Aims: The relationship between albuminuria and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was well characterized in hypertension (HTN), but not in diabetes. Moreover, most studies have described the correlation between albuminuria and cardiovascular mortality, but not cardiovascular diseases (CVD) morbidity. This study aimed to explore the relationship between albuminuria and LVH, CVD morbidity in patients with HTN, diabetes mellitus (DM) or HTN + DM.
Methods: Conducted a data analysis based on the demographic, medical history and laboratory data of 2504 patients from the ATTEND study, a national registry study on HTN and DM in Chinese outpatients.
Results: The prevalence of LVH and CVD was 7.7% and 21.5% in HTN + DM, 7.6% and 17.6% in HTN, 3.9% and 5.2% in DM patients. Subjects with HTN + DM implied higher risk of LVH (P = 0.023), CVD (P = 0.001) and 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) (P < 0.001) than those with DM only. There was no significant relationship between albuminuria and LVH or CVD.
Conclusions: More than one-fifth of HTN and/or DM patients with microalbuminuria suffered from CVD. Comorbidity of DM and HTN significantly increases cardiovascular events than DM only. No statistical association between albuminuria and LVH or CVD was found.

Solitary Plasmacytoma: Single institution experience and systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical outcomes.
Blood Adv
January 2025
Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, United States.
In this study, we first analyzed data from 147 patients with solitary plasmacytomas treated at the Mayo Clinic between 2005 and 2022 and then expanded our investigation through a systematic review and meta-analysis of 62 studies, encompassing 3,487 patients from the years 1960 to 2022. Our findings reveal that patients with up to 10% clonal plasma cells in their bone marrow (BM), denoted as plasmacytoma +, had a significantly reduced median disease-free survival (DFS) of 15.7 months vs.

Emerging evidence indicates that delayed CAR T-cell infusion, including prolonged time from leukapheresis to infusion, known as vein-to-vein time (V2Vt), may adversely impact clinical outcomes. We conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) and meta-analysis to identify differences in V2Vt in patients with R/R LBCL treated with axi-cel, tisa-cel, or liso-cel.

Background: Previous research suggested that parent-administered pediatric tuina could improve symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), such as sleep quality and appetite.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the experiences and perceptions of parents administering pediatric tuina to school-aged children with ADHD in Hong Kong.
Methods: This qualitative study was embedded in a pilot randomized controlled trial on parent-administered pediatric tuina for improving sleep and appetite in school-aged children diagnosed with ADHD.
Designing Health Recommender Systems to Promote Health Equity: A Socioecological Perspective.
J Med Internet Res

Health recommender systems (HRS) have the capability to improve human-centered care and prevention by personalizing content, such as health interventions or health information. HRS, an emerging and developing field, can play a unique role in the digital health field as they can offer relevant recommendations, not only based on what users themselves prefer and may be receptive to, but also using data about wider spheres of influence over human behavior, including peers, families, communities, and societies. We identify and discuss how HRS could play a unique role in decreasing health inequities.

Background: Few studies have explored the relationship between macronutrient intake and sleep outcomes using daily data from mobile apps.
Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the associations between macronutrients, dietary components, and sleep parameters, considering their interdependencies.
Methods: We analyzed data from 4825 users of the Pokémon Sleep and Asken smartphone apps, each used for at least 7 days to record objective sleep parameters and dietary components, respectively.
