This study evaluated the accuracy of blood pressure measurement in adults using FF680 electronic blood pressure monitors with the Korotkoff-Sound method, in accordance with the ISO 81060-2:2018. The study was conducted at Shijiazhuang People's Hospital and lasted 56 days, from 26 May to 21 July 2023. Participants, drawn from an adult demographic, underwent data verification and analysis with strict adherence to the trial protocol. For the FF680 electronic blood pressure monitor using the Korotkoff-Sound method, data from 85 valid participants were analyzed. The findings revealed mean differences (SDs) of -0.66 mmHg (2.45 mmHg) for SBP and -0.28 mmHg (2.09 mmHg) for DBP. SBP and DBP had SDs of ≤6.9 and ≤6.95 mmHg, meeting the standard requirements. FF680 devices are recommended for adult blood pressure monitoring because they meet the ISO 81060-2:2018.

Objective: The optimal method for maintaining intraoperative blood pressure during microsurgical procedures remains controversial. While intravenous fluid administration is essential, overfilling can lead to complications. Vasopressor agents are used cautiously due to their vasoconstrictive effects, which could potentially lead to flap failure.

Background: A 12-month cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) demonstrated the effectiveness of an application-based education program in reducing the salt intake and systolic blood pressure (SBP) of schoolchildren's adult family members. This study aimed to assess whether the effect at 12 months persisted at 24 months.
Methods: Fifty-four schools were randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of combined levothyroxine (LT4) and triiodothyronine (LT3) therapy on quality of life in patients with primary hypothyroidism.
Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial, 151 Iranian patients diagnosed with primary hypothyroidism between 2020 and 2021 were enrolled. One group received LT4 alone (n = 80), while the other received LT4 and LT3 (n = 71) for a minimum of six months.

Background: Multiple meta-analyses (MAs) have demonstrated that six pharmacotherapies, including orlistat, liraglutide, phentermine/topiramate, naltrexone/bupropion, semaglutide, and tirzepatide, improve weight loss and weight maintenance. However, few studies have synthesized and evaluated the quality of this evidence.
Objective: To identify the relevant MAs of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that explored the association between the six pharmacotherapies and obesity-related health outcomes and adverse events (AEs).

This study aimed to investigate the interactions between the Dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) and the rs1501299 and rs6450176 SNPs in terms of cardiometabolic risk factors. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 387 adults (20-70 years old) residing in Yazd, Iran. The participants were selected from participants in the recruitment phase of the Yazd Health Study (YaHS) which is a population-based cohort of 9,962 adults.
