The Impact of Charlson Comorbidity Index on De Novo Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Procedural Outcomes in the United States. Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 97(1), 88 - 100. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mayocp.2021.06.029

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the utility of Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) as a measure of comorbidity burden to predict procedural outcomes after de novo cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation. METHODS: All de novo CIED implantatio... Read More about The Impact of Charlson Comorbidity Index on De Novo Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Procedural Outcomes in the United States.

The Variability In Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Testing Interval In People With Diabetes Is Linked To Long-Term Diabetes Control, Independent of HbA1c Test Interval (2021)
Journal Article
Heald, A., Holland, D., Stedman, M., Duff, C. J., Green, L., Scargill, J., …Fryer, A. A. (in press). The Variability In Glycosylated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) Testing Interval In People With Diabetes Is Linked To Long-Term Diabetes Control, Independent of HbA1c Test Interval. Endocrine, https://doi.org/10.1530/endoabs.77.p64

Worldwide guidance advocates regular HbA1c testing for people with diabetes mellitus, usually 2-4/yr. We previously showed that HbA1c testing frequency is linked to outcome in terms of HbA1c control. Here we examine the effect of variability (standar...

The Pro-Survival Oct4/Stat1/Mcl-1 Axis Is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients (2021)
Journal Article
Su, Y., Chen, Y., Tseng, Y., Shieh, G., Wu, P., Shiau, A., & Wu, C. (2021). The Pro-Survival Oct4/Stat1/Mcl-1 Axis Is Associated with Poor Prognosis in Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients. Cells, 10(10), Article 2642. https://doi.org/10.3390/cells10102642

The embryonic stem cell marker Oct4 is expressed in several human cancers and is positively correlated with a poor outcome in cancer patients. However, its physiological role in cancer progression remains poorly understood. Tumor cells block apoptosi...

The Fourth Trimester: Pregnancy as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Disease (2021)
Journal Article
Wu, P., Park, K., & Gulati, M. (2021). The Fourth Trimester: Pregnancy as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Disease. European Cardiology Review, 16, Article e31. https://doi.org/10.15420/ecr.2021.18

Pregnancy identifies women who may be at a greater risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), based on the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs), and may identify women who may benefit from atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) risk reduction efforts. AP... Read More about The Fourth Trimester: Pregnancy as a Predictor of Cardiovascular Disease.

Inadequate post-partum screening for type 2 diabetes in women with previous gestation diabetes mellitus: a retrospective audit of practice over 17 years. (2021)
Journal Article
Ward, R. J., Fryer, A. A., Hanna, F. W., Spencer, N., Mahmood, M., Wu, P., …Duff, C. J. (2021). Inadequate post-partum screening for type 2 diabetes in women with previous gestation diabetes mellitus: a retrospective audit of practice over 17 years. International Journal of Clinical Practice, e14447 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijcp.14447

INTRODUCTION: Women with gestational diabetes (GDM) are at greatly increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The UK guidance recommends screening for T2DM at around 6 weeks post-partum and annually thereafter. We evaluated conformity to this guidance...
