Background: The use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for severe aortic stenosis is expanding to patients across the entire spectrum of surgical risk. We aimed to perform a meta-analysis comparing TAVI and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in trials enrolling lower risk patients.
Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing safety and efficacy outcomes between TAVI and SAVR among lower risk patients (mean/median STS score <4).
Objective: We assess diabetes risk in adulthood among adolescents with isolated glucosuria.
Research Design And Methods: Included were adolescents (16-19 years) examined before military service between 1993 and 2015. Data were linked with the Israeli National Diabetes Registry.
Background: Amiodarone is a widely used antiarrhythmic agent with significant toxicities and drug interactions more likely to affect older adults. Nevertheless, data regarding amiodarone safety in this population are limited.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of FDA [Food and Drug Administration] Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) data from 2003 to 2024.
Background: Underdiagnosis of relevant risk factors has contributed to the increasing stroke incidence in young adults. Blood pressure cut-off values for adolescents are neither sex specific nor based on cardiovascular outcomes.
Methods: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study included all Israeli adolescents 16-19 years of age who were medically evaluated before compulsory military service from 1985 to 2013, including routine blood pressure measurements.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of adolescent body mass index (BMI) on the development of early chronic kidney disease (CKD) in young adulthood.
- Data was collected from a large cohort of Israeli adolescents evaluated for military service and linked to a CKD registry, excluding those with existing kidney issues or missing data.
- Findings show that higher BMI in adolescence correlates with an increased risk of early CKD, particularly in males, suggesting obesity may be a significant risk factor for kidney health later in life.
