Timeliness of Care for High Acuity Conditions at Hospital-Affiliated Freestanding Emergency Departments.
CONCLUSIONS: FREDs provided more timely care than HEDs for visits with asthma exacerbation and less timely care for acute chest pain, stroke, and sepsis, although absolute differences were small. Even though STEMI patients at FREDs required transfer for catheterization, they tended to receive care in line with national guidelines. PMID: 32352204 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Controversial cardiovascular and hematologic comorbidities in atopic dermatitis
AbstractAtopic dermatitis ’ (AD) systemic involvement is wide-reaching. The cardiovascular and hematological comorbidities of AD have potential for considerable economic and physical burden; however, data surrounding the association between these comorbidities and AD is controversial. This review discusses the cardiovascul ar and hematological comorbidities of AD, detailing the conflicting evidence, pathophysiology, and connection to medications. A PubMed search was conducted for studies detailing the association of cardiovascular and hematological comorbidities with AD, providing approximately 30 results. Additional sea...

The Use of Corticosteroids for Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Adults
AbstractPurpose of ReviewCardiopulmonary bypass for on-pump cardiac surgery induces a systemic inflammation that may contribute to postoperative major complications. To reduce this inflammatory response in patients undergoing heart surgery, the perioperative use of anti-inflammatory corticosteroids has long been recommended to improve clinical outcomes. However, the efficacy and safety of steroids remain still unclear.Recent FindingsWe reviewed recent published literature, including the large clinical trials DECS and SIRS and the two meta-analysis by Dvirnik et al. (2018) and Ng et al. (2020), on mortality and major postop...

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have impaired long-term outcomes after myocardial infarction: a nationwide case-control registry study
ConclusionRA is independently associated with poorer prognosis after MI. RA duration and corticosteroid usage and dosage were independent predictors of mortality after MI in RA. Special attention is needed for improvement of outcomes after MI in this vulnerable population.

What to Know About High Triglycerides
Discussions about heart health often center around blood pressure and cholesterol, with factors like poor sleep, smoking, family history of heart disease, and chronic stress thrown in. However, there’s one variable that doesn’t get covered as often, even though it can be an important indicator of cardiovascular risk: triglycerides. “We don’t really talk about triglycerides very much, especially compared to cholesterol, but they’re actually an essential part of understanding heart health,” says Dr. Adriana Quinones-Camacho, a cardiologist at NYU Langone Health in New York. “For some...

Complete resolution of a solitary pontine abscess in a patient with dental caries
A solitary brainstem abscess is a rare fatal intracranial infection, which can be mistaken for an acute stroke complicated with a systemic infection. Dental caries without abscess formation can be a possible source of infection. Herein, we describe the case of a 59-year-old man with dental caries who presented with a 4-day history of progressive dizziness, double vision, gait ataxia, emesis, and left facial and body numbness. Fever, suboccipital headache, and difficulties in urinating and defecating were noted on admission. Acute brainstem infarction and suspected aspiration pneumonia were then diagnosed. Magnetic resonanc...

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Abstract The global prevalence of physiologically defined chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in adults aged >40 yr is approximately 9-10 per cent. Recently, the Indian Study on Epidemiology of Asthma, Respiratory Symptoms and Chronic Bronchitis in Adults had shown that the overall prevalence of chronic bronchitis in adults >35 yr is 3.49 per cent. The development of COPD is multifactorial and the risk factors of COPD include genetic and environmental factors. Pathological changes in COPD are observed in central airways, small airways and alveolar space. The proposed pathogenesis of COPD includes pr...

Mortality of bullous pemphigoid in Singapore: risk factors and causes of death in 359 patients seen at the National Skin Centre
ConclusionThis study confirmed an increased 3‐year mortality rate for BP patients in Singapore. Risk factors for increased mortality include medical co‐morbidities, especially neurological, cardiac and renal diseases. Treatment with combination therapy, including the use of low to moderate dose corticosteroid, appeared to decrease mortality risk in BP patients.This article is protected by copyright.
