Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in diabetes. Actually, systematic screening of asymptomatic diabetic patients for silent myocardial ischemia is highly controversial, and is recommended for selected high-risk patients.
Calcium artery calcification score predicts major
Bed rest is a widely accepted experimental model used to study physiological adaptations to space flight, including bone and muscle mass loss, fluid shift, and cardiovascular deconditioning. Generally, participants are asked to spend a period in bed, with all activities of daily living being
BACKGROUND. Impedance cardiography (IC) is a complementary diagnostic test used in the study of arterial hypertension (AHT) and in the optimization of antihypertensive therapy. It is easy-to-execute, non-operator-dependent and cost-effective. It analyses and registers hemodynamic changes through the
Introduction
Resistant hypertension (RH) is characterized when the blood pressure (BP) remains above the recommended goal after taking three antihypertensive drugs with synergistic actions, at their maximum recommended tolerated doses for at least six months; one preferably should be a diuretic.
Dexmedetomidine is a potent selective α-2-adrenergic receptor agonist frequently used for sedation in the ICU, also among critically ill patients. It promotes sedation, anxiolysis, and moderate analgesia with minimal respiratory depression. Sedation of ICU patients remains challenging for doctors

After collection of written informed consent, the following data will be collected:
- History: type of diabetes, comorbidities, current medication, duration of diabetes and complications, voluptuary habits
The early identification of individuals at high risk for development of CVD has been a challenging and highly relevant pursuit for clinicians and epidemiologists. The clinical significance of early identification of CAD becomes apparent because several of the cardiac risk factors are modifiable.
Inclusion Criteria

- Age 35-84 years
- Subjects must provide written informed consent after the scope and nature of the investigation has been explained to them
- Subjects should be stable on their concomitant medications for at least 12 weeks prior to
Introduction:
In this proposal we intend to compare the effect of Sertindole to that of Risperidone on cognitive impairment in schizophrenia.
Hypothesis:
Sertindole will be as effective as Risperidone for treating cognitive impairment in schizophrenia and with fewer side effects.
