Mashup Score: 0A Narrative Review of Non-Pharmacological Strategies for Managing Sarcopenia in Older Adults with Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases - 1 year(s) ago
This narrative review examines the mechanisms underlying the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic diseases (MDs), along with their association with sarcopenia. Furthermore, non-pharmacological interventions to address sarcopenia in patients with these conditions are suggested. The significance of combined training in managing metabolic disease and secondary sarcopenia in type…

Mashup Score: 0Unsupervised Hierarchical Clustering of Head and Neck Cancer Patients by Pre-Treatment Plasma Metabolomics Creates Prognostic Metabolic Subtypes - 1 year(s) ago
There is growing evidence that the metabolism is deeply intertwined with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) progression and survival but little is known about circulating metabolite patterns and their clinical potential. We performed unsupervised hierarchical clustering of 209 HNSCC patients via pre-treatment plasma metabolomics to identify metabolic subtypes. We annotated the subtypes…

Mashup Score: 6Coarctation of the Aorta: Diagnosis and Management - 1 year(s) ago
Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) accounts for approximately 5–8% of all congenital heart defects. Depending on the severity of the CoA and the presence of associated cardiac lesions, the clinical presentation and age vary. Developments in diagnosis and management have improved outcomes in this patient population. Even after timely repair, it is important to regularly screen for hypertension….

Mashup Score: 0Physician Perceptions on Cancer Screening for LGBTQ+ Patients - 1 year(s) ago
The LGBTQ+ community experiences cancer disparities due to increased risk factors and lower screening rates, attributable to health literacy gaps and systemic barriers. We sought to understand the experiences, perceptions, and knowledge base of healthcare providers regarding cancer screening for LGBTQ+ patients. A 20-item IRB-approved survey was distributed to physicians through professional…

Mashup Score: 0
The list of sustainability issues that can pose risks to people, society, and healthcare organizations (HCOs) has been steadily growing over the last decade. HCOs and related industries are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, pollutants, and unsustainable practices with a substantial death and disability footprint. There is an urgent need for health care transformation that advances…

Mashup Score: 0Immuno-PET Imaging of Tumour PD-L1 Expression in Glioblastoma - 1 year(s) ago
There is no established method to assess the PD-L1 expression in brain tumours. Therefore, we investigated the suitability of affibody molecule (ZPD-L1) radiolabelled with F-18 (Al18F) and Ga-68 to measure the expression of PD-L1 in xenograft mouse models of GBM. Mice bearing subcutaneous and orthotopic tumours were imaged 1 h post-radioconjugate administration. Ex vivo biodistribution studies…

Mashup Score: 0
Amplification and/or overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer is associated with an adverse prognosis. The introduction of anti-HER2 targeted therapy has dramatically improved the clinical outcomes of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Unfortunately, a significant number of patients eventually relapse and develop distant metastasis. HER2…

Mashup Score: 1Electrocardiographic Predictors of Atrial Fibrillation - 1 year(s) ago
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common pathological arrhythmia, and its complications lead to significant morbidity and mortality. However, patients with AF can often go undetected, especially if they are asymptomatic or have a low burden of paroxysms. Identification of those at high risk of AF development may help refine screening and management strategies. Methods: PubMed and…

Mashup Score: 4Effects of Diaphragmatic Breathing on Health: A Narrative Review - 1 year(s) ago
Background: Breathing is an essential part of life. Diaphragmatic breathing (DB) is slow and deep breathing that affects the brain and the cardiovascular, respiratory, and gastrointestinal systems through the modulation of autonomic nervous functions. However, the effects of DB on human health need to be further investigated. Methods: The author conducted a PubMed search regarding the current…
