A Nationwide Cross-sectional Survey of Knowledge and Practices of Diabetes Drug Injection Techniques of Patients, Nurses, and Physicians: The China IT Improve Study.
To investigate the knowledge and practices of diabetes drug injection techniques of diabetes patients, nurses, and physicians to support formulating national guidelines for standardized diabetes drug injection techniques. ⋯ Poor glycemic control, occurrences of injection-associated complications in diabetes patients, and poor knowledge domain scores of a subset of physicians and nurses highlight the importance of regular assessment and education regarding diabetes drug injection techniques for physicians and nurses and development of national guidelines for diabetes drug injection.

Association of Mild-to-Moderate Aortic Regurgitation With Outcomes in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.
To assess aortic regurgitation (AR) prevalence, its hemodynamic effect, and long-term prognostic implications in patients admitted with de novo or worsened heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). ⋯ Mild-to-moderate AR is common among patients hospitalized for HFpEF. It is associated with adverse LV remodeling and worse long-term outcomes. These findings warrant further prospective studies addressing the importance of AR in prognostic stratification and exploring therapeutic strategies to mitigate its hemodynamic effect on HF.
