Impact of the state of emergency on trends in the care of three major diseases at Showa University Hospital, Japan: a retrospective and descriptive study
CONCLUSIONS: This study showed a long-term decrease in cancer patient visits to Showa University Hospital since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the previous 3 years. It is also possible that medical care that would have been available may not have been provided due to the state of emergency, so it is necessary to follow up patients while keeping a close eye on measures other than infectious diseases.PMID:35968063 | PMC:PMC9351415 | DOI:10.15167/2421-4248/jpmh2022.63.2.2210

Antithrombotic and antiplatelet effects of plant-derived compounds: a great utility potential for primary, secondary, and tertiary care in the framework of 3P medicine
AbstractThromboembolism is the third leading vascular disease, with a high annual incidence of 1 to 2 cases per 1000 individuals within the general population. The broader term venous thromboembolism generally refers to deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and/or a combination of both. Therefore, thromboembolism can affect both – the central and peripheral veins. Arterial thromboembolism causes systemic ischemia by disturbing blood flow and oxygen supply to organs, tissues, and cells causing, therefore, apoptosis and/or necrosis in the affected tissues. Currently applied antithrombotic drugs used, e.g. to protect af...

Sensors, Vol. 22, Pages 8615: A Catalogue of Machine Learning Algorithms for Healthcare Risk Predictions
is Kyriazis
Extracting useful knowledge from proper data analysis is a very challenging task for efficient and timely decision-making. To achieve this, there exist a plethora of machine learning (ML) algorithms, while, especially in healthcare, this complexity increases due to the domain’s requirements for analytics-based risk predictions. This manuscript proposes a data analysis mechanism experimented in diverse healthcare scenarios, towards constructing a catalogue of the most efficient ML algorithms to be used depending on the healthcare scenario’s requirements and datasets, for efficient...

Air leak in Covid 19: experience from a DGH in the UK
Conclusions: Inpatient incidence of PTX and PM is still approximately 1%. Survival is better as overall Covid19 survival improves(direct mortality from air leak approx. 21 %) with mortality due to other factors rather than the air leak.

The final puff: Can New Zealand quit smoking for good?
Smoking kills. Ayesha Verrall has seen it up close. As a young resident physician in New Zealand’s public hospitals in the 2000s, Verrall watched smokers come into the emergency ward every night, struggling to breathe with their damaged lungs. Later, as an infectious disease specialist, she saw how smoking exacerbated illness in individuals diagnosed with tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. She would tell them: “The best thing you can do to promote your health, other than take the pills, is to quit smoking.”
Verrall is still urging citizens to give up cigarettes—no longer just one by one, but by the thousands. As New...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 16741: 1000 Days: The & ldquo;WeCare Generation & rdquo; Program & mdash;The Ultimate Model for Improving Human Mental Health and Economics: The Study Protocol
Discussion: An overall rate of return on investment (ROI) statistically significant 13.0% per annum with an associated benefit/cost ratio (BCR) of 6.3 is expected as the primary outcome of the “WeCare Generation” program. Our proposed model predicts a new medical paradigm aiming to empower new generations, with a strong return on economy and health.

On prioritising global health ' s triple crisis of sepsis, COVID-19 and antimicrobial resistance: a mixed-methods study from Malawi.
Conclusion Our analysis revealed strong relationships between in-hospital mortality and hospital case volume in hospitals treating a small number of cases. The nonlinearity and nonm onotonicity of the estimated relationships indicate that studies applying conventional statistical approaches like logistic regression should consider these relationships adequately.

An Evidence-Based Review of Vitamin D for Common and High-Mortality Conditions
Conclusion:
Prospective studies of vitamin D supplementation demonstrate variable impact on disease specific and patient-oriented outcomes, suggesting a correlation but not a causal relationship between low vitamin D levels and disease pathogenicity. Future research should determine dosing standards and timing of vitamin D in treatment and prevention.

Recognizing the True Value of Testosterone Therapy in Health Care
Androg Clin Res Ther. 2022 Dec 28;3(1):217-223. doi: 10.1089/andro.2022.0021. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTThere has been little recognition within the medical community of the health impact of testosterone (T) deficiency (TD), also known as hypogonadism, and the substantial benefits of testosterone therapy (TTh) on health and quality of life despite high-level clinical evidence. In a roundtable symposium, investigators summarized the contemporary evidence in several key clinical areas. TD negatively impacts human health and quality of life and is associated with increased mortality. Several studies have demonstrated that TTh ...
