The prevalence of diabetes mellitus continues to increase worldwide, and it is a well-established cardiovascular risk factor. Hypertension is also an important cardiovascular risk factor to be controlled and is common among patients with diabetes mellitus. Optimal blood pressure (BP) goals have been the subject of great debate in the management of hypertension among patients with diabetes mellitus. This review provides detailed results from randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses of clini

Aux cours de cette étude, nous avons examiné le mandat de protection future dans ses aspects concernant les conditions et les effets du mandat de protection future ainsi que dans le domaine du droit français.

BACKGROUND: Vitiligo is a skin disorder affected by genetic, environmental, local and endocrine factors. Endothelin-1, which is expressed by keratinocytes, has paracrine effects on melanocytes, influencing their homeostasis, proliferation and pigmentation. It is thought to play a role in the skin response to 311-nm, narrow-band ultraviolet irradiation. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of endothelin-1 gene (EDN1) polymorphisms with vitiligo in a Korean population. METHODS: To evaluate th

Emax is a reliable parameter for differentiating malignancies from benign breast lesions. In addition, high stiffness and SDmean values in tumors measured on SWE could be used to predict poorly differentiated, progesterone receptor-negative, or Ki-67-positive breast cancer.

Thermal energy is an essential and useful resource to humans in modern society. However, a consequence of using heat carelessly is burns. Burn injuries have various causes, such as exposure to flame, radiation, electrical, and chemical sources. In this study, we reviewed the history of burn wound care while focusing on the basic principles of burn management. Through this review, we highlight the need for careful monitoring and customization when treating burn victims at each step of wound care,

BACKGROUND/AIMS: The clinical characteristics of patients with masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) have been poorly defined, and few studies have investigated the clinical predictors of MUCH. We investigated the demographic, clinical, and blood pressure (BP) characteristics of patients with MUCH and proposed a prediction model for MUCH in patients with hypertension. METHODS: We analyzed 1,986 subjects who were enrolled in the Korean Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (Kor-ABP) Registry and

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other health complications; thus, the increase in its prevalence poses a significant public health concern.This executive summary of the 2024 Metabolic Syndrome Fact Sheet by the Korean Society of Cardiometabolic Syndrome analyzed the MetS trends observed among adults between 2007 and 2021 using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.The overall prevale
