Echocardiographic assessment of aortic stiffness and cardiac function in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis [PDF]
Journal of NephropathologyIntroduction: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is strongly associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, with aortic stiffness emerging as a key predictor of adverse outcomes. Echocardiographic assessment of aortic stiffness and cardiac

Evaluation of myocardial performance index in smokers
Annals of Medical Research, 2020 Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate MPI and left ventricular (LV) functions in patients without cardiac risk factors except smoking. Smoking is associated with increased cardiovascular events. Myocardial performance index (MPI) is a noninvasive tissue doppler technique that provides information about left ventricular systolic and diastolic ...

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Despite well‐described biologic causes, the public views unhealthy lifestyle choices as the primary cause of gout. This study investigated how causal beliefs about gout influence the public's views about its management. Methods In a randomized study, 201 members of the public viewed one of two 2‐minute videos about gout.

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.
