Systolic time intervals (STI) have shown significant diagnostic and prognostic value to assess the global cardiac function. Their value has been largely established in hospital settings. Currently, STI are considered a promising tool for long-term patient follow-up with chronic cardiovascular diseases. Several technologies exist that enable beat-by-beat assessment of STI in personal health application scenarios. A comparative study is presented using the echocardiographic gold standard synchronized with impedance cardiography (ICG), phonocardiography (PCG) and photoplethysmography (PPG). The ability of these competing technologies in assessing the pre ejection period (PEP) and the left ventricle ejection time (LVET) is given a general overview with comparative results.

The association between systolic and diastolic dysfunction and autonomic nervous system function in children receiving chronic hemodialysis.
Pediatr Nephrol
January 2025
Cardiology Department, Faculty of Medicine (Girls), Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt.
Background: Changes in cardiac function and structure as well as their association with the cardiac autonomic nervous system remain incompletely characterized in children with stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) receiving hemodialysis (HD).
Methods: A prospective observational cohort study was conducted on 40 Egyptian children with CKD on regular HD compared to 40 age- and sex-matched healthy children. All participants underwent thorough clinical examination, laboratory investigations, 24-h Holter monitoring, and 2D/4D echocardiographic study (conventional and advanced modalities).
Comprehensive Echocardiographic Protocol for Pigs with Emphasis on Diastolic Function: Advantages over MRI Assessment.
Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol

Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute, University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, Miami, Florida.
Swine are increasingly utilized in cardiovascular research due to their anatomical and physiological similarities to humans, particularly for studying diastolic dysfunction. While MRI offers excellent structural imaging, echocardiography provides superior real-time assessment of diastolic parameters. To address the lack of standardized methods and reduce variability across studies, we present a comprehensive guide for performing echocardiography in Yorkshire pigs, detailing anatomical considerations, equipment requirements, and technical approaches.

World J Gastrointest Surg
January 2025
Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Nanhua Hospital Affiliated to University of South China, Hengyang 421002, Hunan Province, China.
Background: With the continuous development of laparoscopic techniques in recent years, laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (LapTME) and laparoscopic-assisted transanal total mesorectal excision (TaTME) have gradually become important surgical techniques for treating low-lying rectal cancer (LRC). However, there is still controversy over the efficacy and safety of these two surgical modalities in LRC treatment.
Aim: To compare the efficacy of LapTME TaTME in patients with LRC.
Prevalence of cardiometabolic co-morbidities in patients with persons without chronic hepatitis B: The FitLiver cohort study.
World J Hepatol
January 2025
Department of Infectious Diseases, Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre, Denmark.
Background: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects > 300 million people worldwide. The combination of CHB and cardiometabolic co-morbidities increases the risk of liver-related morbidity and mortality. However, international guidelines for CHB treatment do not provide recommendations for follow-up examinations or treatment of patients with CHB and cardiometabolic comorbidities.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Background: Hypertension in young adults is often due to secondary causes, and investigating these can be resource-intensive. This study aimed to identify clinical and biochemical markers that could suggest secondary hypertension in individuals under 40 years.
Materials And Methods: A 6-year retrospective observational cohort study included 207 young adults with hypertension who were assessed for secondary causes such as hyperthyroidism, primary aldosteronism, Cushing's syndrome, pheochromocytoma, and renovascular disease.
