Understanding the significance of handgrip strength is essential for identifying frailty in heart failure patients. The aim of this study was to identify the association between handgrip strength and cardiorespiratory endurance while highlighting the importance of the musculoskeletal system in cardiac rehabilitation for patients with heart failure. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted at Harapan Kita Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia, from April 2022 to April 2023, among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) attributed to cardiomyopathy or coronary artery disease.

Nuclear alterations serve as a diagnostic criterion of PTC and are fully manifested in BRAF-like. This single-center retrospective study aimed to assess the different presentation of nuclear features in 40 samples of BRAFV600E- and 40 samples of RAS-mutated PTCs using both bivariate and multivariate analytic approaches.

- Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) primarily affects young adults, and this study analyzed 739 cases at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in Jakarta over a decade, focusing on patient demographics, tumor locations, and immunohistochemical (IHC) patterns.
- The most affected age group was 20-29 years, with a predominance of males; most tumors were found in nodal areas, particularly the mediastinum.
- The nodular sclerosis subtype was the most common and was significantly associated with early-stage diagnoses, indicating trends consistent with other Asian countries regarding age, gender, and disease stage.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of anticoagulant therapy on vascular and visual function in patients with NAION, a complex eye disorder.
- Both hypercoagulable and non-hypercoagulable groups received daily aspirin, with the hypercoagulable group also receiving warfarin.
- Results showed that patients in the hypercoagulation group had significant visual field improvements, suggesting that anticoagulant therapy could help slow down disease progression and improve clinical outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- * This review outlines the distinct cytological traits of multiple PTC subtypes, emphasizing the importance of recognizing them to identify more aggressive forms that are associated with worse prognoses.
- * It also discusses the potential of molecular testing to improve diagnosis and treatment, while stressing the need for better diagnostic techniques in the evaluation of thyroid cancer.
