A long-term quality-of-care score for predicting the occurrence of macrovascular diseases in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is prevalent worldwide, and the number of patients was estimated to be 382 million in 2013 and expected to rise to 592 million by 2035 [1]. In Taiwan, around 7% of the total population (about 1.6 million) had DM in 2012, 90% of whom had type 2 diabetes mellitus. DM has been among the top five leading causes of death in Taiwan for more than three decades and took up about 11.5% of the total healthcare expenditures in the recent years [2]. In addition, DM is associated with a 2 –4 times higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke, which are the leading causes of death and disability among ...

Evolving concepts in atrial fibrillation epidemiology: Advancing knowledge about cardiovascular health in sub-Saharan Africa
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia presenting in the daily clinical practice [1]. In the last 50  years, AF prevalence and incidence have been shown to constantly increase, progressively becoming a worldwide healthcare issue, with relevant public health expenditure, both in terms of clinical management and consequences related to the main clinical adverse events related to AF (i.e. stroke, ma jor bleeding, cardiovascular events) [1,2].

Correlates of Emergency Department Service Utilization Among U.S. Chinese Older Adults
AbstractOlder adults visit emergency departments (EDs) at a disproportionally higher rate than other age groups. Prior studies examining racial disparities in ED utilization focus on African Americans and Hispanics. There is a dearth of information on ED utilization patterns among older Asian Americans despite the evidence that ED expenditures in Asian Americans are comparable to that of Caucasians. To address this knowledge gap, we examined factors associated with ED service utilization in the largest Asian subgroup, U.S. Chinese older adults. Cross-sectional data from the Population Study of Chinese Elderly in Chicago (P...

Probiotics improve gut microbiota dysbiosis in obese mice fed a high-fat or high-sucrose diet
The prevalence of obesity has been dramatically increasing globally over decades [1]. Obesity is caused by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors, and is also suggested to be the result of a long-term imbalance between energy intake and expenditure [2]. Calorie-rich foods that are high in fat or carbohydrates combining with sedentary lifestyles are the most common factors underlying the global obesity epidemic [3]. High-fat diets (HFD) increase adipose tissue and induce metabolic and cardiovascular disorders (such as atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and hypertension [4, 5]), especially in those...

The Contribution of Physical Activity to Health-Related Quality of Life: New Population Estimates from National Survey Data
In this study, we calculated the HRQoL gains attributable to PA across three nationally representative data sets that use different quality of life measures, and assessed the reliability in the results. The data sets used were the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), and the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Quasi-likelihood regression modeling with a beta distribution was used to generate the estimates. We found mean HRQoL scores were very similar across the three data sets and the estimated HRQoLs gained from PA varied only slightly, suggesting that all t...

Bariatric surgery reduces incidence of atrial fibrillation: a propensity score –matched analysis
Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects 33.5 million individuals worldwide [1] and it is estimated that the prevalence of AF in the United States will increase 2- to 3-fold over the next 50 years [2]. Patients with AF are more likely to experience a variety of negative health outcomes, including myocardial infarction, heart failure, and stroke [3,4]. In addition to these major health risks, there is a significant economic burden associated with AF, amounting to as much as $26 billion in annual healthcare expenditures in the United States alone [5].

Health system challenges affecting rehabilitation services in South Africa.
This article presents challenges and solutions to ensure that South Africa can meet WHO 2030 Rehabilitation Goals for equitable provision of effective public rehabilitation services using the WHO's health system building block framework. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION To meet the challenge of providing rehabilitation for those in need requires country-specific, strategic, evidence-informed, and planned decisions in terms of best investment for highest return. Whilst there is sound international evidence for best-practice rehabilitation care, country-specific strategies are required to identify and address local barriers t...

The Use of Embolic Protection Devices During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.
Authors: Shiyovich A, Kornowski R Abstract BACKGROUND: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common valvular pathology and is increasing in prevalence. Severe symptomatic AS is associated with serious outcomes if left untreated. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an innovative modality, which has revolutionized the treatment of AS. With growing experience and technological upgrades, TAVI has become a valid alternative to surgical valve replacement. However, TAVI is associates with increase non-negligible risks of mortality, stroke, physical disability, and healthcare expenditures. Furthermore, imaging modalities...

The burden of health conditions across race and ethnicity for aging Americans: Disability-adjusted life years
The objective of this study was to determine the burden of 10 health conditions across race and ethnicity for a nationally-representative sample of aging Americans. Data from the 1998 to 2014 waves of the Health and Retirement Study, an ongoing longitudinal-panel study, were analyzed. Those aged over 50 years who identified as Black, Hispanic, or White were included. There were 5510 Blacks, 3423 Hispanics, and 21,168 Whites in the study. At each wave, participants reported if they had cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure, diabetes, back pain, hypertension, a fractured hip, myocardial i...

Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention Roundtable: Australian Implementation and Research Priorities
Cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, is the leading cause of death and disease burden globally [1]. CVD resulted in>1.1 million hospitalisations in 2015-16, and incurs the highest level of health care sector expenditure in Australia (11-12% of total health expenditure) [2]. CHD accounts for the greatest single disease morbidity (>500,000 bed-days annually) and nearly one fifth of all deaths with a total cost of $1.14 billion annually [2]. Over 65,000 Australians experience an acute coronary event (heart attack or unstable angina) each year [3], and, importantly, around a third of...

Sensors, Vol. 20, Pages 3236: A Mobile Application for Smart Computer-Aided Self-Administered Testing of Cognition, Speech, and Motor Impairment
We present a model for digital neural impairment screening and self-assessment, which can evaluate cognitive and motor deficits for patients with symptoms of central nervous system (CNS) disorders, such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Parkinson’s disease (PD), Huntington’s disease (HD), or dementia. The data was collected with an Android mobile application that can track cognitive, hand tremor, energy expenditure, and speech features of subjects. We extracted 238 features as the model inputs using 16 tasks, 12 of them were based on a self-administered cognitive testing (SAGE) methodology and...

Comparison of Frequency of Atrial Fibrillation in Blacks versus Whites and the Utilization of Race in a Novel Risk Score
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia in the world, with over 30 million people affected as of 2010.1 The number of patients projected to develop AF will double over the next decade.2 AF is independently associated with an increased risk of stroke,3 heart failure (HF),4 and mortality.5 It is not surprising, thus, that AF assumes a sizeable share of health care expenditure and its magnitude is reaching epidemic proportions.6 Blacks despite having a higher prevalence of traditional risk factors for AF, such as HF, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus, have been shown to have a lower incidence of AF.
