A tool set for early detection of heart failure (HF) and its criteria for mass population survey in the polyclinic setting was developed. A two-stage screening programme was carried out. At the first stage, patients with cardiac abnormalities were detected. At the second stage, the patients underwent a complex instrumental study. Fourteen most informative signs of HF were identified. A programme was developed for analysis of their baseline values and adoption of solutions by applying a procedure for inhomogeneous sequential statistic recognition, significantly promoting the diagnosis by employing diagnostic tables.

Evoked potential metrics extracted from an EEG exam can provide novel sources of information regarding brain function. While the P300 occurring around 300 ms post-stimulus has been extensively investigated in relation to mild cognitive impairment (MCI), with decreased amplitude and increased latency, the P200 response has not, particularly in an oddball-stimulus paradigm. This study compares the auditory P200 amplitudes between MCI (28 patients aged 74(8)) and non-MCI, (35 aged 72(4)).

Department of Lymphedema Treatment Outpatient, Toyama Nishi General Hospital, Toyama, Japan.

Lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) is the first-line surgical treatment for lymphedema. The therapeutic effects of LVA, including edema reduction and cellulitis prevention, vary among patients. We examined cases of palliative LVA in patients with lymphedema who were in the terminal stage due to recurrence or distant metastasis of the primary disease, with a focus on the course and usefulness of palliative LVA.

Introduction: In chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) is linked to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Levels of PTH are influenced by serum phosphate (P) and calcium (Ca), but little is known about the impact of magnesium (Mg) on PTH. Hence, this study investigated the relationship between PTH and Mg in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and non-dialysis patients from three hospitals in China.

Background Breast carcinoma cases are rising steadily and represent a major cause of mortality and morbidity in India. In response to breast carcinoma, the immune system is activated, resulting in lymphocyte infiltration in and around the tumor nests. This interaction between the tumor and immune system is the basis for studying tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs).
