Imaging Review Tips for Advance Practice Providers
According to our Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Advisory Board, imaging review, a key aspect of mild® patient candidate identification, is often not included in initial schooling. To help APPs learn the basics of image review, become more familiar with identifying anatomical landmarks, and understand how to confirm if a patient is a candidate for the mild® Procedure, we asked James ...

The power of autoantibodies to enhance clinical development success in Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)
An unmet need for disease-modifying therapy persists for patients with Systemic Sclerosis SSc is an autoimmune disease characterised by widespread vascular injury, progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs, and a specific pattern of autoantibodies. The clinical manifestations of SSc are highly heterogenous with significant internal organ manifestations causing a greater mortality ...

Small Wristband Solved the Big Medical Problem
In clinical work, wristband checking is one of the important ways of patient identification, and plays an important role in strict implementation of the checking system. Especially for severe patients, neonates and infants with surgery, coma, unconsciousness and disability, wristband should be worn as the basis for effective checking. And hospitalization number is the only sign that patients do ...

What is the ICD code for HFpEF?
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is currently affecting over half of heart failure patients. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), two departments within the U.S. Federal Government’s Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), use the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) for coding ...

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing in Drug Discovery and Development
What Are the Advantages of Single-Cell RNA Sequencing? One of the significant advantages of scRNA-seq in drug discovery is its impact on target identification. By allowing researchers to dissect complex tissues and diseases at the cellular level, scRNA-seq enables the identification of distinct cell subtypes and their gene expression profiles. This information can lead to a better understanding ...

Cellular and molecular differences between HFpEF and HFrEF
Heart failure affects about 6.2 million Americans and is rising in prevalence. With half of these cases presenting as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), it’s essential for both the medical community and the population at large to have a better understanding of its pathology. [1,2] Knowing the differences between HFpEF and its counterpart, heart failure with reduced ...

Conceptual Considerations for Device-Based Therapy in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Abstract Acute decompensated heart failure remains the most common cause of hospitalization in older adults, and studies of pharmacological therapies have yielded limited progress in improving outcomes for these patients. This has prompted the development of novel device–based interventions, classified mechanistically based on the way in which they intend to improve central hemodynamics, ...
