Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a strong predictor of adverse outcomes. Although normalizing LV mass (LVM) to height exponents reduced variability from body size, specific recommendations for are lacking due scarcity normal cohorts define appropriate exponents. The authors aimed show the diagnostic and prognostic implications establishing sex, ethnicity, imaging modality. Nonoverweight/nonobese Asian healthy volunteers (n = 416) were used establish impact these was examined in separate...
Physician–scientists and scientists in all the health professions are vital members of U.S. biomedical workforce, but their numbers at academic centers declining. Mentorship has been identified as a key component retention faculty centers. Effective mentoring may promote clinician–scientists workforce.

BACKGROUND: Compared with patients hypertension only, those and diabetes (HTN/DM) have worse prognosis. We aimed to characterize morphological differences between HTN/DM using cardiovascular magnetic resonance; compare differentially expressed proteins associated myocardial fibrosis high throughput multiplex assays. METHODS: Asymptomatic underwent resonance: 438 (60±8 years; 59% males) 167 age- sex-matched (60±10 64% males). Replacement was defined as nonischemic late gadolinium enhancement...
Abstract Adult tissues with high cellular turnover require a balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation, yet the mechanisms underlying this equilibrium are unclear. The cornea exhibits polarized lateral flow of progenitors from peripheral niche to center; attributed differences in fate. To identify genes that critical for regulating asymmetric fates limbal cells their transient amplified progeny central cornea, we utilized an vivo cycle reporter isolate proliferating basal across...
BACKGROUND Diffuse interstitial fibrosis is a potential therapeutic target because of its prognostic significance and reversibility. Sacubitril/valsartan may offer superior anti-fibrotic effects through dual inhibition neprilysin angiotensin receptors. REVERSE-LVH compared the efficacy sacubitril/valsartan versus valsartan in reduction diffuse patients with essential hypertension left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), independent blood pressure (BP) reduction. METHODS Hypertensive participants...
Diffuse interstitial myocardial fibrosis is a key common pathological manifestation in hypertensive heart disease (HHD) progressing to failure (HF). Angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNi), now front-line treatment for HF, confer benefits independent of blood pressure, signifying multifactorial mode action beyond hemodynamic regulation. We aim test the hypothesis that compared with angiotensin II receptor blockade (ARB) alone, ARNi more effective regressing diffuse HHD.Role...
Elevated intraocular pressure–induced interlamellar stromal keratitis (PISK) is an entity of interface haze usually occurring weeks to months after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) that associated with elevated pressures and worsening steroid treatment. There evidence this the result abnormal fluid dynamics occur cornea LASIK. We present a case 9 years LASIK setting anterior uveitis. This emphasizes importance considering such diagnoses as differential diagnosis when presented patient...
Background Sarcopenia is associated with postoperative complications in inflammatory bowel disease. It has most commonly been defined using the skeletal muscle index, computed after analysis of cross-sectional area at L3. Psoas thickness normalized to height (PMTH), which easier derive, a potential surrogate SMI and sarcopenia patients cirrhosis chronic pancreatitis. We investigate whether by PMTH utility predicting post-operative outcomes disease.Methods performed retrospective study adults...
Abstract Breast cancer risk reduction strategies have been well-validated, but barriers remain for high-risk individuals to adopt them. We performed a study among participants with high of breast validate whether virtual health decision tool impacted participant’s willingness start risk-reducing activities, identify adopting these strategies, and understand if it affects anxiety. The sample was 318 in the personalized (investigational) arm Women Informed Screen Depending on Measures (WISDOM)...

Background Heterogenous deposition and homeostasis roles of physiologic ectopic adipose tissues underscore the impact fat compartmentalization on cardiometabolic risk. We aimed to characterize distribution abdominal visceral tissue (VAT), subcutaneous (SAT), epicardial (EAT), liver magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), evaluate their associations with anthropometric indices adverse cardiac remodeling. Methods In this cross-sectional observational study, 149 Asian adults (57.0 ± 12.8 years; 65%...

Abstract Background Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a strong predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes (1). Although normalizing LV mass (LVM) to height exponents has been shown reduce variability from body size, specific recommendations for are lacking due the scarcity normal cohorts define appropriate (2). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) increasingly used in assessing LVM, and existing research based primarily on MESA cohort (3). While ethnically diverse, intrinsic effects...
As health care systems recognize the importance of high-value (HVC), physicians must focus on individualized patient outcomes using economically responsible and evidence-based medicine. The best ways to teach medical trainees HVC principles that can result in meaningful practice behavior changes are unknown.We designed a case-based curriculum mapping six common pediatric clinical scenarios principles. Each scenario included learning objectives, small-group activities, educational resources,...

Chronic nipple pain can be challenging to a multidisciplinary care team. We report case of patient who experienced years ineffective treatment before presenting the management clinic. Upon presentation, was trialed on neuropathic agents, topical medications, acupuncture, calcium channel blockers, intercostal nerve blocks, pulsed radiofrequency, and spinal cord stimulator trial. options what ultimately effective improve scores functionality. Presenting this approach will educate reader about...
