Objective: To assess the impact of perceived stress levels in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) within a 6-month follow-up period postprocedure.
Methods: A cohort of 339 hospitalized patients with coronary heart disease undergoing initial PCI was prospectively enrolled in the Department of Cardiology at two branches of Zhongda Hospital Affiliated to Southeast University between January 2022 and July 2022. Baseline data including demographic and clinical characteristics, along with the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS), were collected.
Article Synopsis
- A study investigated palliative care needs and symptom burden in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) and compared younger and older patients.
- Conducted from November 2021 to June 2022 at two hospitals, data was collected on demographics, clinical characteristics, symptom severity, and quality of life using specific scales.
- Results indicated older patients had higher palliative care needs and symptom severity, with common symptoms being dry mouth, itching, and dry skin, calling for interdisciplinary teams to enhance patient care and improve quality of life.
Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, a New Predictor of Coronary Artery Calcification.
Clin Appl Thromb Hemost
February 2021
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a functional role in vascular endothelium homeostasis and the alleviation of atherosclerosis. Matrix gla protein (MGP) and Nε-(1-carboxymethyl)-l-lysine (CML) are both confirmed to be VC predictors. This study investigated the association between BDNF, MGP, CML and coronary artery calcification (CAC).
