Seasonal variation in day-to-day blood pressure variability: large-scale within-individual home blood pressure data

Abstract Day-to-day home blood pressure (BP) variability predicts cardiovascular and cognitive risk, but whether it shows seasonal variation within the same individual remains uncertain. We examined its seasonal patterns using repeated personal health record measurements. We anal...

Impact of adjuvant chemotherapy on renal impairment patients following radical nephroureterectomy in upper tract urothelial carcinoma: a multicenter retrospective study

Abstract To evaluate the impact of adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy (AC) on oncological outcomes in high-risk upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients with postoperative renal impairment following radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Among 1050 patients who underwent RNU...
