Aim: To evaluate cardiac affection in type 1 diabetes in relation to Omentin.
Patients And Methods: Sixty two diabetics and 30 volunteer of the same age and sex were included as a control group. Blood sample was taken for assessment of omentin and oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1) and lipid profile. Urine sample was taken for assessment of albumin/creatinine ratio. 24 hour holter was also done. T-test, simple correlation followed by stepwise multiple regression analysis was used for analysis of data.
Results: Parameters of 24 hour holter were significantly lower in diabetics. Omentin was significantly lower, while OxLDL were significantly higher than controls. RMSSD, ST deviation and OxLDL were the parameters related to omentin by stepwise multiple regression analysis in diabetics.
Conclusion: Diabetic patients had a cardiac autonomic neuropathy. A significant reduction of omentin and elevation OxLDL imply that they influence glucose metabolism in type 1 diabetes. Omentin had a significant relation to 24 hr holter which may reflect its role in cardiac affection. Omentin and OxLDL had a role in renal affection.

(1) Background: There are little data about the differences in clinical and echocardiographic characteristics between elderly (aged ≥ 65 years) and younger patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). (2) Methods: Consecutive patients diagnosed with PE in a tertiary hospital were identified. Clinical characteristics, biomarkers and transthoracic echocardiography indices including right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain (RV-FWLS) were recorded.

T1 relaxation time quantification on parametric maps is routinely used in cardiac imaging and may serve as a non-invasive biomarker for diffuse liver disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between liver T1 values and cardiac function in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and compared patients with a biventricular circulation (BVC) to those with a Fontan circulation (FC). Magnetic resonance images from patients with CHD, obtained between June and December 2023 on a 1.

Article Synopsis
- * In a study with 679 women with prior preeclampsia and 672 controls, the prevalence of left ventricular hypertrophy was found to be significantly higher (14.0% vs. 6.4%) in those who had preeclampsia.
- * Chronic hypertension partially contributes to this increased risk, with findings showing that it explained 22% of the association, but preeclampsia independently remains a significant factor for future heart
Repairing with a warm heart: How medical practitioners cultivate affective relationships with clients.

Department of Sociology, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR. Electronic address:
Healthcare providers are often advised to manage emotions to adhere to professional feeling rules and avoid deep affection for clients, but there are situations where this would not apply. We offer an atypical case of a cleft lip and palate (CLP) treatment program where affectionate medical provider-patient relationships are encouraged. Participant observation in a CLP department, in-depth interviews with the medical team, and public online content from the official WeChat account of the department showed that a meaningful bond was formed through a contextual concordance of moral consideration and professionalism across the organization.

Article Synopsis
- A case-control study in Egypt involved 51 patients with acute opioid intoxication compared to 51 controls, focusing on the cardiovascular complications associated with substance abuse.
- Findings revealed serious cardiac issues among opioid-intoxicated patients: 39.2% experienced hypotension, 72.5% had ECG changes, with sinus bradycardia being most prevalent at 51%.
- The study highlighted that elevated cardiac enzymes correlated with longer ICU stays and increased mortality, stressing the importance of early cardiac evaluation to improve patient outcomes.
