The application of unattended blood pressure measurement (uAOBPM) for resting heart rate (RHR) assessment is unknown. To assess the agreement between RHR measured during uAOBPM and other methods, the authors conducted a comparability study with office blood pressure measurement (OBPM), ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), and electrocardiogram (ECG) in a group of 110 participants referred for ABPM. RHR measured with uAOBPM (70.

(1) There is a difference in the course of lung cancer between women and men. Therefore, there is a need to evaluate various factors in the patient population treated in daily practice. The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical, sociodemographic and psychological aspects of female lung cancer.

As the data concerning element concentrations in human milk (HM) samples and their intake by infants are lacking in Poland, the present study aimed to explore this issue. The material consisted of HM samples obtained from 30 exclusively breastfeeding mothers during 4-6 weeks postpartum. Additionally, to identify the factors that may potentially affect HM composition, information regarding maternal data (anthropometry, body composition, and diet) was also collected.

Article Synopsis
  • Critical care echocardiography (CCE) is vital for intensive care but lacks formal training programs in many European countries, leading to a survey aimed at identifying implementation barriers.
  • The survey gathered 644 responses, predominantly from young anaesthesia and intensive care physicians, highlighting issues like insufficient skills, lack of formal qualifications, and absence of mentorship as key obstacles.
  • While younger physicians see CCE as essential, major challenges remain, particularly related to training and finding dedicated time for teaching.

Introduction: The predictive value of heart rate (HR) assessed using an automated office blood pressure measurement (AOBPM) remains unknown.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the impact of AOBPM HR on the risk of cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients with and without prior cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Patients And Methods: Data of 9361 participants of the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (median follow‑up, 3.

Background: The guidelines recommend intensive blood pressure control. Randomized trials have focused on the relevance of the systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering, leaving the safety of the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) reduction unresolved. There are data available which show that low DBP should not stop clinicians from achieving SBP targets; however, registries and analyses of randomized trials present conflicting results.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how maternal dietary intake affects calcium and phosphorus concentrations in human milk (HM) and assessed nutrient intake in breastfed infants.
  • The results showed that while calcium concentration in HM was not significantly influenced by maternal diet, phosphorus concentration had positive correlations with several dietary factors.
  • Additionally, the study found a high risk of calcium deficiency in infants, suggesting that adequate maternal intake is crucial for infant nutrition.

Adequate control of blood pressure (BP) is essential to prevent complications in pregnant women with a history of eclampsia or pre-eclampsia. However, the importance of office (OBPM), home (HBPM), and ambulatory (ABPM) BP measurements for proper control and prognosis in high-risk pregnancy is unknown. The present study aimed to compare BP values obtained during these three different BP measurements in women with a history of eclampsia or pre-eclampsia.

Background And Aims: There is no prior research on the usefulness that popular nutrition-related mobile applications would have in assessing fatty acids intake. In this study, we examine these applications through their utilization in the assessment of consumption of saturated (SFAs) and polyunsaturated (PUFAs) fatty acids against the Polish reference method (RM, Dieta 6.0).

Introduction: Recently published case reports suggest the benefit of empagliflozin use in subjects with glycogen storage disease Ib (GSD Ib).

Methods: We present the clinical and laboratory data of 2 adult brothers with GSD Ib treated with empagliflozin for 12 months.

Results: There was no severe infection during administration of empagliflozin.

Purpose: This paper aims to report collective information on safety and efficacy of empagliflozin drug repurposing in individuals with glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD Ib).

Methods: This is an international retrospective questionnaire study on the safety and efficacy of empagliflozin use for management of neutropenia/neutrophil dysfunction in patients with GSD Ib, conducted among the respective health care providers from 24 countries across the globe.

Results: Clinical data from 112 individuals with GSD Ib were evaluated, representing a total of 94 treatment years.

Nutrition-related mobile applications (apps) are commonly used to provide information about the user's dietary intake, however, limited research has been carried out to assess to what extent their results agree with those from the reference method (RM). The main aim of this study was to evaluate the agreement of popular nutrition-related apps with the Polish RM (Dieta 6.0).

A primary role of Human Milk Banks (HMBs) is to provide human milk (HM) for preterm infants and to support the mothers of these infants as they establish their own milk supply. A better understanding of the variation in the energy and macronutrients contents of donor human milk (DHM) potentiates targeted nutrition for preterm babies. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the variability of energy and macronutrients content in DHM and to investigate the impact of maternal factors and feeding practices on the nutritional value of DHM.

The association between elevated resting heart rate (RHR) as a cardiovascular risk factor and lowering of systolic blood pressure (SBP) to currently recommended values remain unknown. Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT) data obtained from the NHLBI were used to describe the relationship between RHR and SBP reduction to <120 mmHg compared to SBP reduction to <140 mmHg. The composite clinical endpoint (CE) was defined as myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, decompensation of heart failure, stroke, or cardiovascular death.

Objectives: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a higher risk of myocardial involvement, which can result in ventricular dysfunction. The aim of our study was to estimate potential relationship between exercise capacity assessed by six minute walk test (6MWT) and echocardiographic parameters of left and right ventricular function in SLE patients.

Methods: We prospectively studied 66 SLE patients (57 F, age 44 (20-75) years) and 27 age matched healthy subjects.
