The co-existence of peripheral and vestibular neuropathy in diabetes: a cross-sectional study.

Purpose: Diabetic neuropathy can lead to decreased peripheral sensation and motor neuron dysfunction associated with impaired postural control and risk of falling. However, the relationship between decreased peripheral sensation and impaired vestibular function in diabetes mellitus is poorly investigated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between peripheral and autonomic measurements of diabetic neuropathy and measurements of vestibular function.

Risk of Pacing-Induced Cardiomyopathy in Patients with High-Degree Atrioventricular Block-Impact of Right Ventricular Lead Position Confirmed by Computed Tomography.

Prospective studies applying fluoroscopy for assessment of right ventricular (RV) lead position have failed to show clear benefits from RV septal pacing. We investigated the impact of different RV lead positions verified by computed tomography (CT) on the risk of pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM). We retrospectively included 153 patients who underwent routine fluoroscopy-guided pacemaker implantation between March 2012 and May 2020.
