Prediction of cardiac worsening through to cardiogenic shock in patients with acute heart failure
ConclusionsHalf of patients admitted with AHF experience WHF or new-onset CS. Chronic kidney disease, tricuspid valve regurgitation, and elevated pro-adrenomedullin concentrations predict these events. They could potentially serve as early warning signs for further deterioration in AHF patients. (Source: ESC Heart Failure)

Identification of Early Warning Signals of Infectious Diseases in Hospitals by Integrating Clinical Treatment and Disease Prevention
AbstractThe global incidence of infectious diseases has increased in recent years, posing a significant threat to human health. Hospitals typically serve as frontline institutions for detecting infectious diseases. However, accurately identifying warning signals of infectious diseases in a timely manner, especially emerging infectious diseases, can be challenging. Consequently, there is a pressing need to integrate treatment and disease prevention data to conduct comprehensive analyses aimed at preventing and controlling infectious diseases within hospitals. This paper examines the role of medical data in the early identif...

Striking Amazonian butterfly is result of ancient hybrid event
When separate species mate, it’s often an evolutionary dead end. Even if breeding succeeds, it can lead to infertile offspring, such as mules, or to the two species gradually merging into one as they interbreed over generations.
An Amazonian butterfly species represents a rare third scenario. In a study out today in
Nature
, researchers report that
Heliconius elevatus
—a red, black, and yellow butterfly found throughout the Amazon—is a genetically unique, reproductively healthy insect that
resulted from an ancient pairing of two other, still-present butterfly species
. The work con...

New initiative aims to bolster funding for scientists in war-torn Ukraine
WASHINGTON, D.C.—
For astrophysicist David Spergel, teaching at a summer school about data science in August 2023 in Ukraine was a “surreal” experience. At times, utterly normal—smart students and collegial dinners in the charming cobblestoned city of Lviv. But punctuated by sirens and cellphone alerts warning of Russian missile attacks that compelled attendees to seek refuge in bomb shelters. Spergel, president of
the Simons Foundation
, started to think there had to be something more the West could do to aid his Ukrainian colleagues.
Eight months later, that idea has blossomed into the Scienc...

Translation into French and republication of: "Home treatment for patients with cancer-associated venous thromboembolism"
Rev Med Interne. 2024 Apr 16:S0248-8663(24)00096-1. doi: 10.1016/j.revmed.2024.04.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPatients hospitalised with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE), and notably patients with pulmonary embolism, often remain in hospital for extended periods due to the perceived risk of complications. However, several studies have shown that home treatment of selected patients is feasible and safe, with a low incidence of adverse events. This may offer clear benefits for patients' quality of life, hospital planning and cost to the health service. Nonetheless, there is a need for a VTE risk-stratification tool ...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 489: Early Detection and Monitoring of Gastrointestinal Infections Using Syndromic Surveillance: A Systematic Review
x J. Elliot
The underreporting of laboratory-reported cases of community-based gastrointestinal (GI) infections poses a challenge for epidemiologists understanding the burden and seasonal patterns of GI pathogens. Syndromic surveillance has the potential to overcome the limitations of laboratory reporting through real-time data and more representative population coverage. This systematic review summarizes the utility of syndromic surveillance for early detection and surveillance of GI infections. Relevant articles were identified using the following keyword combinations: ‘early warning’, &am...

Ruxolitinib Cream 1.5%: A Review in Non-Segmental Vitiligo
AbstractTopical ruxolitinib 1.5% cream (Opzelura®), a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor, is the first treatment to be approved in several countries for use in patients aged ≥ 12 years with non-segmental vitiligo. In the identical phase III TRuE-V1 and TRuE-V2 trials, significantly more ruxolitinib cream recipients were able to achieve statistically significant and clinically meaningful facial and total body repigmentation, as well as reductions in vitiligo noticea bility, compared with vehicle recipients. Efficacy was sustained in longer-term analyses to week 104 of treatment. Ruxolitinib 1.5% cream was generally tolerabl...

The chest X-ray score baseline in predicting continuous oxygen therapy failure in low-risk aged patients after thoracic surgery
CONCLUSIONS: The RALE score predict the risk of COT failure in elderly, low-risk thoracic patients better than the Brixia score. This simple, cheap, and noninvasive method helps evaluate postoperative lung damage, monitor treatment response, and provide early warning for oxygen therapy escalation. Further studies are required to confirm the validity and applicability of this model in different settings and populations.PMID:38617782 | PMC:PMC11009605 | DOI:10.21037/jtd-23-1786 (Source: Journal of Thoracic Disease)
