Predicting Acute Cardiovascular Complications in COVID-19: Insights from a Specialized Cardiac Referral Department
CONCLUSIONS D-dimer and NT-proBNP, but not troponin T, are useful in differentiating CVDs in patients with COVID-19. ACS with COVID-19 increased in-hospital mortality independently from extent of lung involvement, while coexisting APE or AMyo did not.PMID:38644597 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.942612 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

Economic Evaluation of COVID-19 Screening Tests and Surveillance Strategies in Low-Income, Middle-Income, and High-Income Countries: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSIONS For the allocation budget for the COVID-19 surveillance test, it is essential to consider the incidence and mortality of the post-pandemic period in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries. A robust method to evaluate outcomes is needed to prevent increasing COVID-19 incidents earlier.PMID:38643358 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.943863 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

Comparison of Outcomes between Single-Level and Double-Level Corpectomy in Thoracolumbar Reconstruction: A Retrospective Study of 16 Patients Using Expandable Cages
CONCLUSIONS In our experience, expandable cages are useful in the restoration of different pathologies of the thoracolumbar trunk with low complication and revision rates. With expandable cages it is possible to achieve restoration of the Cobb angle, improvement in Nurick Grade and effective pain palliation.PMID:38641870 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.943797 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)
