Article Synopsis
- The Million Person Study (MPS) investigates the health impacts of gradual exposure to ionizing radiation on over one million U.S. radiation workers and veterans, focusing on both cancer and non-cancer conditions.
- Recent efforts have highlighted mortality patterns related to neurological and behavioral disorders, such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, by analyzing claims data from Medicare beneficiaries.
- To manage the extensive and complex dataset, the MPS is developing specialized open-source software (Colossus) to facilitate detailed evaluation of health outcomes and related factors from the collected health information.
Impact of atrial fibrillation on 1-year outcome in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator or cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator: results from the German DEVICE Registry.

March 2024
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a cardiac arrhythmia frequently documented in patients requiring implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and/or cardiac resynchronization therapy with defibrillator (CRT-D). Patients with diagnosed AF at the point of ICD or CRT-D implantation may have an impaired follow-up outcome.
Methods: The German DEVICE I-II registry is a nationwide prospective multicentre database of patients implanted with ICD and CRT-D with clinical follow-up data.
Polymers are promising candidates as solid-state electrolytes due to their performance and processability, but fillers play a critical role in adjusting the polymer network structure and electrochemical, thermal, and mechanical properties. Most fillers studied so far are anisotropic, limiting the possibility of homogeneous ion transport. Here, applying metal-organic framework (MOF) glass as an isotropic functional filler, solid-state polyethylene oxide (PEO) electrolytes are prepared.

Globally, the levels of PA among individuals are below WHO recommendations. A lack of PA can increase morbidity and mortality, worsen the quality of life and increase the economic burden on individuals and society.

The aim of this study was to compare the early assessment and management of adults with suspected community-onset meningitis between hospitals and identify opportunities for clinical practice improvement.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at three principal referral hospitals in Sydney, Australia.
