Parapharyngeal Fat Pads as an Obesity‐Related Parameter for Apnea‐Hypopnea Index Severity
ABSTRACT In this study, the association between obstructive sleep apnea severity and the parapharyngeal fat pad volume is examined in a population‐based sample. We included 680 participants who underwent standardised overnight polysomnography between 2008 and 2012 as part of the Study of Health in Pomerania in a sleep laboratory in Greifswald, Germany.

ABSTRACT Background & Aim Sustained‐virological‐response (SVR) after direct‐acting‐antiviral (DAA) therapy improves outcomes in patients with HCV‐related compensated‐advanced‐chronic‐liver‐disease (cACLD). However, it remains unclear whether absolute post‐SVR LSM or LSM reduction better predicts prognosis after SVR.

Ultrasound‐Based Skeletal Muscle Assessment for Prognostication in Cirrhosis: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Sarcopenia is a major determinant of adverse outcomes in cirrhosis, yet CT‐ and MRI‐based assessments are difficult to implement in routine and longitudinal practice. Ultrasound is a feasible bedside alternative, but its prognostic role remains unclear.

Abstract Circulatory shock remains difficult to manage because fluid resuscitation and catecholamines may exacerbate vascular dysfunction and tissue hypoperfusion. This prospective physiological analysis, embedded within a multicentre phase IV study, examined whether selectively targeting the venous circulation with centhaquine improves circulatory ...

Splenic contraction associated with sudden, transient hypotension and sympathoexcitation in humans
Abstract The spleen is traditionally recognised for its roles in immunity and blood filtration, and it is known to contract and release stored erythrocytes in hypoxic conditions. Recent findings suggest that the spleen may also contribute to cardiovascular regulation.
