Safety of JAK inhibitors: a real-life multicenter retrospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: Our real-life data confirm that JAKi are effective and carry a low risk of AESI, especially in patients that do not display cardiovascular risk factors at baseline. Our study could not identify differences between molecules and different profiles should be defined in larger prospective cohorts.PMID:37527867 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.2023-0145

How to Keep Your Home Cool in Extreme Heat
Global temperatures have reached alarmingly high levels across the U.S., Europe, and Asia as heat waves set record highs this week.
Parts of European countries including most of Italy, eastern Croatia, southern Spain, southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro are under red alert, the European Union’s Emergency Response Coordination Centre said on Wednesday. Meanwhile, as of July 18, Phoenix had experienced 19 consecutive days of 110°F temperatures or higher. And Beijing is also experiencing a record stretch of 95°F heat.
The extreme heat comes as weather phenomenon El Niño, which occurs every tw...

More Europeans Died Because of Heat in 2022 Than Any Year in Recorded History
As the Earth continues to warm, the rising temperatures are contributing to a number of health conditions that are in turn driving up mortality. And for the first time, scientists have figured out a more detailed way to estimate how many deaths can be attributed to heat.
In a paper published in Nature Medicine, researchers in Spain and France calculated that more than 61,000 deaths in Europe could be blamed on the heat during the summer of 2022, the hottest summer on record for the continent. (At least until the readings from 2023 are analyzed later this year.)

Syncope Evaluation: Evidence-Based and Economical
This study eliminated low-risk syncope patients and those with non-syncope transient loss of consciousness, such as seizure and head trauma, using a structured approach in the emergency department (ED), with only high-risk syncope patients being admitted. These high-risk syncope patients made up 28% of the patients included in the study. After admission, a simplified Wells’ pulmonary embolism criteria score was calculated, and a D-dimer was obtained. If either was high, the patient was scanned for PE and 17% were found to be positive, with two-thirds of those being found to have large-vessel pulmonary emboli. The bottom ...

Prescriptive behavior of non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants in patients affected by atrial fibrillation in general practice
Biomed Pharmacother. 2023 Jun 21;165:115020. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115020. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide and in recent years the pharmacological approach has been strongly implemented; in Italy, the prescription of the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOAC) was also extended to General Practitioners (GPs) since 2020. The aim of the present study was to investigate the GPs prescribing behaviour of NOACs. An observational study was performed by using the computerized medical record of 14 GPs in Sicily: patients affected by AF were selected and st...

Estimate of the prevalence of subjects with chronic diseases in a province of Northern Italy: a retrospective study based on administrative databases
Conclusions
Despite the difficulty of having a unique definition of chronic disease, the prevalence obtained was coherent with the estimates reported by other national surveillance systems such as Passi and Passi d’Argento. Underestimates were observed when international comparisons were done; however, when we used less stringent definitions of chronic diseases, similar results were obtained.

Mechanical thrombectomy is cost-effective versus medical management alone around Europe in patients with low ASPECTS
Conclusions
MT is efficient versus MM alone for patients with low ASPECTS in eight countries across Europe. Patients with a large ischemic core could be treated with MT because it is both clinically beneficial and economically sustainable.

Can ‘toxic’ bilirubin treat a variety of illnesses?
Generations of medical and biology students have been instilled with a dim view of bilirubin. Spawned when the body trashes old red blood cells, the molecule is harmful refuse and a sign of illness. High blood levels cause jaundice, which turns the eyes and skin yellow and can signal liver trouble. Newborns can’t process the compound, and although high levels normally subside, a persistent surplus can cause brain damage.
Yet later this year up to 40 healthy Australian volunteers may begin receiving infusions of the supposedly good-for-nothing molecule. They will be participating in a phase 1 safety trial, sponsored ...
