Impact of prior bariatric surgery on outcomes of hospitalized patients with systemic lupus erythematosus: a propensity score-matched analysis of the U.S. nationwide inpatient sample
CONCLUSIONS: Prior bariatric surgery is associated with favorable in-hospital outcomes in hospitalized patients with SLE and decreased likelihood for several SLE-related complications.PMID:37735043 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2023.06.006

Noncardiac comorbidities and intensive up ‐titration of oral treatment in patients recently hospitalized for heart failure: insights from the STRONG‐HF trial
ConclusionsIn the STRONG-HF trial, non-cardiac comorbidities neither limited the rapid up-titration of HF-therapies, nor attenuated the benefit of HIC on primary endpoint.In the context of a clinical trial, the benefit-risk ratio favors the rapid up-titration of HF-therapies even in patients with multiple NCCsThis article is protected by copyright.

Modeling the public health impact of voxelotor in the management of sickle cell disease in France
The objective of this study was to estimate the impact of voxelotor on the burden of SCD in France using a modeling approach, accounting for its anticipated adoption and diffusion over the next 5 years. We designed a sequential multi-cohort model to project and compare the cumulative incidence of SCD complications over a 20-year time horizon in a world with and without voxelotor. A distribution of patients was simulated across various levels of Hb response based on the phase 3 HO PE trial results, and relative risk reduction was adjusted using published meta-analysis results that projected risk reduction due to a 1 g/dL in...

Prevalence of atrial fibrillation and reasons for undertreatment with oral anticoagulants
ConclusionsIn the population of V ästernorrland County, a very high AF prevalence of 4.7% was found, of which just over 90% would theoretically benefit from OAC treatment. This is higher than previously reported and stresses the importance of stroke prevention in this large patient group.

What Are the Complications of Sickle Cell Trait?
Discussion Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited blood disorders where there are abnormal hemoglobin molecules and the red blood cells take on a characteristic sickled shape instead of a rounded shape. Sickled hemoglobin provides an evolutionary advantage of giving the individual increased protection against severe and cerebral malaria. The sickled shape doesn’t move through the vascular system as well and therefore is more likely to aggregate in small vessels causing an increased risk of vaso-occlusive disease, acute chest syndrome, splenic sequestration, and priapism. There is also an increased risk of ...

Evaluating Preoperative Intravenous Iron and Erythropoietin Treatment and Outcomes in Cardiac Surgery Patients
CONCLUSIONS: Infection (P = 0.258), mortality rate (P = 0.440), and RBC utilization (P = 0.469) in the two groups of injection and non-injection were not significantly different.PMID:37645003 | PMC:PMC10461381 | DOI:10.5812/aapm-130899

Fast Heartburn Relief Without Deadly Drugs
Since gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was first identified in the early 1930s, the number of people experiencing heartburn has increased substantially. In fact, one study shows that in just 10 years, the number of people experiencing:1 Any GERD symptoms increased by 30% Symptoms at least once a week increased by 47% Severe GERD increased by 24% While these numbers are concerning, I’ll admit they’re not surprising considering the typical American diet. Our nutrition-less, grain-based diet of carbohydrates and starches has wrecked our health and made our bodies behave in ways nature never intended. This has led ...

Diagnostic ability of Japanese version of high bleeding risk criteria for ischemic outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction
AbstractThe Japanese version of high bleeding risk (J-HBR) criteria was domestically proposed to identify patients at HBR after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The applicability of J-HBR on bleeding events has been validated, while whether J-HBR predicts ischemic events is uncertain. This bi-center registry included 904 patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) undergoing primary PCI. Patients were stratified by the J-HBR major (1 point) and minor (0.5 point) criteria. Patients with J-HBR  ≥ 1 point were diagnosed as having HBR. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a com...

Methemoglobin as a marker of acute anemic stress in cardiac surgery
iScience. 2023 Jul 20;26(8):107429. doi: 10.1016/j.isci.2023.107429. eCollection 2023 Aug 18.ABSTRACTBiological evidence supports plasma methemoglobin as a biomarker for anemia-induced tissue hypoxia. In this translational planned substudy of the multinational randomized controlled transfusion thresholds in cardiac surgery (TRICS-III) trial, which included adults undergoing cardiac surgery requiring cardiopulmonary bypass with a moderate-to-high risk of death, we investigated the relationship between perioperative hemoglobin concentration (Hb) and methemoglobin; and evaluated its association with postoperative outcomes. Th...

Umbilical Cord Milking in Nonvigorous Infants: A Cluster-Randomized Crossover Trial
Approximately 6 million infants each year require resuscitation at birth. Requiring this intervention is associated with higher risk of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), cerebral palsy, attention-deficit or hyperactive disorder, autism, neonatal stroke, and death. In infants needing resuscitation, optimal cord management is essential to enhance placental transfusion. Delayed cord clamping (DCC) is used to enable placental transfusion in vigorous infants, but in nonvigorous infants—those who are limp, pale, or have minimal or no breathing—early cord clamping (ECC) is recommended. Another intervention for nonvigorou...

Percutaneous left atrial appendage closure in patients with gastrointestinal bleeding associated with oral anticoagulants
CONCLUSIONS: LAAC could be a safe and effective alternative to OAC in patients with non-valvular AF presenting significant, recurrent or potentially unresolvable GIB. This intervention also leads to important savings in the consumption of healthcare resources.PMID:37489111 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2023.2239973
