Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an important intervenable stage for the prevention of dementia. Hypertension is associated with impaired cognition, and when combined with MCI, it may lead to a poor prognosis. Digital computerised cognitive...

1. In those with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) and attempted resuscitation by emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, patients who received epinephrine first had an increased likelihood of 1-month survival, 1-month survival with functional outcomes, and...
MicroRNA (miRNA)-based therapies have shown great potential in myocardial repair following myocardial infarction (MI). MicroRNA-302 (miR302) has been reported to exert a protective effect on MI. However, miRNAs are easily degraded and ineffective in penetrating...
There is limited evidence regarding the evaluation of the association between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, an indicator of insulin resistance, and the incident risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Therefore, we aimed to examine the relationship between...
Snoring may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease independent of other co-morbidities. However, most prior studies have relied on subjective, self-report, snoring evaluation. This study assessed snoring prevalence objectively over multiple months using...

Endovenous therapy is the first choice management for symptomatic varicose veins in NICE guidelines, with 56-70 000 procedures performed annually in the UK. Venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a known...

by Dike Drummond, MD. When discussing the personal energy of a practicing physician, you must first discard any comparison to a battery. The Energizer Bunny stops when his batteries get to zero. But you never stop. Rather than batteries, we have an internal “energy...

While many physicians have the foresight to proactively protect themselves in the event of a medical malpractice suit, they are often less prepared to handle a possible medical board complaint. Not only can a medical board complaint negatively impact a physician’s...
Another positive aspect of medical social media is its ability to expand the lines of social and intellectual communication among physicians.
Disparities in pay based on gender are, unfortunately, a persistent problem in our country for all sectors, including healthcare. Women physicians have been up against the gender pay gap for decades, yet they continue to rally for equal pay. Cardiologist Yasmine S....
