Hypertension is widely treated by primary care physicians as well as by cardiologists and other specialists. Clinical progress is often monitored by blood pressure measurements and other routine evaluations, but more sophisticated approaches may be required to learn whether treatment is effectively protecting the heart, kidneys, and other susceptible areas. Outcome measures therefore involve quantification of short-term, intermediate and long-term clinical observations; and, in addition, assessment of overall effectiveness must take into account economic factors and the levels of satisfaction perceived by patients, physicians, and health plans.

Real-world short-term outcomes and treatment regimen comparisons in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with first-line immune combinations.

Department of Urology, Yamagata University School of Medicine, Iida-Nishi 2-2-2, Yamagata, 990-9585, Japan.
Background: Immune-combinations have recently become the standard first-line treatment for patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). This study evaluated the applicability of the International Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma Database Consortium (IMDC) risk model in predicting outcomes for patients treated with either immune-oncologic drug doublet (IO-IO) or immune-oncologic drug tyrosine kinase inhibitor combinations (IO-TKI). A secondary objective to compare the effectiveness of IO-IO versus IO-TKI within the IMDC risk groups over a short follow-up period.

Introduction: Surgical trauma induces a metabolic stress response, resulting in reduced insulin sensitivity and hyperglycaemia. Postoperative insulin resistance (IR) is associated with postoperative complications, and extended preoperative fasting may further aggravate the postoperative metabolic stress response. Nutritional strategies, such as carbohydrate loading (CHL), have been successfully used to attenuate postoperative IR.

Ankle fractures are common injuries and post-operative protocols continue to vary. We aim to compare postoperative complications between early weight bearing (EWB), intermediate weight bearing (IWB), and delayed weight bearing (DWB) in adult patients with isolated ankle fractures treated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF). This retrospective cohort study includes 233 adult patients with isolated (medial malleolar, lateral malleolar, posterior malleolar, bimalleolar equivalent) or complex (trimalleolar, trimalleolar equivalent, bimalleolar, and Maisonneuve) ankle fractures treated with ORIF between 2020 and 2022 at a level I trauma center.

Background And Purpose: We report short- and intermediate-term effects on headaches with intra-arterial injection of lidocaine in the middle meningeal artery in patients with severe headaches associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Methods: We treated seven patients with intra-arterial lidocaine in doses up to 50 mg in each middle meningeal artery via a microcatheter bilaterally (except in one patient). We recorded the maximum intensity of headache (graded by 11-point numeric rating scale) prior to procedure and every day for the next 10 days or discharge, whichever came first.
Professional biobanking education in Korea based on ISO 20387.

To ensure high-quality bioresources and standardize biobanks, there is an urgent need to develop and disseminate educational training programs in accordance with ISO 20387, which was developed in 2018. The standardization of biobank education programs is also required to train biobank experts. The subdivision of categories and levels of education is necessary for jobs such as operations manager (bank president), quality manager, practitioner, and administrator.
