This study is a double-blind randomized controlled trial on the effect of intradermal acupuncture insomnia after stroke. Hospitalized stroke patients with were enrolled in and randomly assigned to either real group (RA group) or sham (SA group). The RA received Shen-Men (He-7) Nei-Kuan (EH-6) for three days, SA same points. was measured using Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) Athens Scale (AIS) at baseline days treatment. To assess autonomic nervous function, subjects' blood pressure heart rate...
There are few studies in the literature on dosage of statin that equivalently reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) compared to an ezetimibe combination and whether such regimens have differences safety. We lipid-modifying efficacy safety 5 mg rosuvastatin/10 those 20 rosuvastatin.
Purpose: Advanced energy devices, including electrosurgical bipolar systems or ultrasonic shears, are widely used in various surgeries.An device allows surgeons to grasp and dissect tissues, as well simultaneously ligate cut vessels lymphatics during surgery.This study aimed evaluate the effects of advanced devices on reduction seroma formation mastectomy, axillary staging, and/or reconstruction.Methods: This prospective randomized clinical trial with a 1:1 ratio compared use an device,...
To examine the neurophysiologic status in patients with idiopathic facial nerve palsy (Bell's palsy) and Ramsay Hunt syndrome (herpes zoster oticus) within 7 days from onset of symptoms, by comparing amplitude compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) muscles electroneuronography (ENoG) transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).The conduction study using ENoG TMS was performed 42 Bell's 14 symptoms. Denervation ratio calculated as CMAP evoked or on affected side percentage amplitudes healthy...
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are medications generally prescribed for patients with high cardiovascular risk; however, they suboptimally used due to frequent adverse events (AEs). The present study aimed identify and replicate the genetic variants associated ACEI-related AEs in Korean population.A two-stage approach employing genome-wide association (GWAS)-based discovery replication through target sequencing was used. In total, 1300 individuals received ACEIs from 2001...

This study was to test the importance of patterns identification (PI) and effectiveness Hwangryunhaedogtang (Huanglianjiedutang) (HT) treatment for patients with post stroke pathological laughter (PL). Fourteen subjects were enrolled. Eight diagnosed Yang Excess (YEP) assigned into group A 6 who had no YEP B. HT administrated 3 times a day 14 days both groups. The duration PL at one time, frequency in day, scale (PLS) primary outcome measures. Barthel index (BI) secondary measure....
Background The mechanism through which high-density lipoprotein (HDL) induces cardioprotection is not completely understood. We evaluated the correlation between cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), a functional parameter of HDL, and coronary collateral circulation (CCC). additionally investigated whether A1BP (apoA1-binding protein) concentration correlates with CEC CCC. Methods Results In this case-control study, clinical angiographic data were collected from 226 patients (mean age, 58...
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is currently a worldwide health issue. Understanding the characteristics of patients important for proper diagnosis and treatment. This study aimed to analyze phenotypic genetic features, including threshold cholesterol levels, Korean with FH.A total 296 enrolled in FH registry were included, according following criteria: low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) >190 mg/dL tendon xanthoma or family history compatible FH, LDL-C >225 mg/dL. DNA sequences...
In this retrospective study, we investigated whether lipid-lowering therapy (LLT) escalation has clinical benefits in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels of 55-99 mg/dL (1.4-2.6 mmol/L), post high-intensity. Out 6317 Korean screened 2005-2018, 1159 individuals ASCVD LDL-C after statin use equivalent to 40 mg atorvastatin were included. After 1:2 propensity score matching, 492 (164 LLT escalation, 328 controls...
Mismatches between the risk status of a patient and coronary imaging data can lead to conflicting strategies prevent cardiovascular event. We evaluated whether statin use was associated with benefit in high-risk individuals whose computed tomography angiography (CCTA) results showed normal arteries.
Objective: Cough caused by angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) limits their clinical application and cardiovascular benefits. This randomized trial investigated whether genotype-guided perindopril use could reduce drug-related cough in 20 to 79-year-old individuals with hypertension. Methods: After screening 120 patients randomization, 68 were assigned genotyping ( n = 41) control 27) groups. NELL1 p.Arg382Trp (rs8176786) intron (rs10766756) genotype information was used...
Introduction South Korea has introduced conditionality to coverage decisions for certain difficult or high-risk procedures. The transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was included in the with evidence development (CED) 2014. This study reviewed results of reassessment TAVI using real world data (RWD) and suggested its implications. Methods Healthcare providers authorized use promising technologies are required collect RWD suitability evaluation, safety monitoring, cost-effectiveness,...
