Clinical evaluation and risk assessment Evaluating the presence of systemic disease The majority of HFpEF cases are attributable to common CV risk factors and comorbidities like hypertension, DM, and obesity. Still, the possibility of non-CV systemic aetiology should be considered in situations outlined...
The uniquely high risk for rapid deterioration in patients with PAH demands a high degree of sensitivity to detect changes in functional assessments. In this review, several telehealth modalities for potential utilization in risk assessment and treatment titration in patients with PAH are explored, yet...
Poor functional capacity or a high-risk surgical procedure justify preoperative cardiac assessment by additional non-invasive testing (e.g. exercise stress testing, pharmacological stress testing such as dipyridamole-thallium myocardial perfusion imaging or dobutamine stress echocardiography). The need for ...

This study is a population-based retrospective nationwide cohort study conducted by using claim data from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment (HIRA) Service. South Korea has a single-payer national health system. Most Korean people are required to be enrolled in the National Health Insurance...
The RAVLT is a standard neuropsychological assessment for verbal memory that it MTL-dependent, a sensitive marker of memory impairment in preclinical AD, and commonly used in AD research and clinical practice for diagnosis [57,58,59,60]. Further, OSA severity has been linked to poor verbal memo...
Different cut-off levels for conjugated bilirubin have been used when defining neonatal cholestasis. Regarding the absolute level of CB, setting it as low as 17 μmol/L (1 mg/dL) is more inclusive, minimizing the risk of missing a potential case. However, this may also include infants wh...
Therefore, we designed and initiated the randomized clinical trial, “Reducing the Risk of Dementia through Deprescribing” (R2D2) to evaluate the impact of a pharmacist-based deprescribing intervention on important cognitive and safety outcomes. The primary aim for the R2D2 trial is to determine the...
Human health risk assessment based on the triangular fuzzy number suggested that the variation of risk levels in different age groups is Children > Adult Men > Adult Women. Average carcinogenic risks of As in groundwater for the three groups exceed the acceptable level, and non-carcinogenic risk...
Antibody titers were determined before and after each posttransplant TPE/CMVIg treatment, 72 h after the last planned treatment, at weekly intervals for the first month and at 2, 3, 6 and 12 months. The titration procedure (i.e. serial dilutions of the patient's plasma in normal saline)...
