White Matter Lesions and Cognitive Impairment as Silent Cerebral Disease in Hypertension by Cristina Sierra, Antonio Coca

“…Correlations between cerebral white matter lesions and elevated blood pressure provide indirect evidence that structural and functional changes in the brain over time may lead to lowered cognitive functioning when blood pressure control is poor or lacking.Some authors have suggested that the presence of white matter lesions in hypertensive patients could be considered an early marker of brain damage.…”

Diagnosis and Management of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension by Jeanne Houtchens, Douglas Martin, James R. Klinger

“…Once the disease is suspected, echocardiography is used to estimate the pulmonary arterial (PA) pressure and to exclude secondary causes of elevated PA pressures such as left heart disease. Right heart catheterization with vasodilator challenge is critical to the proper assessment of pulmonary hemodynamics and to determine whether patients are likely to benefit from vasodilator therapy. …”

Baseline atherogenic index of plasma and its trajectory predict onset of type 2 diabetes in a health screened adult population: a large longitudinal study by Yongbing Sun, Xinbei Lin, Zhi Zou, Caiwen Zhao, Ao Liu, Jing Zhou, Zhonglin Li, Xiaoling Wu, Shewei Dou, Jiadong Zhu, Tao Li, Xue Lv, Yong Wang, Yongli Li

“…The LCTM identified three trajectory patterns for AIP: with the low-stable group as the reference, the medium-stable and high-stable groups had HRs of 1.72 (95% CI: 1.50, 1.96) and 2.50 (95% CI: 2.06, 3.03), respectively, indicating a significantly elevated risk of T2DM (P < 0.05). Conclusion Elevated baseline AIP levels, medium stable trajectories and high stable trajectories are associated with an increased risk of T2DM in health screened adults.…”
