TL;DR: Stroke-related hospitalization and health care expenditure are increasing in the United States, particularly among young and midlife adults, and a higher cost of stay counterbalances the benefits of reducing stroke and mortality in older patients.
TL;DR: Treatment of COVID-19 patients with CQ or HCQ is associated with a significant risk of drug-induced QT prolongation and relatively higher incidence of TdP/VT/cardiac arrest, and these agents should not be used routinely in the management of CO VID-19 disease.
TL;DR: There are numerous FCOI among authors of CPGs, many of which are undisclosed, and a significant difference inFCOI prevalence based on types of FCOi and CPG sponsor society is found.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed mortality rates for cancer and cardiovascular disease by calculating age-standardized mortality rates (ASRs) from 2000 to 2015 for high-income, upper-middle income, and lower-middle-income countries.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the survival benefit of tofacitinib in addition to dexamethasone in hospitalized patients treated for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related pneumonia.
TL;DR: The support system P3-EX has proven to be an easy-to-use, guided, and time-efficient evidence-based approach to ExRx for patients with multiple CVD risk factors that has applicability to other chronic diseases and health conditions.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantify the association between accelerometer-assessed physical activity and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outcomes and find that a greater proportion of vigorous activity was associated with lower odds of severe and nonsevere infections.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the magnitude of the association between risk factors and premature myocardial infarction (MI) (men aged 18-55 years; women aged 18 to 65 years).
TL;DR: Surprisingly, greater workload and lack of opportunity for professional growth were not associated with retention and the CRCs who feel respected and engaged by the PI and are adequately compensated are more likely to have higher job satisfaction and retention.
TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative study with focus groups was designed to assess underrepresented undergraduate and post-baccalaureate learners' perceptions of the medical field, barriers that might prevent individuals from pursuing professional medical careers, and resources that assist in overcoming these barriers.
TL;DR: Voice analysis is associated with SARS-CoV-2 status and holds the potential to improve the accuracy of self-reported symptom-based screening tools, according to a pilot study suggesting a possible role for vocal biomarkers in screening for Sars-CoVs infected subjects.
TL;DR: It is suggested that existing clinical pathways that rely on single or dominant providers might be insufficient for a large proportion of older adults with KOA, and development of integrated KOA-comorbidity care pathways that are responsive to emerging priorities for personalized, value-based health care.
TL;DR: A collaborative robot system could perform health care worker effector tasks inside a simulated intensive care unit (ICU) patient room, which could theoretically reduce both PPE use and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) exposures.
TL;DR: The key to harnessing the potential of digital surveillance tools to promote patient-centered care during COVID-19 pandemic was to use the registry data, reports and dashboards as informatics tools to inform decision-making.
TL;DR: CA is associated with increased post–acute care use, whereas CS is associatedWith increased readmission risk in AMI survivors, and there were no differences for emergency department visits.
TL;DR: Older patients, LTCF residents, and patients with high qSOFA scores were found to have worse clinical outcomes and increased risk of death in this single-center retrospective cohort study in Cook County, Illinois.
TL;DR: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on OB/GYN providers is assessed in this article, where the authors report that the pandemic had a negative professional impact on their relationships with patients and colleagues.
TL;DR: While inflammatory biomarker levels normalized after 3 months, signs of lung damage persist for a longer period, and support the need for implementing post-CO VID-19 outpatient clinics to closely follow-up COVID-19 patients after hospitalization.
TL;DR: A marked contemporary shift in the drivers of all-cause mortality among patients undergoing cardiac stress tests among patients referred for radionuclide stress testing is suggested, away from such factors as typical angina and inducible myocardial ischemia, which are declining in prevalence, and toward such factor as diabetes and an inability to perform exercise, which is increasing in prevalence.
TL;DR: Hyperkalemia was associated with significant risks for mortality and adverse clinical outcomes, with more rapid decline of renal function, and the significance of hyperkalemic as a predisposition to future adverse events in patients with chronic kidney disease is underscore.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a geospatial and temporal trend analysis for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a Midwest community to identify and characterize hot spots for COVID-2019.
TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence rate of abnormal ECG findings and symptoms following COVID-19 infection was quantified to quantify the occurrence of abnormal EKG and symptoms in adults who were participating in collegiate athletics.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the data on naltrexone initiation in the emergency department or inpatient setting for the management of alcohol use disorder (AUD) in the United States.
TL;DR: This article provides an overview of the two largest prospective trials performed with the FDA-approved valve systems and no clear benefit of one over the other is found.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the trends in incident premature myocardial infarction (MI) and prevalence of cardiac risk factors in a population-based cohort and found that the risk factor profile of persons presenting with MI worsened over time, especially in men.
TL;DR: In the current pandemic, diagnosis of EVALI may be delayed because of anchoring bias when patients present with symptoms consistent with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as mentioned in this paper.
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) cases reported during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and performed clustering and feature importance analysis and statistical testing for independence on the demographic, clinical and imaging parameters.
TL;DR: Painful subacute thyroiditis demonstrates specific sonographic patterns that may be misdiagnosed as suspicious thyroid nodular disease and recognition of the innocent and transient nature of these findings is important for the proper management and monitoring of these patients.
