Usefulness of a Combination of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1, Galectin-3, and N-Terminal Probrain Natriuretic Peptide to Predict Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease
Patients with coronary artery disease may develop not only ischemic events but also heart failure and death due to previous myocardial damage. The purpose of this study was to test the prognostic value of a panel of plasma biomarkers related to vascular (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1] and soluble tumor necrosis factor–like weak inducer of apoptosis) and myocardial damage (galectin-3, N-terminal fragment of brain natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP], and neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin) in 706 patients with chronic coronary artery disease followed for 2.2 ± 0.99 years. Secondary outcomes were the inc...

Off-Hour Admission and Mortality Risk for 28 Specific Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of 251 Cohorts Epidemiology
Conclusions
Off-hour admission is associated with increased mortality risk, and the associations varied substantially for different diseases. Specialists, nurses, as well as hospital administrators and health policymakers can take these findings into consideration to improve the quality and continuity of medical services.
