Article Synopsis
- Sleep plays a crucial role in heart health, especially after a heart attack (myocardial infarction), by influencing inflammatory responses and healing processes.
- After a heart attack, certain immune cells (monocytes) are recruited to the brain to promote sleep, which helps reduce harmful stress on the heart and supports recovery.
- Disruption of sleep can worsen heart function and increase the risk of further cardiovascular issues, as poor sleep can reprogram immune cells in a way that enhances inflammation and hinders the healing process.
: This study aimed to evaluate the tumor response relating to and survival benefit of transarterial chemoperfusion (TACP) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in the treatment of patients with unresectable gynecologic tumors who are intolerant of or have a suboptimal response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. : Between January 2000 and October 2023, 75 patients diagnosed with gynecologic tumors underwent 213 TACP and 154 TACE procedures. Of these, 33 patients were treated with TACP, 20 were treated with TACE, and 22 received a combination of both therapies.

Material And Methods: Epidemiological findings from population-based studies were extrapolated for the situation in Germany, in order to estimate current and future prevalence of glaucoma by using official population statistics for Germany.
Results: The prevalence of glaucoma in the adult population above 40 years of age is currently 2.
Background: Retinal diseases such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), diabetic macular edema (DME), or branch/central retinal vein occlusion (B/CRVO) have significant implications for patients' social and psychological well-being. The ALBATROS study aimed to assess the care situation of patients who received anti-VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) treatment. To gain a comprehensive understanding of patients' backgrounds and attitudes, we developed an exploratory, structured questionnaire, the Basic Care and Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire (BPZ-9).

Objective: An analysis of the use of glaucoma medications and the prevalence of glaucoma in an urban adult population was carried out.
