Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) are increasingly used in the aging population. Modern CIEDs perform daily measurements, mainly aimed at discovering early signs of battery depletion or electrode dysfunction. Changes in thresholds, intracardiac signals, and pacing impedances can be caused by exacerbation of existing conditions or novel clinical problems. Pacing percentages and heart rate histograms can be used to optimize pacemaker programming, but can also be a measure of altered cardiac health status. Several measurements, such as thoracic impedance and patient activity, have been added to inform practitioners about worsening heart failure. In addition, remote monitoring of daily CIED measurements may accommodate for the prevention of the deterioration of clinical conditions. In this review, we discuss the evidence base of CIED algorithms and suggest how to use standard daily measurements to monitor the cardiac and extracardiac health status of patients with CIEDs.

Automatic calculation method for stenosis ratio based on dialysis access ultrasound image segmentation.

Background: Dialysis Access (DA) stenosis impacts hemodialysis efficiency and patient health, necessitating exams for early lesion detection. Ultrasound is widely used due to its non-invasive, cost-effective nature. Assessing all patients in large hemodialysis facilities strains resources and relies on operator expertise.

Background: Postural stability is essential for functional independence in the pregnant population. The contradictions between existing studies and the lack of consistent characteristics in the strategies used by pregnant women for postural control demonstrate the need for further investigation.
Objectives: The aim was to review the available literature on postural strategies throughout pregnancy in both static and dynamic conditions and to provide an assessment of the quality of these studies in terms of methodological issues to identify the reasons for the inconsistencies in findings between research centers.
Changes in daily stress reactivity and changes in physical health across 18 years of adulthood.
Ann Behav Med
December 2024
Department of Human Development and Family Studies, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, 16803, United States.
Background: Stress plays a pivotal role in physical health. Although many studies have linked stress reactivity (daily within-person associations between stress exposure and negative affect) to physical health outcomes, we know surprisingly little about how changes in stress reactivity are related to changes in physical health.
Purpose: The current study examines how change in stress reactivity over 18 years is related to changes in functional health and chronic health conditions.
Investigating the effects of home-based rehabilitation after intensive inpatient rehabilitation on motor function, activities of daily living, and caregiver burden.
PLoS One
December 2024
Assistive Robot Center, National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology Research Institute, Obu, Aichi, Japan.
Background: Home-based rehabilitation involves professional rehabilitation care and guidance offered by physical, occupational, and speech therapists to patients in their homes to help them recuperate in a familiar living environment. The effects on the patient's motor function and activities of daily living (ADLs), and caregiver burden for community-dwelling patients are well-documented; however, little is known about the immediate benefits in patients discharged from the hospital. Therefore, we examined the effects of continuous home-based rehabilitation immediately after discharge to patients who received intensive rehabilitation during hospitalization.

Utility values of responders and nonresponders are essential inputs in cost-effectiveness studies of radiation therapy for painful bone metastases but, to our knowledge, they have not been reported separately. We sought to determine the utility values of responders and nonresponders using data from a prospective observational study on bone metastases. The original prospective observational study was conducted at 26 centers in Japan.
