Frailty Exacerbates Disability in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background To evaluate frailty in severe progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) and to investigate the underlying mechanisms. Methods This prospective, cross‐sectional, multicenter study enrolled a late severe PMS group requiring skilled nursing (n = 53) and an age, sex, and disease duration‐matched control PMS group (n = 53).

Biomass Fuel Use and Cardiac Function in Nepali Women. [PDF]

, 2020
BackgroundExposure to household air pollution (HAP) from cooking with biomass fuel affects billions of people. We hypothesized that HAP from woodsmoke, compared to other household fuels, was associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes, of which there

Age‐Related Characteristics of SYT1‐Associated Neurodevelopmental Disorder

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives We describe the clinical manifestations and developmental abilities of individuals with SYT1‐associated neurodevelopmental disorder (Baker‐Gordon syndrome) from infancy to adulthood. We further describe the neuroradiological and electrophysiological characteristics of the condition at different ages, and explore the associations ...

Increased Plasma Homocysteine Levels Are Associated with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Hypertensive Patients with Normal Renal Function

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2023
Introduction: Renal function has an important bearing on plasma homocysteine levels. Plasma homocysteine is related to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).

The effect of sacubitril/valsartan compared to olmesartan on cardiovascular remodelling in subjects with essential hypertension: the results of a randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study [PDF]

, 2017
Aims: Progressive aortic stiffening eventually leads to left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and heart failure if left untreated. Anti-hypertensive agents have been shown to reverse this to some extent. The effects of sacubitril/valsartan (LCZ696), a dual-

EFFECT OF BODY MASS INDEX ON LEFT VENTRICULAR MASS

Journal of Al-Nahrain University Science, 2010
Background: Increased left ventricular mass (LVM) as determined by 2-dimensioned M-mode echocardiography is a predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between LVM and body mass index (BMI) categories in cross section study.

Impact of Body Mass Index on Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction

Echocardiography, 2012
Background: The prevalence of obesity is increasing in the developed and developing world. It is an independent risk factor for heart failure. Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction has been demonstrated to be a strong predictor of heart failure. In the present study we aimed to assess the impact of body weight on LV diastolic function.

Glymphatic Dysfunction Reflects Post‐Concussion Symptoms: Changes Within 1 Month and After 3 Months

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) may alter glymphatic function; however, its progression and variability remain obscure. This study examined glymphatic function following mTBI within 1 month and after 3 months post‐injury to determine whether variations in glymphatic function are associated with post‐traumatic symptom severity ...

Impact of Baseline Echocardiography on Treatment Outcome in Primary Care Patients With Newly Detected Arterial Hypertension: A Randomized Trial [PDF]

, 2017
Background: The objective of this study was to test whether baseline echocardiography in newly detected hypertension improves left ventricular mass index and blood pressure control. This is a randomized trial with primary care patients.
