High pulse pressure is associated with an increased risk of prediabetes in hypertensive individuals: A retrospective study based on an adult Chinese population.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Emergency, Shenzhen Second People's Hospital, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China.
Objectives: The pulse pressure (PP) is an important factor influencing the outcomes of diabetes. However, the relationship between the PP and prediabetes has been rarely studied and how this association might be impacted by hypertension is not clear.
Methods: In this study, we retrospectively included 184,252 adults from 32 regions in China, spanning from 2010 to 2016.
Genetic influence on choroidal vascularity index.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Purpose: To investigate the heritability of genetic influence on macular choroidal vascularity index (CVI).
Methods: Total choroidal area (TCA), luminal area (LA), and CVI was measured using horizontal scan of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography with enhanced depth imaging in the 373 healthy twin participants. Characteristics of the participants were investigated, including age, sex, axial length, hypertension, diabetes, drinking habits, and smoking status.
Real-world application of CCTA with CT-FFR for coronary assessment pre-TAVI: the CT2TAVI study.
Int J Cardiovasc Imaging
January 2025
Cardiology, Endeavor NorthShore Cardiovascular Institute, Evanston, IL, USA.
This study aims to evaluate the implementation of concomitant CAD assessment on pre-TAVI (transcatheter aortic valve implantation) planning CTA (CT angiography) aided by CT-FFR (CT-fractional flow reserve) [The CT2TAVI protocol] and investigates the incremental value of CT-FFR to coronary CT angiography (CCTA) alone in the evaluation of patients undergoing CT2TAVI. This is a prospective observational real-world cohort study at an academic health system on consecutive patients who underwent CTA for TAVI planning from 1/2021 to 6/2022. This represented a transition period in our health system, from not formally reporting CAD on pre-TAVI planning CTA (Group A) to routinely reporting CAD on pre-TAVI CTA (Group B; CT2TAVI protocol).

Purpose: This study was aimed to assess the effect of intermittent fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring using Moyo Doppler compared with fetoscope in hospitals of Ethiopia, 2023.
Background: To facilitate more prompt identification of a hypoxic fetus, Laerdal Global Health has recently introduced the Moyo FHR monitor. Nevertheless, there exists limited knowledge regarding its efficacy derived from multicenter contextual trials conducted in resource-constrained environments, specifically in Ethiopia.
Parsing reward sensitivity reveals distinct relationships with energy intake, metabolic markers, physical activity and fitness.
Acta Neuropsychiatr
January 2025
Division of Neuropsychopharmacology, Department of Chemistry, University of Tartu, Tartu, Tartumaa, Estonia.
Rewards are rewarding owing to their hedonic or metabolic value. Individual differences in sensitivity to rewards are predictive of mental health problems but may reflect variation in metabolic types. We have assessed the association of two distinguishable aspects of reward sensitivity, openness to rewards (the striving towards multiple rewards) and insatiability by reward (the strong pursuit and fixation to a particular reward), with measures of metabolism and activity in a longitudinal study of representative birth cohort samples.
