mild pulmonary hypertension on echo :: Article Creator AI Breakthrough In Pulmonary Hypertension Diagnosis: CHEST 2024 PULMONARY hypertension (PH) is a progressive and potentially fatal condition that can go undetected until it reaches advanced stages. Current diagnostic methods, such as transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), lack both sensitivity and specificity and may require invasive right heart catheterization to confirm a diagnosis. However, a groundbreaking study presented at the CHEST Annual Meeting 2024 in Boston, held from October 6 to 9, introduces a multimodal fusion model (MMF-PH) that could transform the detection of PH. This innovative deep learning algorithm integrates data from electronic health records, including chest radiographs, ECG, demographics, and TTE findings, to deliver more accurate results than traditional TTE screening methods alone. The study found that MMF-PH demonstrated superior diagnostic performance across variou...

pulmonary oedema and heart failure :: Article Creator Interstitial Lung Abnormalities In Patients With COPD Linked To Cancer, Heart Failure Risks Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are linked to lower lung adenocarcinoma rates but higher rates of other cancers and heart failure. Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are associated with various comorbidities in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), particularly lung cancer, according to a study published in BMC Pulmonary Medicine.1  Although COPD diagnoses typically rely on patient-reported symptoms and pulmonary function tests, chest computed tomography (CT) imaging is often used to further characterize the disease and associated comorbidities.2 COPD frequently coexists with various comorbidities, like cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and diabetes.3 Chest CT scans can also detect and characterize ILA...

pulmonary hypertension curable :: Article Creator Ellon Mother With Life-limiting Condition Calls For More Understanding Of Hidden Disabilities A woman from Ellon who lives with a challenging rare disease is calling for more understanding of hidden disabilities. Tarves-based Nicki Ross has pulmonary hypertension (PH), a life-limiting condition that causes high pressure in the blood vessels connecting the heart and lungs. She struggles to breathe, can't walk more than a few metres unaided, and is constantly exhausted – but to look at her, you wouldn't know that anything is wrong.

peripheral lung cancer :: Article Creator Gaining Ground In The War On Cancer Pancreatic cancer is notoriously difficult to detect at an early stage. A new biomarker could help to detect it early. Credit: Sebastian Kaulitzki/Science Photo Library/Getty Nearly one in six deaths globally each year is the result of cancer. While much progress has been made in preventing, screening, diagnosing and treating this complex, varied and challenging disease, there is still far to go. In accordance with its founding principle of Saisei-Kyumin ("to save people everywhere"), the Nippon Medical School is dedicating much of its research expertise to study cancer prevention and treatment. As Japan's oldest private medical school, established in 1896, the Tokyo-based institute has long distinguished itself as a research facility that brings the very latest technologies to bear on medical research challenges. Nippon Medical School has tried to deve...

pphn newborn treatment :: Article Creator Vasodilators May Improve Outcomes In Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension In Newborns Various pulmonary vasodilators may improve outcomes in persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPH) in newborns, according to study results submitted to the Heart Failure Society of America (HFSA) Annual Scientific Meeting 2024, held virtually from September 27 to 30, 2024. Inhaled nitric oxide is considered the primary treatment for PPH in newborns, which is associated with a significant increase in neonatal mortality and morbidity. Investigators compared the efficacy of various vasodilators as adjunctive therapy or as second-line therapy for management of PPH in newborns. The investigators conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis pooling results of 12 randomized controlled trials (RCTs; N=2911 patients) to analyze multiple treatment options including endothelin-1 receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase inhibi...

lupus and lungs :: Article Creator Living With Lupus After 'accidental' Diagnosis ROBINSON... People always say I do not look sick, and people tend to not have so much patience when you do not look sick (Photo: Garfield Robinson) ONE year after being diagnosed with lupus at 21 and initially fearing that it meant an early end to her life, 'lupus warrior' Shenae Robinson is living every day with a smile on her face, despite the pain she suffers due to the chronic illness. "Having lupus is an experience in patience and it is an experience of loving my body when it really hates me. Lupus is like when your body decides you are not going to have a good day today, and it's about learning to manage that and learning to be patient with yourself and understanding your limitations, and also understanding that this is not the end of your life and this is not a defining characteristic of you," the 22-year-old said. According to ...
