Development and validation of a comprehensive model to predict complications after hepatectomy
CONCLUSIONS: We developed an accurate and practical scoring system based on preoperative and early postoperative data to predict poor outcomes after hepatectomy. Further external validation on larger series could lead to the integration of such a tool in the routine clinical practice to support patients' management and early warning during ICU stay.GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT: https://www.europeanreview.org/wp/wp-content/uploads/Graphical-Abstract-NEW-2.pdf.PMID:38567611 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202403_35758 (Source: European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences)

Post-marketing safety concerns with palbociclib: a disproportionality analysis of the FDA adverse event reporting system
CONCLUSIONS: The study identified potential Palbociclib-related AEs and offered warnings for special AEs, providing further data for palbociclib safety studies in breast cancer patients.

Utah flouts FDA with law greenlighting placental stem cell therapies
The state of Utah is challenging the authority of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with a new, unusually bold law that allows patients to receive unapproved placental stem cell “therapies.” Observers predict that the law, which takes effect on 1 May, could significantly undermine FDA’s authority to regulate drugs and other treatments.
The
new statute
, passed almost unanimously by both houses of the Utah legislature in February and signed by Governor Spencer Cox (R) last month, declares that Utah health care providers “may perform a [placental] stem cell therapy that is not approved by [F...

Classifying safe following distance for motorcycles to prevent rear-end collisions
This study aims to classify motorcycle (MC) following distance based on trajectory traffic data and identify the risks associated with MC following distances to prevent rear-end collisions. A total of 8,223 events of a MC following a vehicle were investigated in Pathum Thani, Thailand, and 41 cases of MC rear-end crashes were analyzed between 2017 and 2021. Time headway (TH), safe stopping distance (SSD) and time to collision (TTC) were applied to the proposed concept to determine safe following distance (SFD). Speed and following distance for actual rear-end crashes were applied to validate SFD. Results showed that the pr...

Beachgoers' responses to beach health advisories
J Water Health. 2024 Mar;22(3):565-571. doi: 10.2166/wh.2024.306. Epub 2024 Feb 14.ABSTRACTDrawing on responses from 238 beachgoers who have visited a Georgia (U.S. state) beach in the past three years, this study asks respondents about their knowledge of beach water quality monitoring, awareness of beach health advisories, perception of water quality, and expected responses upon learning of a beach's water pollution advisory. Binomial logistic regression finds that the only demographic predictor of respondents who would completely stop visiting a beach with an advisory is whether the respondent is a visitor or resident (y...
