What Is the Pterygomandibular Raphe? A Confluence of Fasciae Rather Than a Discrete Structure

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pterygomandibular raphe (PMR) has traditionally been described as a fibrous or tendinous band connecting the bucinator (BM) and superior pharyngeal constrictor (SPCM) muscles. However, recent evidence has questioned its existence. This study aimed to reevaluate the anatomy of the pterygomandibular region by preserving fascial continuity ...

Maximum Allowable Contrast Dose and Risk of Acute Kidney Injury After Coronary Procedures

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Recent studies have questioned whether iodinated contrast is causally related to acute kidney injury (AKI). AIM We pursed a contemporary analysis to determine the impact of contrast dose on AKI following coronary procedures in an era of lower contrast doses and less nephrotoxic agents.

Baseline Body Mass Index Category and Incident Treated Hypertension in Australian Men: A Linked Prospective Cohort Study Using PBS/MBS Data

Chronic Diseases and Translational Medicine, EarlyView.
Kaplan–Meier hypertension‐free survival by baseline body mass index category, primary adult cohort (men aged ≥ 18 years, n = 12,742). Time since baseline in years is plotted on the horizontal axis and the probability of remaining free of treated hypertension is plotted on the vertical axis. Numbers at risk are shown beneath the plot.

Obstructive sleep apnoea and anaesthesia

Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2008
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) correlates positively with obesity and age, both of which are becoming increasingly prevalent. Obstructive sleep apnoea occurs much more frequently in clinical practice than formerly diagnosed, and that this condition represents complex challenges for difficulty in mask ventilation, laryngoscopic intubation, accelerated ...

Enhancing Evidence Generation by Linking Randomized Clinical Trials to Real‐World Data: The INVESTED‐Medicare Linkage Study

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Real‐world evidence (RWE) derived from real‐world data (RWD) can complement randomized controlled trials (RCTs), yet the validity of RWD relative to RCT data remains insufficiently characterized. We obtained post hoc consent and linked individual participant data from the US‐based INVESTED trial (2016–2019) with Medicare fee‐for‐service claims (2012 ...

Predictive factors for sleep apnoea in patients on opioids for chronic pain

BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2019
Background The risk of death is elevated in patients taking opioids for chronic non-cancer pain. Respiratory depression is the main cause of death due to opioids and sleep apnoea is an important associated risk factor.Methods In chronic pain clinics, we ...

Obstructive sleep apnoea in adults

BMJ, 2009
#### Case scenario A 50 year old long distance lorry driver attends for a review of his heavy goods vehicle licence. His body mass index is 30, and he says his wife complains that he snores loudly. The history of loud snoring in this overweight man should raise concern about possible obstructive sleep apnoea. As he is a lorry driver this diagnosis is

Incident heart failure: comparing management and outcome in primary and hospital settings in Western Sweden 2008–2017

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 832-838, April 2025.
Abstract Aim Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent condition managed in both primary care (PC) and hospital care (HC)‐based settings. HF patients managed in these two settings may differ in their demography, comorbidities and outcomes, so we aimed to compare the patient management in PC and HC in the Västra Götaland Region (VGR) in Sweden.

Multivariate linear regression to predict association of non‐invasive arterial stiffness with cardiovascular events

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1141-1150, April 2025.
Abstract Background Arterial stiffness is a crucial factor in determining an increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and can also predict the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and future CVD.
