Challenges in Ventricular Arrhythmia Ablation: Difficult Substrates and Advanced Ablation Strategies
This article provides a brief overview of difficult substrate ablation strategies in patients with premature ventricular contractions (PVC) or ventricular tachycardia (VT) and explores methods to improve outcomes for cases that do not respond to typical ablation techniques.Recent findingsRecent developments highlight the crucial role of advanced imaging and mapping techniques in the visualization, characterization, and localization of challenging ventricular substrates. Additionally, some novel and advanced ablation strategies may be useful when PVC/VT is refractory to conventional ablation treatment.SummaryAn expanding sp...

Alcohol consumption during pregnancy by women from southern Brazil: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: Alcohol intake during pregnancy is common and affects nearly one-third of pregnant women. Knowledge of the population at risk and protective factors is essential for the development of campaigns that seek to reduce consumption and, therefore, its consequences for the mother and fetus.PMID:38655982 | DOI:10.1590/1516-3180.2023.0186.R1.08022024 (Source: Sao Paulo Medical Journal)

Association between sleep duration and a new onset of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Conclusions In women, a short sleep duration was independently associated with the onset of NAFLD, thus suggesting that an adequate sleep duration can be a promising preventive factor for the onset of NAFLD in women.PMID:38658342 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.3119-23 (Source: Internal Medicine)

The association between single and dual use of cannabis and alcohol and driving under the influence and riding with an impaired driver in a large sample of Canadian adolescents
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights that all students, regardless of substance use, are at risk of IDR, but students engaged in dual use of alcohol and cannabis face an elevated risk compared to both peers who do not use substances and those who use only a single substance. These findings emphasize the importance of targeted interventions that address the risks associated with IDR.PMID:38656911 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2024.2342571 (Source: Traffic Injury Prevention)

Blood Pressure Control and Associated Factors among Hypertension Comorbid Type 2 Diabetic Patients in Southeast Ethiopia
CONCLUSION: Uncontrolled hypertension was found to be high among hypertension comorbid type 2 diabetic patients. Patients' adherence to antihypertensive medication, physical activity, and alcohol abstinence should be maximized. Loss of weight is also crucial, as is the early detection and management of comorbidities.PMID:38655153 | PMC:PMC11039015 | DOI:10.1155/2024/6668436 (Source: International Journal of Hypertension)

Survival and mortality profile among people living with HIV in a cohort in the Northeastern region of Brazil
This study aimed to estimate the survival and causes of death according to age group and sex among PLHIV monitored at two referral centers in the Northeastern Brazil. This is a prospective, retrospective cohort with death records from 2007 to 2018, based on a database that registers causes of death using the International Classification of Disease (ICD-10), which were subsequently coded following the Coding Causes of Death in HIV (CoDe). A total of 2,359 PLHIV participated in the study, with 63.2% being men, with a follow-up period of 13.9 years. Annual mortality rate was 1.46 deaths per 100 PLHIV (95% CI: 1.33 - 1.60) wit...
