Is the social tariff of EQ-5D adequate to assess quality of life in patients with low back pain?
Methods used to develop the social tariff for the Spanish version of EQ-5D were inadequate. In addition, this study shows that values given by the general population are different from those of low back pain patients, further confirming that the social tariff of EQ-5D should not be used with actual patients.
This is the first study to demonstrate that TRP channels exhibit distinct profiles of expression in the LV and RV of patients with heart failure and in murine models of univentricular pressure overload. We further introduce that the TGFβ1 coreceptor Eng selectively regulates expression of multiple TRP channels in the setting of LV or RV pressure overload.
