This Indian study demonstrated telmisartan to be efficacious and tolerable for BP control in Indian hypertension patients when used as monotherapy or in combination therapy. The benefits of telmisartan were independent of age, duration, and stages of hypertension.

In recent research, hysterectomy, with or without ovarian preservation, significantly raised the risk of metabolic syndrome. Over a 10.5-year period, 29% of those with a history of hysterectomy and 22% with oophorectomy developed metabolic syndrome. Notably, both hysterectomy [HR, 1.32] and hystero-oophorectomy [1.40] were strongly linked to incident metabolic syndrome compared to those without these procedures.

New research has suggested that preoperative grip strength could be a valuable predictor for postoperative shoulder function in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Higher baseline grip strength correlated with better postoperative shoulder function. Conversely, an increased number of total suture anchors and higher body mass index were associated with poorer postoperative outcomes.
