Direct Oral Anticoagulants for Pulmonary Embolism
Hamostaseologie. 2024 Mar 11. doi: 10.1055/a-2105-8736. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most common cardiovascular disease. For most patients, the standard of treatment has long consisted on low-molecular-weight heparin followed by vitamin K antagonists, but a number of clinical trials and, subsequently, post-marketing studies have shown that direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) with or without lead-in heparin therapy are effective alternatives with fewer adverse effects. This evidence has led to important changes in the guidelines on the treatment of VTE, including pulmonary embolism ...

Did child obesity decline after 2016 food regulations in Chile?
Rev Panam Salud Publica. 2024 Mar 8;48:e16. doi: 10.26633/RPSP.2024.16. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTWe estimated trends in the prevalence of obesity and overweight among Chilean primary and secondary students before and after Chile's 2016 regulations on the marketing and availability of foods high in energy, total sugars, sodium, or saturated fat. We used data from Chile's Survey of Nutrition, which measured the body mass index (BMI) of students in government-funded schools. Using BMI thresholds defined by the World Health Organization, we calculated the prevalence of overweight and obesity for each year from 2013 to 2019 amo...

Consumer characteristics and preferences for mobulid gill plates in China
Conserv Biol. 2024 Mar 11:e14244. doi: 10.1111/cobi.14244. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMobulid species are endangered globally, and the market trade for gill plates is believed to be a major threat. Successful conservation and the sustainable use of mobulids therefore require an objective understanding of consumer characteristics and preferences for gill plates. Previous studies focused on qualitative descriptions, and reliable quantitative analyses are currently lacking. We used a latent class choice experiment method and a semistructured questionnaire to provide important new quantitative information about gill plate c...
