Agreement between resting heart rate measured by unattended automated office and office blood pressure measurement, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, or electrocardiography.

The application of unattended blood pressure measurement (uAOBPM) for resting heart rate (RHR) assessment is unknown. To assess the agreement between RHR measured during uAOBPM and other methods, the authors conducted a comparability study with office blood pressure measurement (OBPM), ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), and electrocardiogram (ECG) in a group of 110 participants referred for ABPM. RHR measured with uAOBPM (70.

The Relation between Parameters of Physical Performance and Depression in Consecutive Hospitalized Geriatric Patients with Heart Failure.

Background: In the geriatric population, the risk of cardiometabolic diseases is strongly influenced by comorbidities. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of depression among hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF) and to assess the relation between physical performance and depression in this population.

Methods: We included consecutive hospitalized patients with HF aged >65 years.

Next-generation sequencing testing in children with epilepsy reveals novel clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic implications.

Epilepsy is one of the commonest diseases in children, characterized by extensive phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity. This study was conducted to determine the diagnostic utility and to identify novel clinical and therapeutic implications of genetic testing in pediatric patients with epilepsy. Large multigene panel and/or exome sequencing was performed in 127 unrelated Polish and Ukrainian patients with suspected monogenic epilepsy.

Towards Cancer Nanoradiopharmaceuticals-Radioisotope Nanocarrier System for Prostate Cancer Theranostics Based on Radiation-Synthesized Polymer Nanogels.

Despite the tremendous development of oncology, prostate cancer remains a debilitating malignancy. One of the most promising approaches to addressing this issue is to exploit the advancements of nanomedicine in combination with well-established nuclear medicine and radiotherapy. Following this idea, we have developed a radioisotope nanocarrier platform of electron-beam-synthesized nanogels based on poly(acrylic acid).

ANALYSIS OF FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH FRAILTY SYNDROME IN PATIENTS WITH HEART FAILURE.

Objective: Aim: Determination of factors associated with frailty syndrome (FS) in patients with heart failure (HF).

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Consecutive patients hospitalized in the department were assessed for the presence of FS using L. Fried criteria, Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) and Tilburg Frailty Indicator (TFI).
