Bicycle ergometry was used for a study of physical working capacity in 114 women with hypertension, of them in 63 concomitant menopause was diagnosed. A noticeable decrease in physical working capacity and efficacy of functioning of the cardiovascular system during muscular work was demonstrated in patients with hypertension combined with menopause. An opportunity of restored tolerance to physical exercise in most of the patients with hypertension and in more than half of the patients with hypertension combined with menopause was shown during prolonged 6-month hypotensive therapy.

The term acute aortic syndrome (AAS) refers to a range of different entities, including dissection, intramural haematoma and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer. Patients with chronic renal disease and particularly those with dominant polycystic kidney disease are susceptible to this pathology, given the underlying renal arteriopathy and hypertension. Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosing, grading and guiding management of these patients, with computed tomography angiography (CTA) being on the frontline.

Recent empirical investigations reinforce the understanding of a profound interconnection between metabolic functions and Obstructive Sleep Apnea-hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS). This study identifies distinctive miRNA signatures in OSAHS with Metabolic Syndrome (Mets) patients from healthy subjects, that could serve as diagnostic biomarkers or describe differential molecular mechanisms with potential therapeutic implications. In this study, OSAHS with MetS patients showed significantly higher Apnea Hyponea Index(AHI), but lower oxygen desaturation index(ODI 4/h) and minimum pulse oxygen saturation(SpO).

However, to validate IFSH as a reliable imaging biomarker, further replication studies are required. The objective of this study was to investigate associations between IFSH and CSVD, and their potential repercussions, i.

Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors (PitNETs), often treated via endonasal transsphenoidal resection, present a risk for postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs), including intracranial infections such as meningitis. Identifying the risk factors associated with these infections is crucial for improving surgical outcomes and patient care. A retrospective study was conducted at a medical center from June 2020 to June 2023.

Neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) is a novel inflammatory biomarker and correlated with the progression and clinical outcomes of many diseases. This investigation aimed to clarified the association between NPAR and mortality risk among hypertension patients. The database of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey provided the patient data for hypertension.
