Comparison of in-clinic assessment of 6MWT by conventional method and using wearable sensors for patients with ATTR-CM.
Future Cardiol
January 2025
BridgeBio Pharma, Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA.
Introduction: The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is used to assess submaximal exercise capacity in clinical trials. Conducting the 6MWT can be challenging when patients cannot visit the clinic due to physical/travel limitations. This pilot study assessed the feasibility of conducting the 6MWT using wearable sensors for patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy.

Int J Gynecol Cancer
January 2025
The NHMRC Clinical Trials Centre, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia; Macarthur Cancer Therapy Centre, Sydney, NSW, Australia; Western Sydney University, Department of Medicine, Sydney, NSW, Australia. Electronic address:
Objective: We evaluated the accuracy of oncologists' estimates of expected survival time in recurrent ovarian cancer.
Methods: Oncologists estimated expected survival time at baseline for each patient, who were then followed up for survival time. We hypothesized that oncologists' estimates of expected survival time would be independently significant predictors of survival, unbiased (approximately equal proportions [50%] living longer versus shorter than their expected survival time), or imprecise (<30% within 0.
Understanding of Clinical Trials Among Patients With Cancer and Their Relatives.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Ankara University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Medical Oncology, Ankara, Turkey.
Importance: Clinical trials are vital for advancing cancer treatments and improving patient outcomes. Understanding the factors that influence participants' decision-making is critical for enhancing trial recruitment.
Objective: To evaluate the attitudes of patients with cancer and their relatives toward clinical trial participation, identifying key barriers and motivators that affect their willingness to engage in such trials.
Experiences and overall impact reported by people living with obesity: results from a multinational study.
SAGE Open Med
January 2025
Endocrinology Diabetes, Metabolism, and Obesity Medicine, Obesity, Endocrine, and Metabolism Center (OEMC), King Fahad Medical City (KFMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Objectives: To explore the impact of obesity on clinical outcomes, health-related quality of life, emotional well-being, and work productivity in people/patients with obesity across six countries by body mass index and the presence of complications.
Methods: Adelphi Real World Obesity Disease Specific Programme™ captured data related to physicians and their consulting people/patients with obesity on a weight management program or anti-obesity medication in Brazil, Canada, China, Japan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates from April to December 2022. Physicians reported data for up to eight qualifying people/patients with obesity.
Determining the QRS axis: visual estimation is equal to calculation.
Herzschrittmacherther Elektrophysiol
January 2025
Hannover Heart Rhythm Center, Department of Cardiology & Angiology, Hannover Medical School, Carl-Neuberg Str. 1, 30625, Hannover, Germany.
Background: The QRS axis of the electrocardiogram (ECG) is often considered in clinical practice, but its determination is frequently limited to a rough estimation, such as "normal", with left or right deviation, and superior or inferior in the case of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). However, a more exact determination of the QRS axis may be warranted in certain scenarios, such as to determine the origin of PVCs more precisely, and is attainable by visual estimation using the hexaxial reference system.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine how well such an estimation of the QRS axis would correlate with the axis calculated by formulas.
