Community-based smart healthcare initiative reduces carotid intima-media thickness and thrombotic markers in patients with hypertension: A prospective study.

Objective: Unhealthy lifestyles negatively impact the prognosis and outcomes of cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study is to examine the effects of smart healthcare technology in assisting physicians with monitoring and improving patient lifestyles, as well as adjusting treatment plans on carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and thrombotic markers during the therapeutic management of hypertension. Furthermore, we compared the efficacy of smart healthcare interventions with conventional hospital-based follow-up in ameliorating cardiovascular complications in patients with established hypertension.

Structural diversity and magnetic properties of six cobalt coordination polymers based on 2,2'-phosphinico-dibenzoate ligand.

Six novel Co(ii) coordination polymers, namely, [CoL(OH)(HO)]·10.5HO (1), [CoL(3-abpt)]·4HO (2), [CoL(4-azpy)(HO)(EtOH)] (3), [CoL(4,4'-bipy)(HO)(MeCN)] (4), [CoL(4,4'-bipy)] (5), and [CoL(OH)(ina)(HO)] (6) (HL = 2,2'-phosphinico-dibenzoic acid, 3-abpt = 4-amino-3,5-bis(3-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole, 4-azpy = 4,4'-azobispyridine, 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine, Hina = isonicotinic acid), have been hydrothermally synthesized and their magnetic properties have been characterized. The L anion displays six types of coordination modes in the compounds.
