Aims: Heart failure (HF) is classified into three types according to left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). The effect of blood pressure (BP) on the pathogenesis of each type is assumed to be different. However, the association between the prognosis of each type of HF and abnormal BP variations assessed by ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), such as nocturnal hypertension and the riser pattern, remains unclear.
Methods And Results: We studied 325 consecutive patients with decompensated HF who were acutely admitted to our hospital and underwent ABPM at discharge. During a mean follow-up of 30.0 months, 52 cardiovascular and 112 all-cause deaths occurred. The Cox proportional hazards model showed that the mean values of 24 h, awake, and sleep-time systolic BP (SBP), and abnormal 24 h ABPM patterns, such as nocturnal hypertension and non-dipper pattern, were not associated with either all-cause or cardiovascular mortality in patients with HF with reduced EF (HFrEF), HF with mid-range EF (HFmrEF), or HF with preserved EF (HFpEF), except for sleep-time SBP in HFrEF. However, the riser pattern was a significant and independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular deaths in patients with HFpEF (hazard ratio, 2.01; 95% confidence interval, 1.12-3.62; 0.0200; and hazard ratio, 2.48; 95% confidence interval, 1.08-5.90; 0.0332, respectively). Sleep-time pulse rate was similarly decreased in both the riser and non-riser groups.
Conclusions: The riser pattern of SBP was associated with an increased risk of adverse outcomes among patients with HFpEF but not HFrEF or HFmrEF.

Nocturnal blood pressure (BP) dipping is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, independent of nighttime BP levels. We compared nocturnal BP dipping detected by conventional ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) with that detected by nocturnal home BP monitoring (HBPM), which can measure BP during sleep with a timer function. We analyzed data of 927 subjects in the nationwide practice-based J-HOP Nocturnal BP Study and observed that the prevalences of nocturnal BP dipping status for HBPM and ABPM respectively were: extreme dipper, 6.

Background: In the United States (US), transgender women of color experience cyclical, interlocking systems of structural and institutional oppression rooted in racism and transphobia, which fuel economic vulnerability. Together, cycles of intersecting racism, transphobia, and economic vulnerability create conditions that give rise to extreme HIV inequities among transgender women of color. Microeconomic interventions - designed to improve financial standing by increasing income generation and access to financial resources through entrepreneurship, cash transfers, and training - have the potential to address structural factors underlying HIV inequities.

The industry of off-highway vehicles is one of the fields of major application of nodular cast irons, which guarantee the manufacture of complex geometries and ensure good mechanical properties. The present investigation deals with the fatigue design of off-highway axles made of EN-GJS-500-7. Typically, off-highway axles are weakened by stress risers which must be assessed against fatigue.

Objectives: This study aims to summarize the existing research literature examining Medicare-skilled home health (HH) utilization and clinical outcomes for persons with dementia (PwD). We sought to answer the following questions: (1) How is dementia defined and classified in the HH literature? (2) What associations have been observed between dementia status and patterns of HH utilization? (3) What associations have been observed between dementia status and HH outcomes?
Methods: Using Arksey and O'Malley's framework for scoping reviews, we searched PubMed, Google Scholar, and select relevant journals for quantitative studies conducted in the United States between 2000 and 2023 examining Medicare HH use and outcomes for PwD. We describe and compare approaches to classify dementia, identify findings related to HH utilization and outcomes supported by the preponderance of evidence, and comment on existing gaps and areas of ambiguity in the literature.
