The prevalence of resistant arterial hypertension and secondary causes in a cohort of hypertensive patients: a single center experience [PDF]
The prevalence of resistant hypertension (RHT) still remains unknown. Aim of the study was to investigate in a large cohort of hypertensive patients the prevalence of RHT, and to identify in these patients the secondary forms of arterial hypertension (SH)

Dual‐Phase C‐11 PiB PET Images for Detecting Tau Pathology in Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
ABSTRACT Background Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a major cause of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage and cognitive dysfunction in the elderly, and frequently coexists with Alzheimer's disease and tau pathology. Dual‐phase 11C‐PiB PET detects amyloid deposition and cerebral perfusion changes and may have diagnostic value for identifying tau in CAA ...

Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma (PPGL): A Misdiagnosed Cause of Hypertension during Pregnancy
Hypertension (HT) during pregnancy is not an infrequent obstetric problem, reaching a prevalence of 5-10%. This condition is highly associated with both maternal and fetal complications if not precisely diagnosed and managed.

Magnetic Resonance Elastography and Portal Hypertension: Influence of the Portal Venous Flow on the Liver Stiffness [PDF]
The invasive measurement of the hepatic venous pressure gradient is still considered as the reference method to assess the severity of portal hypertension. Even though previous studies have shown that the liver stiffness measured by elastography could predict portal hypertension in patients with chronic liver disease, the mechanisms behind remain today

HyperTensioN and Total-order Forward Decomposition optimizations [PDF]
Hierarchical Task Networks (HTN) planners generate plans using a decomposition process with extra domain knowledge to guide search towards a planning task. While domain experts develop HTN descriptions, they may repeatedly describe the same preconditions, or methods that are rarely used or possible to be decomposed. By leveraging a three-stage compiler

There is a close association of obesity with hypertension through mechanisms not now understood. Hypertension occurs frequently in industrialized societies where weight gain with advancing years is a common feature and is rare in primitive societies where weight and age are negatively correlated. Hemodynamically, obesity is characterized by an expanded

Development of a Disease Model for Predicting Postoperative Delirium Using Combined Blood Biomarkers
ABSTRACT Objective Postoperative delirium, a common neurocognitive complication after surgery and anesthesia, requires early detection for potential intervention. Herein, we constructed a multidimensional postoperative delirium risk‐prediction model incorporating multiple demographic parameters and blood biomarkers to enhance prediction accuracy ...

PPARδ: A Potential Therapeutic Target for the Treatment of Metabolic Hypertension
High blood pressure and its associated cardiovascular diseases have been major risks for public health. Multiple metabolic risk factors can cause the vascular dysfunction and vascular lesion, and the hypertension due to metabolic disturbances was defined

Learning to Identify Patients at Risk of Uncontrolled Hypertension Using Electronic Health Records Data [PDF]
Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, cardiovascular disease, and end-stage renal disease, and its prevalence is expected to rise dramatically. Effective hypertension management is thus critical. A particular priority is decreasing the incidence of uncontrolled hypertension.

Influence of some cardiovascular risk factors on the rela-tionship between age and blood pressure [PDF]
Blood Pressure (BP) is a biological signal related to the cardiovascular system that inevitably is affected by ageing. Moreover, it is also influenced by the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. To evaluate how the relationship be-tween BP and age changes with the presence of risk factors in hypertensive and normotensive subjects, we analyzed 880 ...
