Article Synopsis
  • A 19-year-old Asian female developed severe cardiomyopathy linked to human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) infection, presenting with chest pain and diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
  • After admission, she experienced heart failure, significantly reduced myocardial contractility, and a low left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 20%.
  • The case highlights the need to consider broad differential diagnoses like Takotsubo syndrome in young patients with acute heart failure, as well as the potential negative impact of inotropic support on outcomes in such cases.

Background: Poor memory for treatment is associated with poorer treatment adherence and poorer patient outcomes. The memory support intervention (MSI) was developed to improve patient memory for treatment with the goal of improving patient outcomes. The aim of this study protocol is to conduct a confirmatory efficacy trial to test whether a new, streamlined, and potent version of the MSI improves outcomes for midlife and older adults.

Background: A clinical tool to estimate the risk of treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) in people with first-episode psychosis (FEP) would inform early detection of TRS and overcome the delay of up to 5 years in starting TRS medication.

Aims: To develop and evaluate a model that could predict the risk of TRS in routine clinical practice.

Method: We used data from two UK-based FEP cohorts (GAP and AESOP-10) to develop and internally validate a prognostic model that supports identification of patients at high-risk of TRS soon after FEP diagnosis.

Eight fossil tetrapod footprints from lake-shore deposits in the Lower Jurassic Moenave Formation at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site (SGDS) in southwestern Utah cannot be assigned to the prevalent dinosaurian (, , , , ) or crocodyliform () ichnotaxa at the site. The tridactyl and tetradactyl footprints are incomplete, consisting of digit- and digit-tip-only imprints.

Introduction And Objectives: There is an unmet need to develop high-quality evidence addressing tuberculosis (TB)-related mental health comorbidity, particularly in the context of lower-middle-income countries. This study aims to examine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) versus enhanced treatment as usual (ETAU) in improving depressive symptoms in people with TB and comorbid depression, enhancing adherence with anti-TB treatment (ATT) and its implementation in the real-world setting of Pakistan.

Methods: We will conduct a pragmatic parallel arm randomised control trial with an internal pilot.
