Promise of Lifestyle Medicine for Heart Disease, Diabetes Mellitus, and Cerebrovascular Diseases.

The burden of noncommunicable chronic diseases has relevant and negative consequences to persons, health care systems, and economies worldwide. Chronic diseases are the leading cause of disability and mortality and are responsible for 90% of health care expenditure. The most common chronic diseases are diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiovascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease (stroke and vascular cognitive impairment).

Comparison of electrocardiograms (ECG) waveforms and centralized ECG measurements between a simple 6-lead mobile ECG device and a standard 12-lead ECG.

Background: Interval duration measurements (IDMs) were compared between standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) and 6-lead ECGs recorded with AliveCor's KardiaMobile 6L, a hand-held mobile device designed for use by patients at home.

Methods: Electrocardiograms were recorded within, on average, 15 min from 705 patients in Mayo Clinic's Windland Smith Rice Genetic Heart Rhythm Clinic. Interpretable 12-lead and 6-lead recordings were available for 685 out of 705 (97%) eligible patients.

Cardiac troponin T is elevated and increases longitudinally in ALS patients.

To test whether high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) could act as a diagnostic or prognostic biomarker in ALS, comparing hs-cTnT to neurofilament light (NfL). We performed a case-control study, including 150 ALS patients, 28 ALS mimics, and 108 healthy controls, and a follow-up study of the ALS patients, during 2014-2020 in Stockholm, Sweden. We compared concentrations of hs-cTnT in plasma and NfL in the cerebrospinal fluid between cases and controls.

Asynchronous Teledermatology Assessment of Young Adult Acne Likely Concordant With In-Person Evaluation.

Telemedicine, defined as practicing medicine at a distance, has grown in popularity over the past ten years, as advances in consumer technology have permitted its expansion. Dermatology is a field that especially lends itself to this method of care, as many common dermatological diagnoses can be made upon visual inspection. With social distancing becoming the new standard in this age of COVID-19, telemedicine emerges as a key tool in continuing patient care without interruption.
