McConnell ’ s Bid to Downplay Freezes Undermined by History of Politicians Lying About Their Health
After Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell froze during a press conference this month, the Kentucky Republican’s second such episode this summer, his office released a note from the Capitol physician intended to calm those worried about his ability to continue at his job. Dr. Brian Monahan told McConnell in the letter that there was “no evidence that you have a seizure disorder or that you experienced a stroke, TIA or movement disorder such as Parkinson’s disease.” Monahan suggested the episodes may be related to the Leader’s concussion in March or to dehydration.  [time-brightcove n...

Cardiac disease prediction using AI algorithms with SelectKBest
AbstractAtherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which includes coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic stroke, is the leading cause of mortality globally. According to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), 26 million people worldwide have heart disease, with 3.6 million diagnosed each year. Early detection of heart disease will aid in lowering the mortality rate. The lack of diversity in training data and the difficulty in comprehending the findings of complicated AI models are the key issues in current research for heart disease prediction using artificial intelligence. To overcome this, in this paper, cardi...

Left ventricular assist device implantation combined with hemiarch replacement for severe aortic atherosclerosis
J Thorac Dis. 2023 Jul 31;15(7):3979-3983. doi: 10.21037/jtd-23-255. Epub 2023 Jul 6.ABSTRACTImplantation of the left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has emerged as a widely employed therapeutic approach for specifically chosen individuals suffering from severe heart failure. Stroke is a well-known complication of LVAD implantation. Concomitant aortic surgeries in patients requiring LVAD implantation to avoid outflow graft anastomosis to a severe atherosclerotic aorta are unknown. We illustrate a successful LVAD implantation with hemiarch replacement for severe aortic atherosclerosis to decrease the risk of postoperative ...

Global Economic Burden Associated with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Pragmatic Review of Medical Costs for the Inside CKD Research Programme
CONCLUSION: Globally, CKD carries a significant economic burden, which increases substantially with increasing disease severity. We identified significant gaps in published costs and inconsistent costing definitions. Cost-effective interventions that target primary prevention and disease progression are essential to reduce CKD burden. Our results can be used to guide cost collection and facilitate better comparisons across countries/regions to inform healthcare policy.PMID:37493856 | DOI:10.1007/s12325-023-02608-9

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers for adults with early (stage 1 to 3) non-diabetic chronic kidney disease
CONCLUSIONS: There is currently insufficient evidence to determine the effectiveness of ACEi or ARB in patients with stage 1 to 3 CKD who do not have DM. The available evidence is overall of very low certainty and high risk of bias. We have identified an area of large uncertainty for a group of patients who account for most of those diagnosed as having CKD.PMID:37466151 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD007751.pub3
