Chlamydia pneumoniae infection and cerebral infarction risk: a meta‐analysis
Conclusion(1) This meta‐analysis indicated that C. pneumoniae infection was significantly associated with an increased risk of cerebral infarction. (2) Compared with anti‐C. pneumoniae immunoglobulin G, anti‐C. pneumoniae immunoglobulin A seemed more effective for predicting the risk of cerebral infarction. (3) No evidence existed that anti‐C. pneumoniae‐immunoglobulin G detected by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay could predict the risk of cerebral infarction.

NICE: 'schools should provide morning-after pill'
Conclusion
Everyone makes mistakes, but if you find yourself relying on the morning-after pill as a regular method of contraception, you may want to speak to a healthcare professional about what would be the most suitable form of ongoing contraception for you to use. This could include methods that do not involve needing to take a daily pill, such as contraceptive patches, injections or an implant.
However, none of these methods will protect you against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Condoms are cheap, free of side effects and they will protect you against STIs such as chlamydia.

CDC National Health Report: Leading Causes of Morbidity and Mortality and Associated Behavioral Risk and Protective Factors-United States, 2005-2013.
This report reviews population health in the United States and provides an assessment of recent progress in meeting high-priority health objectives. The health status indicators described in this report were selected because of their direct relation to the leading causes of death and other substantial sources of morbidity and mortality and should be the focus of prevention efforts.
REPORTING PERIOD COVERED: Data are reported starting in 2005 (or the earliest available year since 2005) through the current data year. Because data sources and specific indicators vary regarding when data are available, the most recent yea...

The Connection Between Inflammation And Cardiovascular Disease
By Mark Johnson, M.S. Senior Director of Surgery
Heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in developed nations. Classically, cardiovascular disease (CVD) was thought to be a buildup of fat on the arterial wall that eventually blocks blood flow, leading to a heart attack or stroke. However, the process also involves inflammatory responses that impact the endothelial cell lining of the arteries. The source of this inflammation includes infectious agents, e.g., herpes viruses and Chlamydia pneumonia, as well as smoking, hyperglycemia, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and sheer stress on ...

A True Hematologic Emergency
BY GREGORY TAYLOR, DO, & JACKLYN MCPARLANE, DOA 33-year-old woman with a past medical history of sickle cell SS presented to the emergency department with chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a cough for two days. Her chest pain was diffuse, without radiation, and partially reproducible. Her cough was nonproductive, and she also reported fever and chills.The patient noted this was different from her normal back and leg pain from past sickle cell crises.

Psychosis Polyrisk Score (PPS) for the Detection of Individuals At-Risk and the Prediction of Their Outcomes
Conclusions
The combination of risk/protective factors encompassing genetic (PRS) and non-genetic information (PPS) holds promise for overcoming the epidemiological weakness of the CHR-P paradigm. The PPS conceptually and empirically developed here will facilitate future research in this field and hopefully advance our ability to detect individuals at-risk for psychosis and forecast their clinical outcomes.
Ethics Statement
This study was supported by the King's College London Confidence in Concept award from the Medical Research Council (MRC) (MC_PC_16048) to PF-P. This study also represents independent researc...
