The Impact of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among UK Women: An Obesity-Adjusted Analysis.

Introduction: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is known to elevate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, but the extent to which obesity and IIH-specific factors contribute to this risk is not well understood. WE aim to separate the effects of obesity from IIH-specific factors on the risk of stroke and CVD, building on previous findings that indicate a two-fold increase in cardiovascular events in women with IIH compared to BMI-matched controls.

Methods: An obesity-adjusted risk analysis was conducted using Indirect Standardization based on data from a cohort study by Adderley et al.

This research aims to explore the attitudes and perceptions toward cosmetic breast surgery in this demographic, considering cultural and religious influences in Saudi Arabia.

Potential of Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors in the Management of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction: A Narrative Review.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction presents a major clinical challenge due to its complex pathophysiology and limitations in its therapeutic options. This comprehensive review explores the comparative effectiveness of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, focusing on their impact on diabetic versus non-diabetic patients, individuals with chronic kidney disease, and the elderly. A comprehensive literature search identified randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and clinical studies that evaluated the role of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors in managing heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

The prevelance of food allergy in patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) is difficult for patients and healthcare professionals to manage owing to its chronic and unpredictable nature. While the exact cause of CIU is unknown, it is suggested that food allergies may contribute to the development of symptoms. To determine the prevalence of food allergy in patients diagnosed with CIU.
