Article Synopsis
- Researchers wanted to find out if heart problems can help predict how people with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) will do over time.
- They studied 35 patients with AN and 42 healthy people, looking at their body weight, heart health, and mental health related to eating.
- The results suggested that heart health could indicate future problems, and measuring body composition is important for tracking recovery in those with AN.
Article Synopsis
- - This study assessed if sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2-i) can protect against contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in heart failure patients undergoing procedures using iodinated contrast.
- - Researchers divided participants into those using SGLT2-i and those not, measuring the occurrence of CI-AKI, overall mortality, and the need for renal therapy during hospitalization.
- - Results showed lower CI-AKI rates in SGLT2-i users (9.3%) compared to non-users (27.3%), and the SGLT2-i group had no need for continuous renal replacement therapy, suggesting that SGLT2-i therapy offers a protective benefit in this context. *
Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe disease associated with high morbidity and mortality. Little is known about the best management of elderly patients with IE. In these patients, surgery may be challenging.

We included 902 ED patients and an equal number of sex-, age-, and residence-matched individuals. We fitted conditional Poisson regression models with robust variance estimator to estimate incidence rate ratios (IRR) and 95% confidence intervals.
