Sex ‐related inequalities in management of patients with acute coronary syndrome—results from the EURHOBOP study
ConclusionWomen diagnosed with STEMI/NC, but not NSTEACS, had lower probability when compared with men to be submitted to coronary angiography. There was no difference in performance of reperfusion and revascularisation by sex. (Source: International Journal of Clinical Practice)

Inappropriate medication use and polypharmacy in end ‐stage cancer patients: Isn't it the family doctor's role to de‐prescribe much earlier?
ConclusionThough not representative of the whole end‐stage cancer patient population, our study demonstrates that these patients are exposed to extensive polypharmacy. Most of these medications could have probably been safely de‐prescribed much earlier in the course of the malignant disease. Considering the prolonged trust‐based relationship with their patients, the family physicians are those who should be encouraged to implement the palliative approach and reduce polypharmacy much before reaching hospice settings.

Antibiotic allergy labels —the impact of taking a clinical history
ConclusionsThese simple measures to ‘de‐label’ patients appropriately, would increase the quality of care of this group known to have higher costs, infection with more resistant bacteria and worse health outcomes that ‘non‐labelled’ patients. (Source: International Journal of Clinical Practice)

Patients' preferences for coronary bypass grafting or staged percutaneous coronary intervention in multi ‐vessel coronary artery disease
ConclusionsIn our hypothetical scenario, the majority of participants preferred staged PCI over CABG. Preferences were related to age, complications following CABG, and whether CABG was performed first. (Source: International Journal of Clinical Practice)

Admission calcium levels and risk of acute kidney injury in hospitalised patients
ConclusionAdmission hypocalcaemia and hypercalcaemia are associated with an increased risk for hospital acquired AKI. Patients with admission hypercalcaemia (≥10 mg/dL) carry a 1.51‐fold risk for AKI development during hospitalisation. (Source: International Journal of Clinical Practice)

EBUS: Faster, cheaper and most effective in lung cancer staging
Summary The use of endobronchial ultrasound trans‐bronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) as the initial diagnostic and staging procedure in patients with suspected, non‐metastatic lung cancer has gained substantial support, and is now recommended by numerous guidelines. Whereas considerable attention has been pointed to the reductions in costs achieved by EBUS‐TBNA, that has not been the case for some of its more significant benefits, namely the reduction of the diagnostic work‐up time and its ability to accurately assess and restage lymph nodes, which were previously stated incorrectly by CT or PET scan. Both t...

The importance of integrated left atrial evaluation: From hypertension to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
ConclusionEvaluation of LA size, volume, function and structure are mandatory in the management of patients with HT, HFpEF and AF. A multi‐modality approach could provide additional information, identifying subjects with more severe LA remodelling. Left atrium assessment deserves an accurate study inside the cardiac imaging approach and optimised measurement with established cut‐offs need to be better recognised through multicenter studies.
