The new frontier in sleep diagnostics: Unveiling the power of wearables

Wearable sleep devices have emerged as valuable tools in the field of sleep medicine, providing an accessible and cost-effective alternative to traditional methods like polysomnography (PSG) and Home Sleep Apnea Testing (HSAT) for monitoring sleep. These devices, ranging from consumer-grade fitness trackers to advanced medical-grade sensors, offer a convenient means of tracking sleep patterns, quality, and associated health metrics in real-time.

Imaging evidence for improving erectile function under Testosterone Therapy (TTH)

The main effect of testosterone was long-time assumed to be on sexual interest and, indirectly, on erectile function. Newer insights demonstrate that testosterone deficiency impairs the anatomical, ultrastructural, biological and physiological/functional substrate of penile erection, which can be, at least in part, restored by normalization of plasma testosterone levels.

Accelerated idioventricular rhythm post primary angioplasty in myocardial infarction: Two sides of the coin

Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm (AIVR) is a ventricular ectopic rhythm commonly observed during Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), often seen as a marker of successful revascularization. The occurrence of AIVR post-successful primary angioplasty has not been well described in terms of its time course and associated symptoms, leaving the underlying threat of a potential re-occlusion.
