Article Abstract
Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) poses a significant clinical challenge, especially in older patients with HT. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing HFpEF occurrence in elderly patients with HT.
Methods: Elderly patients with HT were categorized into two groups: no HFpEF group and HFpEF group based on HFpEF diagnosis. Demographic, clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic data was conducted. Logistic regression analysis and joint prediction modeling were used to identify predictive factors for HFpEF.
Results: Several factors were associated with HFpEF, including age, body mass index, duration of HT, atrial fibrillation (AF), chronic kidney disease (CKD), stroke, systolic blood pressure (SBP), serum creatinine (SCr), N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), heart rate, serum sodium, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), triglyceride, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), E/e' ratio, left atrial diameter, tricuspid regurgitation velocity, mitral regurgitation and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. The joint prediction model shown high accuracy, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.840.
Conclusions: This study provided insights into the incidence rate and risk factors of HFpEF in elderly patients with HT. Key determinants included age, blood pressure, biomarkers, and echocardiographic parameters.

Background: The frequency of EoE has been increasing in Northern Hemisphere cohorts, yet there is a scarcity of data in our region. Regional climatic factors, and lifestyle habits may influence the presentation of EoE, and appropriate management is crucial to prevent complications. WIth this is mind we undertook the first comprehensive multisite study of EoE in Australasian children.

Background: Malnutrition, post-stroke depression (PSD), post-stroke anxiety (PSA), and post-stroke fatigue (PSF) in stroke survivors have complex relationships and are associated with adverse stroke outcomes.
Aims: This research aims to explore the temporal and directional relationships between malnutrition, PSD, PSA, and PSF after stroke in older adults.
Methods: Patients aged 65 years and older with their first ischemic stroke from two centers were selected and assessed at baseline, 3 months and 12 months.

Objective: A key component of determining that a patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure is fit-for-purpose is to ensure that respondents understand its instructions and items. Any modification to a measure should be evaluated for relevance and understandability. The objective of the study was to assess comprehension of the adapted Urticaria Activity Score (UAS) questionnaire among adolescents aged populations with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) and the modification to UAS question 2 to include patient-friendly terminology "wheals (hives).

Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) presents a significant global health concern, affecting a substantial portion of the population, particularly among young and middle-aged adults.
Aim: This review aims to assess the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) compared to antihypertensive medications in managing OSA-related hypertension.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases, yielding studies published from 2000 to March 2024 that investigated CPAP, antihypertensives, or their combination therapy in OSA patients.

Sapienza Universitiy, Rome, Italy.
Introduction: The plantar plate, also called the plantar ligament, is a fibrocartilaginous structure found in the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) and interphalangeal (IP) joints. Our study aimed to evaluate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed with the patient in the standard position or with joint hyperextension (the "stress test", ST) in the study of plantar plate (PP) disease that involves metatarsophalangeal joints.
Materials And Methods: All patients underwent forefoot MRI (Atroscan C, Esaote, Genoa, Italy), operating at 0.
