The doctor-patient relationship is central to the practice of medicine and is essential for the delivery of high-quality health care in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. The patients must have confidence in the competence of doctors and should feel that they can confide in him or her. For physicians, the establishment of a good rapport with the patients is also important. This being said, some medical specialties, emphasize more on the doctor-patient relationship than others. The doctor-patient relationship forms one of the foundations of contemporary medical ethics.DOI: 10.3329/pulse.v3i1.6546Pulse Vol.3(1) July 2009 p12-14

Background: Engaging in habitual resistance exercise training (RET; also known as strength training) causes systemic health effects beyond those caused by aerobic/endurance exercise training alone. Despite the…
Carotid stiffening is considered an important element in the pathogenesis of cerebrovascular diseases. These include stroke as well as vascular dementia and depression. However, results of individual studies evaluating…
Background: In part one of this two-part series, we performed a detailed analysis of the hemodynamic signature produced during resistance exercise (RE) and discussed the subacute effects on short-term modulation of…
Vascular calcification is heterogeneous and triggered by multiple mechanisms. It has been implicated in the development of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and cognitive function impairment…
Background: Patients with spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are at a greater risk for the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) than able-bodied individuals due to the high risk of endothelial dysfunction. Summary…
Background: We compared skin and plasma measurements of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), with particular focus on their levels in the presence of hypertension or diabetes and prediabetes and their associations…
Background: The cardioprotective benefits and prognostic significance of regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (PA), increased cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), or both are often underappreciated by the medical…
Pulse wave velocity (PWV), a marker of arterial stiffness, is known to change instantaneously with changes in blood pressure. In this mini-review, we discuss two main approaches for handling the blood pressure…
Aortic stiffness increases with age and is a robust predictor of cerebrovascular events and cognitive decline including Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Recent clinical studies have investigated the…
BACKGROUND: Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) is increasingly used for the measurement of arterial stiffness. In the present study, we quantified the interrelationship between brachial-ankle and carotid-femoral…
