Needs of stroke survivors as perceived by their caregivers: a scoping review.
Caregivers usually are not involved while planning the stroke survivor's medical and rehabilitation goals and interventions. This review aimed to identify the needs of stroke survivors as perceived by their caregivers. The data synthesis from 66 studies produced the following three metathemes: (a) body functional needs, (b) activity and participatory needs, and (c) environmental needs.

Current perspectives on systemic hypertension in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a prevalent but incompletely understood syndrome. Traditional models of HFpEF pathophysiology revolve around systemic hypertension (HTN) and other causes of increased left ventricular afterload leading to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and diastolic dysfunction. However, emerging models attribute the development of HFpEF to systemic proinflammatory changes secondary to common comorbidities which include HTN.
