Effect of atrial fibrillation in Asian patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stents for stable coronary artery disease: Results from a Korean nationwide study
Although the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are increasing in Asia, there is a paucity of data concerning the effect of AF in Asian patients undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stents (DESs). Furthermore, the majority of previous studies investigating the effect of AF on prognosis following PCI have exclusively evaluated patients with myocardial infarction (MI). We aimed to evaluate the effect of AF on clinical outcomes of Asian patients undergoing PCI with DES for coronary artery disease (CAD) excluding acute MI.

The lncRNA MALAT1 rs619586 G Variant Confers Decreased Susceptibility to Recurrent Miscarriage
In conclusion, our study suggests that the rs619586 G variant may have potential protective effects conferring a decreased risk of recurrent miscarriage in the southern Chinese population.
Introduction
Recurrent miscarriage is defined as the loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation (Jaslow et al., 2010; Diejomaoh, 2015). The occurrence of recurrent miscarriage is associated with many factors, including genetic factors, immunological dysfunction, endocrine disorders, unhealthy lifestyles and defects of the reproductive organs (Saravelos and Regan, 2014; Sen et al., 2014; Garrido-Gimen...

More Research Is Needed on Lifestyle Behaviors That Influence Progression of Parkinson's Disease
This article highlights some of these challenges in the design of lifestyle studies in PD, and suggests a more coordinated international effort is required, including ongoing longitudinal observational studies. In combination with pharmaceutical treatments, healthy lifestyle behaviors may slow the progression of PD, empower patients, and reduce disease burden. For optimal care of people with PD, it is important to close this gap in current knowledge and discover whether such associations exist.
Introduction
Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related complex progressive neurodegenerative disorder, with key p...

Cinnamon May Slow Progression To Type 2 Diabetes, Boston Study Finds
(CNN) — Cinnamon may improve blood sugar control in people with a condition known as prediabetes and may slow the progression to type 2 diabetes, according to a new pilot study of 51 people with elevated blood sugars.
“We are looking for safe, durable and cost-effective approaches to reduce the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes,” said study author Dr. Giulio Romeo, a staff physician at Boston’s Joslin Diabetes Center and the division of endocrinology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The study published Tuesday in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.

Risk of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events Associated with Concomitant Use of Antidepressants and Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs: A Retrospective Cohort Study
ConclusionsConcomitant use of antidepressants and NSAIDs moderately elevated the risk of MACE, of which the observed risk appears to be driven by the concomitant use of tricyclic antidepressants and non-selective NSAIDs. Thus, healthcare providers should take precaution when co-prescribing these drugs, weighing the potential benefits and risks associated with their use.

Association between Accreditation and In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Major Cardiovascular Diseases in South Korean Hospitals: Pre-Post Accreditation Comparison.
This study targeted patients who had been hospitalized for the three diseases at the general hospitals newly accredited by the government in 2014. Thirty-day mortality rates of three years before and after accreditation were compared. Mortality within 30 days of hospitalization for the three diseases was lower after accreditation than before (7.34% vs. 6.15% for AMI; 4.64% vs. 3.80% for IS; and 18.52% vs. 15.81% for HS). In addition, hospitals that meet the criteria of the patient care process domain have a statistically lower mortality rate than hospitals that do not. In the newly accredited Korean general hospital, it wa...

Int Heart J. 2021;62(6):1235-1240. doi: 10.1536/ihj.21-328.ABSTRACTCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) including myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke are often diagnosed in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). However, little has been reported regarding the incidence.Patients with AAA were selected from the National Health Insurance system in South Korea between 2009 and 2015. A total of 10,822 participants with a new diagnosis of AAA were included. Propensity score matching by age and sex with patients in whom AAA was not diagnosed was used to select the control group of 32,466 participants. Primary endpoints includ...
