Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of advanced neural network-derived ECG features to predict cardiovascular disease and mortality, aiming to uncover subtle, important indicators that traditional methods might miss.
- Using data from over 1.8 million patients and various international cohorts, researchers identified three distinct phenogroups, with one, phenogroup B, showing a significantly higher mortality risk—20% more than phenogroup A.
- The findings suggest that neural network ECG features not only indicate future health risks like atrial fibrillation and ischemic heart disease but also highlight specific genetic loci that may contribute to these risks.
Background: Exposure to tobacco and alcohol content in audio-visual media is a risk factor for smoking and alcohol use in young people. We report an analysis of tobacco and alcohol content, and estimates of population exposure to this content, in a sample of reality television programmes broadcast in the UK.
Methods: We used 1-minute interval coding to quantify tobacco and alcohol content in all episodes of five reality TV programmes aired between January and August 2018 (Celebrity Big Brother; Made in Chelsea; The Only Way is Essex; Geordie Shore and Love Island), and estimated population exposure using viewing data and UK population estimates.
Two 4-year-old spayed female Siamese cats were seized by the British Columbia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals after confinement to an abandoned housing unit without food for 9 weeks. One cat was found dead, and the second was euthanized within 24 hours due to neurologic deterioration despite therapy. Polioencephalomalacia of the caudal colliculus, hepatic lipidosis, cachexia, and congestive heart failure with cardiomyocyte atrophy were identified in both cats through postmortem examination and attributed to a prolonged period of starvation.
