Mashup Score: 109
Abstract. Fluid overload has been associated with morbidity and mortality in various clinical scenarios including heart failure and critical illness. It exerts pathologic sequelae in almost all the organ systems. Proper management of patients with fluid overload requires knowledge of the underlying pathophysiology, objective evaluation of volume status, selection of appropriate therapeutic options, and maintenance and modulation of tissue perfusion. There are several methods to appraise volume status but none without limitations. In this review, we discuss the diagnostic utility, prognostic significance, and shortcomings of various bedside tools in the detection of fluid overload and evaluation of hemodynamic status. These include clinical examination, biomarkers, blood volume assessment, bioimpedance analysis, point-of-care ultrasound, and remote pulmonary pressure monitoring. In our opinion, clinicians must adopt a multiparametric approach offsetting the limitations of individual met

Mashup Score: 2
Background: It remains unclear if a low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) diet is a possible treatment strategy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and the effect on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has not been investigated. Objective: To investigate the effect of a calorie-unrestricted LCHF diet, with no intention of weight loss, on T2DM and NAFLD compared with a high-carbohydrate, low-fat (HCLF) diet. Design: 6-month randomized controlled trial with a 3-month follow-up. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03068078) Setting: Odense University Hospital in Denmark from November 2016 until June 2020. Participants: 165 participants with T2DM. Intervention: Two calorie-unrestricted diets: LCHF diet with 50 to 60 energy percent (E%) fat, less than 20E% carbohydrates, and 25E% to 30E% proteins and HCLF diet with 50E% to 60E% carbohydrates, 20E% to 30E% fats, and 20E% to 25E% proteins. Measurements: Glycemic control, serum lipid levels, metabolic markers, and liver biopsies to assess NAFLD. Results

Mashup Score: 5Lipid Association of India 2023 update on cardiovascular risk assessment and lipid management in Indian patients: Consensus statement IV - 3 month(s) ago
The epidemiology of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in India differs considerably from the same in Western countries. It is well recognized that Indians develop ASCVD about a decade earlier than the Western populations,1 despite having lower levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). It has been reported that more than 50% of coronary artery disease (CAD)-associated deaths in India occur before the age of 50 years and 25% of myocardial infarctions (MIs) occur before the age of 40 years.
