Background: Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) affects 30% to 50% of stroke survivors, severely impacting functional outcomes and quality of life. This study uses functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to assess task-evoked brain activation and its potential for stratifying the severity in patients with PSCI.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Nanchong Central Hospital between June 2023 and April 2024.

Objective: This study evaluates cardiac function in older adults with T2DM and preserved LVEF using two-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography to explore the risk factors associated with subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction (GLS <18%) in this population.

Methods: All patients (n = 87, aged 60 years and above) and controls (n = 20) underwent clinical assessment and echocardiography, including GLS assessment.

Results: Univariate analysis identified gender (OR 3.

Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) commonly occurs following surgical repair of degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR) and is associated with unfavorable outcomes. This study aimed to identify preoperative risk factors for acute POAF in patients undergoing mitral valve repair for DMR, with a specific focus on the role of preoperative echocardiography.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 1127 DMR patients who underwent mitral valve repair between 2017 and 2022.
