The goal of this study is to understand how very elderly patients (VEP) after ischemic stroke are currently treated in a Stroke Unit (SU) Hub in Italy. We designed a retrospective monocentri...
Autoimmune systemic inflammatory diseases (SIDs) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease, particularly myocardial infarction (MI). However, there are limited dat...
Riociguat and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5i), approved for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), act on the same pathway via different mechanisms. Riociguat might b...
The aim of this study was to compare radial arterial catheter-derived pressure with oscillometric blood pressure in women with severe peripartum hypertension undergoing urgent treatment with...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has placed a tremendous strain on healthcare services. This study, prepared by a large international panel of stroke experts, assesses the rapidly growing...
The management and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke due to multiple large-vessel occlusion (LVO) (MLVO) are not well scrutinized. We therefore aimed to elucidate the differences in patient...
Studies have shown nonlinear relationships between systolic blood pressure (SBP) and outcomes, with increased risk observed at both low and high blood pressure levels. However, the relations...
REACH and REACH-2 investigated ramucirumab versus placebo in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Ascites is common in HCC and associated with poorer outcomes. This explora...
Denervation of renal sympathetic nerves (RDN) is an invasive endovascular procedure introduced as an antihypertensive treatment with a potential beneficial effect on insulin resistance (IR)....
The LURET phase II study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the multikinase inhibitor vandetanib in patients with previously treatedRET-rearranged advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCL...
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a group of diseases with an increase of pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance. Here, the effects of safflower injection, ...
High blood pressure (hypertension) is one of the leading risk factors of cardiovascular disease worldwide. While an array of hypertension treatments are available, almost all of them have be...
Older adults are indisputably struck hard by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The main objective of this meta-analysis is to establish the association between delirium and m...
(1) To investigate the reproducibility of total fetal lung volume (TFLV) measurements using a free 3D modeling software (3DSlicer); (2) To correlate these measurements with lung-to-head rati...
Definitive diagnosis of functioning neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) in the pancreas is challenging. Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) regulates adrenal cortisol production. Ectopic ACTH sec...
Splenectomy and splenic artery embolization are major treatment options for hypersplenism and portal hypertension in liver cirrhosis, but may lead to splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT), which ...
To synthesize the best available evidence regarding the effectiveness of nursing case management in primary health care, compared to usual care, in improving blood pressure in adults over 18...
The catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) showed promising results for patients in lowering BP, but there were also many non-responders. One of the possible reasons was the incomplete neura...
