Self-Applied Daylight Photodynamic Therapy: A Paradigm Shift?
Int J Mol Sci
January 2025
Dermatology Department, Hospital Universitario Ramon y Cajal, Carretera M-607 km 9.1, 28034 Madrid, Spain.
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) involves the topical application of a photosensitizer and its activation by visible light, leading to the generation of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) and reactive oxygen species. Daylight photodynamic therapy (dPDT), a variant utilizing natural sunlight as the energy source, enhances procedural flexibility by eliminating the need for specialized equipment. dPDT has been effectively used in dermatology to treat various cutaneous disorders, including neoplastic and infectious diseases.

J Ultrasound Med
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, The University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson, Arizona, USA.
Objectives: The prognostic characteristics of lung point-of-care ultrasound (L-POCUS) to predict respiratory decompensation in patients with emerging infections remains unstudied. Our objective was to examine whether scored lung ultrasounds predict hypoxia among a nonhypoxic, ambulatory population of patients with COVID-19.
Methods: This was a diagnostic case-control study.
Prognostic Value of Ambulatory Status at Transplant in Older Heart Transplant Recipients: Implications for Organ Allocation Policy.
J Korean Med Sci
January 2025
Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Heart Vascular Stroke Institute, Samsung Medical Center, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Shortage of organ donors in the Republic of Korea has become a major problem. To address this, it has been questioned whether heart transplant (HTx) allocation should be modified to reduce priority of older patients. We aimed to evaluate post-HTx outcomes according to recipient age and specific pre-HTx conditions using a nationwide prospective cohort.

Arch Rehabil Res Clin Transl
December 2024
Department of Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.
Objective: To test the hypothesis that step count based on a virtual 2-minute step test (2MST) predicts cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: Veteran Affairs Medical Centers participating in a randomized trial of functional exercise training delivered by videoconferencing.
The impact of brain-systemic oxygenation coupling in sleep-disordered breathing on cognitive function in elderly.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, School of Medicine, Stanford University, 401 Quarry Road, Stanford, CA, 94305, USA.
Background: Intermittent hypoxia, a consequence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), may contribute to an increased risk of cognitive decline. However, the association between SDB and cognition remains highly variable.
Methods: Fifty-two community-dwelling healthy older adults (28 women) were recruited.
