Objective: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of isoproterenol administration as an adjunct for achievement of target heart rate (HR) during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE).

Aging and sex differences in salt sensitivity of blood pressure.

Salt sensitivity of blood pressure (SSBP) is a complex physiological trait characterized by changes in blood pressure in response to dietary salt intake. Aging introduces an additional layer of complexity to the pathophysiology of SSBP, with mitochondrial dysfunction, epigenetic modifications, and alterations in gut microbiota emerging as critical factors. Despite advancements in understanding these mechanisms, the processes driving increased salt sensitivity with age and their differential impacts across sexes remain unclear.

Recognising and managing hypoglycaemia in adults with diabetes in the emergency department.

Emerg Nurse

January 2025

Faculty of Health Education and Life Sciences, Birmingham City University, Birmingham, England.

Hypoglycaemia is a common cause of presentation to the emergency department (ED) for people with diabetes mellitus. Patients experiencing a hypoglycaemic episode require prompt treatment with fast-acting glucose to prevent brain fuel deprivation and functional brain failure, therefore it is vital that ED nurses can recognise the signs and symptoms of hypoglycaemia and are aware of the factors that can compound or mask it. This article discusses the aetiology and signs and symptoms of hypoglycaemia in adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and describes the use of an algorithm for the management of hypoglycaemia in this patient population in hospital.
