Clinical Symptoms of Jugular Venous Outflow Obstruction and Their Modification After Targeted Surgical Treatment.
Cerebral venous outflow disorders (CVD) are conditions characterized by impairment of cerebral venous drainage. Associated symptoms have been poorly defined, as no standardized diagnostic criteria exist for this class of conditions; most studies to date have attempted to report on symptoms solely ba…
Do Medications Actually Help in Patients with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome?: A Qualitative Study.
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a chronic autonomic disorder associated with debilitating symptoms. No medications have been approved for treatment, and patients commonly use off-label medications to treat symptoms. The hemodynamic implications of certain medication use have been…
Synergistic benefits of agrivoltaics in enhancing microclimate, solar panel efficiency, and physiological and biochemical attributes of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.
The growing need for renewable energy coupled with land-use competition for food production, advocates the value of agrivoltaics (AV) as a double remedy to the conundrum of energy and agriculture. This study evaluated the impact of growing China rose (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis) under PV panels on both…
Evaluating biochar's potential to reduce nitrate leaching and enhance wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield under different nitrogen management practices.
Nitrate (NO₃-) leaching from alkaline coarse-textured agricultural soils is a major concern that reduces nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and limits crop productivity. Application of biochar has been found to improve soil fertility through nutrient retention when used with nitrogen fertilizer, h…
Patterns and drivers of 43,617 mosaic chromosomal alterations in blood.
Clonal expansions of hematopoietic cells carrying mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) are commonly detectable in elderly individuals. Here we studied 43,617 autosomal mCAs ascertained in 484,081 UK Biobank participants using new, high-resolution computational methods to analyze blood-derived, whol…
Gastrointestinal Manifestations of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders: A Mentored Review.
Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) is a connective tissue disorder that is often diagnosed after diagnostic delays due to reliance on heightened clinical suspicion. Hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD) bridge the gap between asymptomatic joint hypermobility and hEDS. Due to overlapping feat…
Presumed Postural Tachycardia Syndrome: 12-Lead Electrocardiograms During Tilt Table Testing Unmask an Atrial Tachycardia.
Tilt table testing is commonly used to evaluate orthostatic intolerance and syncope and is typically performed with three-lead electrocardiography (ECG) monitoring, which limits P-wave interpretation. A 21-year-old woman with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries presented with…
