Background: Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is commonly used to diagnose hypertension (HT), with a diagnostic threshold of ≥135/85 mm Hg, the same as daytime ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM). This study hypothesizes that training and adherence to HBPM guidelines will yield more accurate BP readings compared to ABPM.
Methods: The study involved 129 patients with elevated office BP but no prior HT diagnosis.
Introduction: This study analysed treatment outcomes in a patient cohort diagnosed with spondylodiscitis, who received adjunct hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) in addition to antibiotic therapy at our clinic. Important considerations included the timing of HBOT initiation on treatment success, and recurrence rates.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of all patients diagnosed with spondylodiscitis who received HBOT at the Underwater and Hyperbaric Medicine Clinic in Gulhane Training and Research Hospital, between 1 November 2016 and 25 October 2022.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined potential biomarkers related to oxidative stress in children with major depressive disorder (MDD) by analyzing serum thiol-disulfide homeostasis (TDH) and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) levels among 24 MDD patients and 19 healthy controls.
- Clinical evaluations included structured interviews and rating scales to diagnose MDD and assess its severity.
- The results indicated no significant difference in TDH and IMA levels between the two groups; however, the MDD group showed higher levels of native and total thiols, though these findings were not statistically significant, and no correlation between disease severity and biomarker levels was established.
