Prognostic value of 18 FDG-PET at diagnosis and follow-up in giant cell arteritis: An observational restrospective study
CONCLUSION: PET vascular activity scores at diagnosis and at follow-up PET/CT performed outside a period of GCA activity do not display high performance to predict the occurrence of subsequent relapse in LV-GCA patients.PMID:38627183 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2024.03.037 (Source: European Journal of Internal Medicine)

Prognostic impact of hypertension grading
CONCLUSIONS: We were unable to find a significant difference in the relative hazard of cardiovascular events tied to hypertension Grades 1 and 2. Conversely, Grade 3 (clinic BP ≥180/110 mmHg) portends a higher cardiovascular risk, which is associated with higher levels of 24-hour ambulatory BP.PMID:38616483 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2024.04.008 (Source: European Journal of Internal Medicine)

Type 1 diabetes-related distress: Current implications in care
Eur J Intern Med. 2024 Apr 11:S0953-6205(24)00136-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ejim.2024.03.030. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTType 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex chronic disease associated with major health and economic consequences, also involving important issues in the psychosocial sphere. In this regard, T1D-related distress, defined as the emotional burden of living with T1D, has emerged as a specific entity related to the disease. Diabetes distress (DD) is an overlooked but prevalent condition in people living with T1D, and has significant implications in both glycemic control and mental health in this population.

Prognostic value of cognitive impairment, assessed by the Clock Drawing Test, in emergency department patients presenting with non-specific complaints
CONCLUSION: The early identification of patients with CI may lead to improved patient management and resource allocation. The CDT could be used as a risk stratification tool for older ED patients presenting with NSCs, as it is a predictor for 30-day mortality and LOS.PMID:38604939 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejim.2024.03.016 (Source: European Journal of Internal Medicine)
