Aim: To study subclinical signs of cerebrovascular pathology as prognostic factors of development of acute disorders of cerebral circulation (ADCC) in essential hypertension (EH).
Material And Methods: A prospective (10-13 years) cohort trial of prognostic significance of subclinical forms of cerebral pathology in EH in relation to ADCC development covered 111 men aged 45-55 years who had undergone a unified neurological and cardiological examination in 1992-1993.
Results: Such factors as disordered circulation along major arteries of the head (a relative risk 3.1 [1.2; 10.3]), thick intima-media complex of the common carotid artery (a relative risk: 5.2 [2.1; 14.3]), the presence of asymptomatic lacunar brain infarctions (a relative risk: 6.6 [2.3; 13.5]) were revealed to be of unfavourable prognostic significance in respect to development of ADCC in EH.
Conclusion: Some subclinical risk factors may have prognostic value in relation to development of ADCC in EH.

Continuous misuse of difenoconazole (DFZ) results in farmland contamination, posing risks to crops and human health. Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to enhance plant resistance and reduce pesticide phytotoxicity and accumulation. However, whether SA effectively reduces DFZ phytotoxicity and accumulation and its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Background: HIV induced endothelial dysfunction (ED) contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women with HIV (WWH). Although psychosocial stress has been implicated in the development of CVD in HIV, its impact on ED in WWH remains unknown.
Objectives: The authors hypothesized that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and HIV interact to contribute to ED in WWH.

Background: Tissue-based genomic classifiers (GCs) have been developed to improve prostate cancer (PCa) risk assessment and treatment recommendations.
Purpose: To summarize the impact of the Decipher, Oncotype DX Genomic Prostate Score (GPS), and Prolaris GCs on risk stratification and patient-clinician decisions on treatment choice among patients with localized PCa considering first-line treatment.

Background: Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a primary contributor to death after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), with significant incidence. Therefore, early determination of the risk of DCI is an urgent need. Machine learning (ML) has received much attention in clinical practice.
