Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous entity including patients with different phenotypes of near normal, normal, and supernormal left ventricular (LV) function.
Objectives: To assess the value of resting LV elastance (also known as force) with transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to identify HFpEF phenotypes.
Methods: In a prospective, observational, multicenter study, 2380 HFpEF patients were recruited from July 2016 to May 2024.

Background/aims: The objectives of this real-world study were to determine 1-year persistence with vedolizumab in patients with ulcerative colitis and to evaluate factors contributing to loss of response.
Methods: In this multicenter, retrospective, observational chart review, patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis who received ≥ 1 dose of vedolizumab in clinical practice at 16 tertiary hospitals in Japan (from December 2018 through February 2020) were enrolled.
Results: Persistence with vedolizumab was 64.

Introduction: Acute respiratory failure is a leading cause of admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), with mortality rates remaining stagnant despite advances in resuscitation techniques. Comorbidities, notably chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, significantly impact ICU patient outcomes. Pulmonary emphysema, commonly associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, poses a significant risk, yet its influence on ICU mortality remains understudied.

Introduction: This retrospective, observational cohort study investigated the association between treatment of iron deficiency with conception results and pregnancy outcomes in women with infertility and iron deficiency, before and after intravenous ferric carboxymaltose infusion.
Material And Methods: Data were collected from electronic health records from the Dextra Fertility Clinic (Helsinki, Finland) between 2015 and 2020. The cohort included 292 women (<43 years) with infertility and iron deficiency (s-ferritin ≤30 μg/L), treated with a ferric carboxymaltose infusion (Ferinject®, 500 mg i.

Background: Transport by mobile stroke units (MSUs), which provide access to computed tomography scanning and intravenous blood pressure medications and thrombolytics, reduces time to treatment and may improve short-term functional outcomes for patients with acute stroke. The longer-term clinical and financial impacts remain incompletely understood. The aim of the study was to determine whether MSU care is associated with better health, utilization, and spending outcomes for patients with suspected acute stroke.
