The Horoscope trial aimed to assess the efficacy of home blood pressure (BP) telemonitoring (TLM) in controlling BP reduction in hypertensive patients compared with usual care. This is a multi-center, prospective randomized, parallel-group trial comparing TLM with usual care during a period of 6 months in patients with hypertension. We included 525 patients randomly assigned in a 1-1 ratio to telemonitoring (TLM group; n = 260) or usual care (control group; n = 265).

Article Synopsis
  • The localization and prognosis evaluation of peripheral nerve injuries is difficult in acute cases, but high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) may provide a cost-effective imaging solution.
  • A systematic review and meta-analysis of 15 studies demonstrated HRUS's high diagnostic accuracy for traumatic nerve injuries, with sensitivity at 92% and specificity at 86%.
  • The findings suggest that HRUS can effectively complement existing diagnostic methods, but further research is needed to explore the ultrasound characteristics of these injuries.
