Phase angle in bioelectrical impedance analysis for assessing congestion in acute heart failure.
PLoS One
January 2025
Cardiovascular Center, Division of Cardiology, Korea University Guro Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: The phase angle (PhA) in bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) reflects the cell membrane integrity or body fluid equilibrium. We examined how the PhA aligns with previously known markers of acute heart failure (HF) and assessed its value as a screening tool.
Methods: PhA was measured in 50 patients with HF and 20 non-HF controls along with the edema index (EI), another BIA parameter suggestive of edema.
A Retrospective Analysis of the Impact of Electroconvulsive Therapy on Anxiety Symptoms in Patients With Treatment-Resistant Depression.
J ECT
January 2025
From the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA.
Background: Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is an effective treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). There are limited data on the improvement of anxiety symptoms in patients receiving ECT for TRD.
Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the extent to which anxiety symptom severity improves, relative to improvements in depressive symptoms, in TRD patients receiving an acute course of ECT.
Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes in Heart Failure Patients with Implantable Pulmonary Artery Pressure Monitors: A Single Centre Irish Experience.
J Cardiovasc Dev Dis
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, University Hospital Galway, Saolta University Healthcare Group, Newcastle Road, H91YR71 Galway, Ireland.
Hospitalisation for acute decompensated heart failure (HF) portends a poor prognosis. Fluid retention manifesting in dyspnoea and oedema are important clinical features of decompensated heart failure and drive hospital admissions. Intracardiac and pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) monitoring can help predict heart failure decompensation, as changes in these haemodynamics occur before clinical congestion manifests.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA Real-World Comparison Between Adjuvant Docetaxel with Cyclophosphamide (TC) and Anthracycline-Taxane Chemotherapy in Early HER-2 Negative Breast Cancer.
Curr Oncol
December 2024
Division of Medical Oncology, Odette Cancer Centre, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, ON M4N 3M5, Canada.
Background: Anthracycline-taxane chemotherapy is the gold standard in high-risk breast cancer (BC), despite the potential risk of congestive heart failure (CHF). A suitable alternative for anthracycline-sparing chemotherapy is through the combination of docetaxel and cyclophosphamide (TC).
Methods: Through a retrospective study of stage I-III HER2-negative BC, using administrative databases, we analyzed a total of 10,634 women treated with adjuvant chemotherapy in Ontario, Canada, between 2009 and 2017.
Effective Synthesis of Dopamine Dimer.
Med Chem
January 2025
Cancer Center, The First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University, Jinzhou, 121001, China.
Background: Dopamine (1) is a commonly used vasopressor, primarily employed to treat various types of shock, congestive heart failure, and acute renal failure. Dopamine dimer (2) is an impurity generated during the production process of dopamine raw materials or the metabolism of dopamine drugs themselves.
Methods: This article presents an effective method for synthesizing dopamine dimer through the condensation of methyl 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl acetate (4) and 3,4-dimethoxyphenylethyl amine (5), followed by reduction and demethylation.
