Cardiac output and cerebral perfusion are reduced in patients with advanced stages of heart failure. Our aim was to determine whether cerebral blood flow velocity measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography was reduced in outpatients with mild heart failure in comparison to controls and, if so, whether this reduction was related to cognitive performance and abnormalities of the brain diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging.

Inferior vena cava diameter in patients with chronic heart failure and chronic kidney disease: a retrospective study.
Eur J Med Res
January 2025
Medical Big Data Research Center, Medical Innovation Research Division, Chinese PLA General Hospital, 28 Fuxing RD., Beijing, 100853, China.
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) carries the highest population attributable risk for mortality among all comorbidities in chronic heart failure (CHF). No studies about the association between inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter and all-cause mortality in patients with the comorbidity of CKD and CHF has been published.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 1327 patients with CHF and CKD were included.
Risk factors associated with the failure of local methotrexate combined with minimally invasive surgery for late cesarean scar pregnancy.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth
January 2025
Department of Gynecology, Shenyang Women's and Children's Hospital, No. 87 Renao Road, Shenyang, Liaoning Province, 110011, China.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors related to the failure of initial combined local methotrexate (MTX) treatment and minimally invasive surgery for late cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP).
Methods: This retrospective case-control study was conducted between January 2016 and December 2023, involving patients with late CSP (≥ 8 weeks) who received local MTX injection combined with either hysteroscopic or laparoscopic surgery. Cesarean scar pregnancy was classified as type I, II, or III based on the direction of growth of the gestational sac and the residual myometrial thickness as assessed by ultrasound.
Blood absolute lymphocyte count and trajectory are important in understanding severe COVID-19.
BMC Infect Dis
January 2025
Division of Pulmonary Sciences and Critical Care Medicine, University of Colorado School of Medicine, Aurora, CO, USA.
Background: Low blood absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) may predict severe COVID-19 outcomes. Knowledge gaps remain regarding the relationship of ALC trajectory with clinical outcomes and factors associated with lymphopenia.
Methods: Our post hoc analysis of the Therapeutics for Inpatients with COVID-19 platform trial utilized proportional hazards models to assess relationships between Day (D) 0 lymphopenia (ALC < 0.
Propensity score matched cohort study on magnesium supplementation and mortality in critically ill patients with HFpEF.
Sci Rep

Intensive Care Medicine, Heyou Hospital, Foshan, 528306, Guangdong, China.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) emerges as a singular subclass of heart failure, bereft of specific therapeutic options. Magnesium, an indispensable trace element, is essential to the preservation of cardiac integrity. However, the association between magnesium supplementation and mortality in HFpEF patients remains unclear.

Department of Triglyceride Science, Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka University, Suita, 565-0874, Japan.
Triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy (TGCV) is a rare cardiovascular disorder caused by defective intracellular lipolysis of triglyceride, resulting in heart failure and diffuse narrowing atherosclerosis. Recently, the registry of TGCV patients in Japan revealed that the 3-year overall survival rate was 80.1% and the 5-year overall survival rate was 71.
