Relationship between sarcopenic obesity and cognitive function in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Previous research has linked sarcopenic obesity (SO) to cognitive function; however, the relationship between cognitive performance and SO Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate their relationship in AD patients.

Methods: One hundred and twenty mild to moderate AD patients and 56 normal controls were recruited.

Long-segment restrictive tear of radial artery under ultrasound guide for arteriovenous fistula by PTA: A case report.

Considerable calcification and stenosis frequently occur in the radial artery (RA) in diabetic nephropathy. PTA was performed successfully using a balloon to expand and restrictively tear the longitudinal axis of the RA. This approach seems to be a useful measure of promoting the maturation of AVF in diabetic nephropathy.
