The Relationship

The relationship between migraine and blood pressure is controversial. We studied the association between migraine and blood pressure in a population-based sample of elderly patients. Participants were 1373 subjects 59-71 years of age. Lifetime migraine was diagnosed according to the International Headache Society criteria by a headache specialist. Blood pressure was measured as well as the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) which is a good marker of the long-term exposure to high blood pressure. Migraine during life was diagnosed in 140 participants. Mean systolic blood pressure was lower in subjects with migraine than in those without headache (128 mmHg vs. 137 mmHg). There was a significant trend of decreasing frequency of migraine with increasing blood pressure and also with increasing IMT. In this study, migraine was associated with lower levels of blood pressure and with smaller values of carotid wall thickness.

The Relationship

Large blood pressure variability (BPV) will not only harm the target organ but also increase the possibility of the cardiovascular events. Since the damage of vascular system always leads to the alteration of the carotid wall, the structure and function of the carotid artery have been extensively examined in previous studies. In this work we conduct a study (60 subjects, aged 33–79) to evaluate the relationship between BPV and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in Shenzhen, which is one large city in the southern area of China. In our study, the blood pressure (BP) was collected using the 24 h ambulatory BP monitoring, and the BPV was evaluated using standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation (CV), and average real variability (ARV) during 24 h, daytime and nighttime. All the IMT measurements are collected by ultrasound. The results show that both the daytime, and 24 h systolic BPV evaluated by three indices are positively associated with IMT. Among them, daytime systolic BPV evaluated with ARV is the best variable to represent the increasing of carotid IMT. In addition, after adjusting by age, sex, smoking, hypertension, and mean BP and PP values, 24 h diastolic BPV evaluated with SD also presents the favorable performance.

The Relationship

Introduction: In recent days, the relationship between gender, tumour stage and survival of bladder cancer has attracted interest. Materials and Methods: The Austrian cancer registry was linked to the national death statistics. All patients with urothelial cancer of the urinary bladder with stages pT1, pT2, pT3 and pT4 diagnosed between 1983 until 2012 were followed for up to 15 years. Overall and cancer-specific mortality were estimated by cumulative incidence. Results: A total of 27,773 patients were analysed. The male:female ratio declined from 3:1 for stage pT1-tumours (n = 16,416) to 2.6:1 for pT2 (n = 6,548), 2.1:1 for pT3 (n = 3,111) and 1.9:1 for pT4 (n = 1,698). The 5 years cumulative overall death rate for pT1 tumours was slightly lower for women (0.31 vs. 0.32; p = 0.016). The opposite was observed for more advanced tumour stages: pT2: women 0.66, men: 0.60 (p = 0.0001); pT3: women 0.76, men 0.72 (p = 0.0004) and for pT4: women 0.90, men 0.85 (p = 0.0001). Cancer-specific survival was identical for pT1-tumours in both sexes, while women had a worse cancer-specific survival in both age cohorts (<70 years and ≥70 years) with higher tumour stages. Conclusions: This population-based study demonstrates that (1) a rise of advanced bladder cancer stages in women and (2) that women with tumour stages >pT1 have a shorter cancer-specific and overall survival.
