Computed Tomography Images under Artificial Intelligence Algorithms on the Treatment Evaluation of Intracerebral Hemorrhage with Minimally Invasive Aspiration
Comput Math Methods Med. 2022 Apr 22;2022:6204089. doi: 10.1155/2022/6204089. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of minimally invasive aspiration on intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and the value of artificial intelligence algorithm combined with computed tomography (CT) image evaluation. Ninety-two patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were divided into experimental group (46 cases, minimally invasive aspiration therapy) and control group (46 cases, traditional craniotomy therapy) according to different treatment methods, and CT image scanning was performed. In addition...

Pre-injury Comorbidities Are Associated With Functional Impairment and Post-concussive Symptoms at 3- and 6-Months After Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A TRACK-TBI Study
Conclusions: Pre-injury psychiatric and pre-injury headache/migraine symptoms are risk factors for worse functional and post-concussive outcomes at 3- and 6-months post-mTBI. mTBI patients presenting to acute care should be evaluated for psychiatric and headache/migraine history, with lower thresholds for providing TBI education/resources, surveillance, and follow-up/referrals. Clinical Trial Registration: www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT01565551. Introduction Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In 2013 ~2.8 million TBI cases were recorded an...

Ability to Suppress TGF- β-Activated Myofibroblast Differentiation Distinguishes the Anti-pulmonary Fibrosis Efficacy of Two Danshen-Containing Chinese Herbal Medicine Prescriptions
Conclusion: This study suggests that a clinically efficacious cardiovascular Chinese herbal medicine (DLP) can be successfully repurposed to treat a lung disease in pulmonary fibrosis guided by TCM theory. Our comparative study between DLP and DHP demonstrated a critical requirement of suppressing both pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic pathways for the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, supporting that a multi-component prescription capable of “removing both phlegm and blood stasis” will better achieve co-protection of heart and lung in PHD. Introduction Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic ...

Primary Aldosteronism
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Sep;108(3):273-277.ABSTRACTPrimary aldosteronism is the underlying cause of hypertension in primary care settings in approximately 6% of cases, and it is even more common in patients with resistant hypertension. However, it is estimated that only about 2% of patients who have risk factors for primary aldosteronism have been formally tested or diagnosed. The first step in the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism is case detection and involves testing patients who are at risk, including individuals with resistant hypertension, as well as those with well-controlled hypertension and a first-degree relative...
