, Issue 2, Page e183-e190, March 2026.
Abstract Purpose This study assesses the PAUL® glaucoma implant (PGI) in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEXG) after failed glaucoma surgery. Given PEXG's more aggressive nature, limited research exists on PGI outcomes in this subgroup. This study aims to compare PGI's efficacy and safety in both conditions. Methods A

How to measure intraocular pressure: Schiötz tonometry

Community Eye Health Journal, 2008
If glaucoma is diagnosed early, treatment can then be given that may preserve vision. Although raised intraocular pressure (IOP) is not the only sign of glaucoma, the IOP should be checked routinely on all adults attending eye care facilities ...

Reproducibility and agreement of pulse wave velocity and augmentation index over repeated assessments using two different devices in adolescents

Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, Volume 46, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Objectives We investigated the agreement between pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx%) obtained in a controlled fasted condition versus a non‐fasted, uncontrolled, “real‐world” condition. Thereafter, we assessed the reproducibility of PWV and AIx% over three repeated visits under controlled fasted conditions.

Metformin Alters Exercise Training Induced Blood Pressure and Aortic Waveform Adaptations in Adults at Risk for Metabolic Syndrome

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, Volume 28, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Metformin reduces hyperglycemia and cardiovascular disease risk. However, no study has determined if metformin alters blood pressure and/or aortic waveforms in an exercise intensity dependent manner. We tested if metformin alters blood pressure and aortic waveforms before and during insulin‐stimulation following low and high intensity exercise
