Cilostazol in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction—The CLIP‐HFpEF trial
• Cilostazol is an oral PDE‐3 inhibitor that may have advantageous effects in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). • Cilostazol significantly improved short‐term heart failure‐related health status scores (KCCQ‐12) and NT‐proBNP levels when compared to placebo.

Monitoring and assessment for obstructive sleep apnea
This review systematically classifies Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) monitoring indicators into three categories: physical, biochemical, and electrophysiological indicators, and lists several methods for each category. Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep‐disordered breathing disease characterized by recurrent upper airway ...

New Medical Schools, Access to Physicians, and Health Outcomes: Evidence From Japan
ABSTRACT We analyse the impact of the construction of medical schools and associated university hospitals in Japan during the 1970s, which was primarily driven by ‘One Prefecture, One Medical School Policy’ (OPOMS). We find that the number of physicians increased significantly in prefectures where a medical school was built, and this effect persisted ...
