Hospital-Acquired Anemia in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome: Epidemiology and Potential Impact on Long-Term Outcome
Anemia (either pre-existing or hospital-acquired) is considered an independent predictor of mortality in acute coronary syndromes. However, it is still not clear whether anemia should be considered as a marker of worse health status or a therapeutic target. We sought to investigate the relationship between hospital-acquired anemia and clinical and laboratory findings and to assess the association with mortality and major cardiovascular events at long-term follow-up.

However, it is still not clear whether anemia should be considered as a marker of worse health status or a therapeutic target. We sought to investigate the relationship between hospital-acquired anemia and clinical and laboratory findings and to assess the association with mortality and major cardiovascular events (MACE) at long term follow-up.

Development of a Novel Clinical Risk Score for COVID-19 Infections
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has presented substantial challenges for healthcare systems, clinical care, and epidemiological models globally. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only led to severe clinical outcomes but has also imposed a burden on multiple aspects of society, including mental health,13 the education system,12 and societal burden associated with the long Covid syndrome. Precise prediction of severe outcomes is essential for efficient resource allocation and risk management. Multiple studies have been conducted to develop prognostic scores and identify patients at risk of severe COVID outcomes, such as hospitalizations...

Advancing the quintuple aim of healthcare through the integration of genetic counselors into primary care
There is an expectation that the promise of genomic medicine will be realized through its integration into primary care.1 However, primary care is in a state of crisis, where practitioners have additional demands with fewer resources, leading to tremendous strain on the system and stress on the workforce.

A First Presentation of Autoimmune Primary Adrenal Insufficiency
Primary adrenal insufficiency is a rare disease with an estimated incidence in Western countries of 35-60 cases per million and is characterized by hypocortisolism and hypoaldosteronism.1 Autoimmune disease is the most common etiology of primary adrenal insufficiency and is responsible for 70-90% of cases.1 Patients with chronic autoimmune processes can present in adrenal crisis characterized by hypotension with other common features including weakness and fatigue, GI symptoms, hyperpigmentation, hyponatremia, and hyperkalemia.
