Obesity contributes to cardiac dysfunction and has an impact on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Bariatric surgery (BS) is being considered a therapeutic option for patients with obesity and also can improve cardiac function. Very few studies considered the Chinese population. This study aimed to examine the effect of BS on cardiac function and structure in Chinese subjects with obesity. A single-center retrospective analysis of 143 patients with obesity was included. To observe and analyze the short-term, midterm, and long-term effects of BS on cardiovascular function and structure, the study population was divided into three groups according to the time of review. Fifty-two patients in group T1 (re-examination within 12 months); 53 patients in group T2 (re-examination within 12 to 24 months); and 38 patients in group T3 (re-examination over 24 months). The effects of BS on the cardiac function and structure were evaluated by analyzing the echocardiographic parameters. After BS, body mass index (BMI) decreased from 39.7 ± 8.0 to 28.4 ± 6.4 kg/m ( < 0.001). Blood pressure decreased significantly. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) decreased (43.7 ± 16.4 to 37.8 ± 13.4 g/m, < 0.001). The change in LVMI was correlated with the change in BMI ( = 0.14, < 0.001). In subgroup analyses at different follow-ups, echocardiographic parameters showed varying degrees of change compared with the baseline. Significant weight loss by BS was associated with improved left ventricular structure and function in Chinese patients with obesity, suggesting potential favorable effects of BS on the cardiac function and structure.

The impact of kidney disease on peri-operative outcomes of novel BPH surgeries across the board: a propensity score matched analysis using the ACS-NSQIP database.

Background: Pre-operative kidney disease was shown to impact peri-operative outcomes of endoscopic BPH surgeries. We aim to assess the effect of novel surgical techniques (Laser Enucleation of the Prostate (LEP) and Laser Vaporization of the Prostate (LVP)) compared to Transurethral Resection of Prostate (TURP), on post-operative outcomes stratified based on kidney function.
Methods: The ACS-NSQIP database was reviewed from 2008 to 2021 for 83,020 patients that underwent TURP, LEP, and LVP.
Initiation and sequencing of guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure across the ejection fraction spectrum.

Strong evidence supports the importance of rapid sequence or simultaneous initiation of quadruple guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) for substantially reducing risk of mortality and hospitalization. Barring absolute contraindications for each individual medication, employing the strategy of rapid sequence, simultaneous, and/or in-hospital initiation at the time of HF diagnosis best ensures patients with HFrEF have the opportunity to benefit from proven medications and achieve large absolute risk reductions for adverse clinical outcomes. However, despite guideline recommendations supporting this approach, implementation in clinical practice remains persistently low, with less than one-fifth of eligible patients being prescribed the quadruple GDMT regimen.

Regular aerobic exercise has a significant impact on glucose metabolism and lipid profiles, contributing to overall health improvement. However, evidence for optimal exercise duration to achieve these effects is limited. This study aims to explore the effects of 4 and 8 weeks of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on glucose metabolism, lipid profiles, and associated metabolic changes in young female students with insulin resistance and varying body mass, seeking to determine the optimal duration for physiological adaptations.

Targeting the cardiomyocyte cell cycle is a promising strategy for heart repair following injury. Here, we identify a cardiac-regeneration-associated PIWI-interacting RNA (CRAPIR) as a regulator of cardiomyocyte proliferation. Genetic ablation or antagomir-mediated knockdown of CRAPIR in mice impairs cardiomyocyte proliferation and reduces heart regenerative potential.

Using severe COVID-19 as an exemplar, we explore the integration of polygenic risk scores (PRS) into disease models alongside sociodemographic and clinical variables. PRS were optimized for 23 clinical variables and related traits previously-associated with severe COVID-19 in up to 450,449 UK Biobank participants, and tested in 9,560 individuals diagnosed in the pre-vaccination era.
