Non-invasive Assessment of Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG) Based on MR Flow Imaging and Computational Fluid Dynamics [PDF]
Clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) is a severe complication of chronic liver disease associated with cirrhosis, which is diagnosed by the measurement of hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). However, HVPG measurement is invasive and therefore difficult to be widely applied in clinical routines.

A radiomics approach to analyze cardiac alterations in hypertension [PDF]
Hypertension is a medical condition that is well-established as a risk factor for many major diseases. For example, it can cause alterations in the cardiac structure and function over time that can lead to heart related morbidity and mortality. However, at the subclinical stage, these changes are subtle and cannot be easily captured using conventional ...

When Pediatric Headaches Are Not Benign—Eye Findings
Headache is the most common neurologic complaint that presents to the pediatrician. While most headaches are benign in nature, patients must be carefully evaluated to rule out life- or vision-threatening causes.

Alzheimer Disease is Associated with Isotropic Ocular Enlargement [PDF]
Recent studies have documented ocular changes in dementia patients, especially Alzheimer Disease (AD). In this study, we explored the change of eye size and eye shape in dementia, including AD patients. The eyeball volume and diameters were estimated via T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance (MR) images in the OASIS-3 database which included 83 AD, 247 ...

The Potentially Modifiable Risk Factor in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: Body Weight.
Purpose of Review Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) prevalence increased in conjunction with rising obesity rates. Here, we highlight the importance of weight management in IIH and introduce glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RAs)

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension in males [PDF]
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a neurological condition characterized by increased intracranial pressure without an underlying intracranial pathology. This condition is rarely encountered in men and it predominantly affects obese women of childbearing age.

SNPs Filtered by Allele Frequency Improve the Prediction of Hypertension Subtypes [PDF]
Hypertension is the leading global cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death. Distinct hypertension subtypes may vary in their prognoses and require different treatments. An individual's risk for hypertension is determined by genetic and environmental factors as well as their interactions.
