Cardiovascular diseases are possible complications of antineoplastic treatment and may lead to premature morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. A symptom-based follow-up is ineffective, and there are growing evidences that early detection of myocardial damage in patients treated with antineoplastic drugs is the key point to prevent the occurrence of damage and improve the prognosis of these patients. Different techniques have been proposed to monitor cardiac function in oncologic patients such as cardiac imaging (echocardiography, nuclear imaging, and cardiac magnetic resonance) and biomarkers (troponin and natriuretic peptides). The European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging/American Society of Echocardiography consensus document encourages an integrated approach to early detect cardiotoxicity.

Platelet indices in preeclampsia: comparative analysis with normotensive pregnant women.
Expert Rev Hematol
January 2025
Nishtar Medical University and Hospital, Multan, Pakistan.
Background: To compare plateletcount (PC), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW)between women with preeclampsia (PE) and normotensive pregnant women, andevaluate their effectiveness as predictors of PE.
Research Design Andmethods: This cross-sectionalstudy at Nishtar Hospital, Multan, included 141 women: 74 normotensive and 67preeclamptic. Data was collected using an automated hematology analyzer andanalyzed with SPSS version 26 and ROC curves.
Background/aims: Certain sociodemographic groups are routinely underrepresented in clinical trials, limiting generalisability. Here, we describe the extent to which enriched enrolment approaches yielded a diverse trial population enriched for older age in a randomised controlled trial of a blood-based multi-cancer early detection test (NCT05611632).
Methods: Participants aged 50-77 years were recruited from eight Cancer Alliance regions in England.
Profiling Exosomal Metabolomics as a Means for Diagnosis and Researching Early-Stage Hypertensive Nephropathy.
Br J Hosp Med (Lond)

Department of Cardiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College, Nuclear Industry 416 Hospital, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.
Hypertension (HT) is a prevalent medical condition showing an increasing incidence rate in various populations over recent years. Long-term hypertension increases the risk of the occurrence of hypertensive nephropathy (HTN), which is also a health-threatening disorder. Given that very little is known about the pathogenesis of HTN, this study was designed to identify disease biomarkers, which enable early diagnosis of the disease, through the utilization of high-throughput untargeted metabolomics strategies.

J Integr Neurosci
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College, 637000 Nanchong, Sichuan, China.
Background: Volume alterations in the parietal subregion have received less attention in Alzheimer's disease (AD), and their role in predicting conversion of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to AD and cognitively normal (CN) to MCI remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to assess the volumetric variation of the parietal subregion at different cognitive stages in AD and to determine the role of parietal subregions in CN and MCI conversion.
Methods: We included 662 participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database, including 228 CN, 221 early MCI (EMCI), 112 late MCI (LMCI), and 101 AD participants.
Navigating the complexities of managing placenta accreta spectrum: A case series and literature review.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Aga-Khan University of Hospital, Nairobi, Kenya.
Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) poses a significant risk for maternal morbidity and mortality. There is a global rise in incidence of PAS in tandem with an increase in rates of cesarian section. Previous cesarian section and presence of placenta previa are two independent risk factors for development of PAS.
