A SAM2 and VLM-Based Automatic Radiological Reporting System for Pneumothorax Detection

Background/Objectives: Pneumothorax, caused by air accumulation in the pleural space, can lead to lung collapse and, if diagnosis is delayed, respiratory or cardiovascular deterioration. Most deep-learning studies on pneumothorax address cl...

Elevated Eosinophils as a Feature of Inflammation Associated With Hypertension in Virally Suppressed People Living With HIV

Background People living with HIV (PLWH) are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension, which persists despite effective plasma viral suppression on antiretroviral therapy. HIV infection is characterized by long‐te...

Trends in adult cardiovascular disease risk factors and their socio-economic patterning in the Scottish population 1995–2008: cross-sectional surveys

Objectives To examine secular and socio-economic changes in cardiovascular disease risk factor prevalences in the Scottish population. This could contribute to a better understanding of why the decline in coronary heart disease mortality in...

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Properties of Exosomes in Cardiac Fibrosis

Cardiac fibrosis results from both the differentiation of cardiac fibroblasts and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), leading to myocardial stiffness and reduced compliance of the ventricular wall. The conversion of cardia...

New Directions in Chronic Disease Management

A worldwide epidemic of chronic disease, and complications thereof, is underway, with no sign of abatement. Healthcare costs have increased tremendously, principally because of the need to treat chronic complications of non-communicable dis...

Enhancing communication with bereaved relatives about emergency and critical care trials (ENHANCE): a mixed-methods study

Objectives Clinical research in emergency and critical care is vital, but recruitment and consent are complex. Research may be conducted without prior consent when patients are critically ill, and interventions are time critical. Some patie...

‘One Stop’ Therapy has a Satisfying Performance on AF Patients with Interatrial Communication: Evidence from Pooled Clinical Experience

Background: Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has been reported to be a viable alternative to prevent thromboembolic events for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Interatrial communication closure, such as atrial septa...

Evaluation of Impedance and Reactance in the Intensive Treatment of Lymphoedema

Introduction: Lymphoedema is a progressive, chronic, clinical sign of an abnormal accumulation of macromolecules in the interstitial space that causes a buildup of fluids. Aim: To evaluate specific data of bioimpedance such as impedance and...

Association of Race With Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease, Coronary Heart Disease, Heart Failure, and Stroke

Background: In prior studies of cumulative risk factor exposure, self-identified race was independently associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). A recent study suggests clinical, demographic, and socioeconomic factors explain ...

Tirzepatide versus GLP-1 receptor agonists and stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation and type 2 diabetes

Abstract Patients with atrial fibrillation and type 2 diabetes remain at high risk of stroke despite anticoagulation and glucose-lowering treatment. We examined whether tirzepatide was associated with lower cerebrovascular risk than establi...
