Several studies have investigated the effect of nicorandil on contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). However, the final results of these trials are not identical. This meta-analysis evaluated the role of nicorandil administration on CIN prevention. We searched databases to find randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing nicorandil with hydration versus conventional hydration therapy on preventing CIN. Finally, 5 articles (805 patients) were included in our meta-analysis; the data showed that nicorandil was related to significant reduction in the risk of CIN (risk ratio = 0.37, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.22-0.61, P = .0001). We found not only the cystatin C level after operation was nonsignificant between 2 groups at the first 24 hours ( P = .65, 95% CI = -0.06 to 0.04) and 48 hours ( P = .19, 95% CI = -0.11 to 0.02) but also the serum creatinine level was nonsignificantly elevated, at 24 hours ( P = .46, 95% CI = -5.19 to 1.88) and 72 hours ( P = .49, 95% CI = -0.49 to 0.34). Our analysis suggested that the nicorandil treatment compared with conventional hydration can significantly reduce the risk of CIN.

Purpose: Both clinical knowledge and patient care ownership (PCO) are crucial to the provision of quality patient care and should be acquired during training. However, the association between these two concepts is under-examined. Here, we conducted a nationwide cross-sectional study to investigate the association between clinical knowledge and PCO among resident physicians in Japan.

Professor, Private Practice, Proimtech A.Ş., Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) after orthognathic surgery remains one of the most common side effects despite the use of several medications.
Purpose: The study aimed to compare the frequencies of PONV between a combination of metoclopramide with granisetron and granisetron alone.
Study Design, Setting, Sample: A randomized double-blind clinical trial was conducted in 66 consecutive patients who underwent orthognathic surgery at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Bezmialem Vakif University.
Predictive Value of Urinary KIM-1, TIMP-2 and sTREM-1 for Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury in Elderly Patients After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
Int J Gen Med
January 2025
Department of Geriatric Medicine, The Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, 410011, People's Republic of China.
Objective: We aimed to address the predictive value of urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1) for contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in elderly patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: One hundred thirty-six patients who underwent PCI were separated into the CI-AKI group (n = 36) and the non-CI-AKI group (n = 100) based on CI-AKI occurrence after operation, and their general data were collected. Blood and urine specimens were collected before operation (at the time of admission) and 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after the operation and preserved for future use.
Validation of a Fingertip Home Sleep Apnea Testing System Using Deep Learning AI and a Temporal Event Localization Analysis.
Sleep
January 2025
Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York University, New York, 10012, USA.
Study Objectives: This paper validates TipTraQ, a compact home sleep apnea testing (HSAT) system. TipTraQ comprises a fingertip-worn device, a mobile application, and a cloud-based deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) system. The device utilizes PPG (red, infrared, and green channels) and accelerometer sensors to assess sleep apnea by the AI system.

Background: Postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide. Accurate diagnosis of PPH can prevent adverse outcomes by enabling early treatment.
Objectives: What is the accuracy of methods (index tests) for diagnosing primary PPH (blood loss ≥ 500 mL in the first 24 hours after birth) and severe primary PPH (blood loss ≥ 1000 mL in the first 24 hours after birth) (target conditions) in women giving birth vaginally (participants) compared to weighed blood loss measurement or other objective measurements of blood loss (reference standards)?
