AI Article Synopsis

  • Diabetes and hypertension significantly increase the risk of coronary heart disease and other cardiovascular diseases, with hypertension occurring 2 to 4 times more often in diabetics than non-diabetics.
  • The most common type of hypertension found in diabetics is essential hypertension, but insulin-dependent diabetics are also more prone to "renal diabetic hypertension."
  • To improve outcomes for diabetics with hypertension, early detection and effective treatment of high blood pressure, along with addressing other cardiovascular risk factors, are crucial.

Article Abstract

Diabetes and hypertension are independent risk factors of coronary heart disease as well as of other cardiovascular diseases, and their combination substantially enhances the risk. Hypertension is twice to four times as frequent in diabetics than in the non-diabetic population. The most frequent form is essential hypertension which affects the relatively most numerous group of the II diabetics but may occur also in type I diabetics. Insulin dependent diabetics suffer more frequently from "renal diabetic hypertension" and tend to develop hyporeninaemic hypoaldosteronism. Other types of hypertension found in diabetics are systolic hypertension and hypertension with orthostatic hypotension. In an effort to improve the adverse prognosis of diabetics with hypertension it is essential to pay systematic attention to early detection of high blood pressure, its differential diagnosis and treatment, and to detect, and if possible eliminate, other risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.

Poor water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) are the primary risks of exposure to enteric viral infection. Our study aimed to describe the role of WASH conditions and practices as risk factors for enteric viral infections in children under 5. Literature on the risk factors associated with all-cause diarrhea masks the taxa-specific drivers of diarrhea from specific pathogens, limiting the application of relevant control strategies.

Background: Early intervention is effective for reducing ADHD symptoms and related impairments, yet methods of identifying young children in need of services are lacking. Most early predictors of ADHD previously identified are of limited clinical utility. This study examines several theoretically relevant predictors of ADHD in infancy and toddlerhood and whether assessment at multiple time points improves prediction.

The objective of this study is to gain insight into the current research frontiers, hotspots, and development trends in the field of immunization programs for women and children, and to provide scientific guidance and reference for follow-up research. Based on all the original research papers related to the research on immunization programs for women and children in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database, bibliometric studies and visual analysis were carried out to explore the research frontiers, hotspots and development trends, and to analyze the risk factors affecting the vaccination coverage of immunization programs for women and children. Eight hundred forty-three papers obtained from 1,552 institutions in 96 countries/regions from January 1950 to August 2024, coauthored by 4,343 authors.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Biostatistics, Department of Population Health, NYU Grossman School of Medicine, New York, New York; and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, Nutley, and Maternal Resources, Hoboken, New Jersey.

Objective: To examine the prevalence and severity of postcesarean residual niche, evaluated using saline infusion sonohysterography, in an expanded cohort of women with one prior cesarean delivery and to assess the effect of uterine closure technique on the risk of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders.

Methods: This secondary analysis includes 70 patients who underwent saline infusion sonohysterography after one prior cesarean delivery. Patients were grouped according to hysterotomy closure technique: two-layer endometrium-free closure (technique A), and two- or one-layer routine closures (technique B).
