The Chilean Society of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery (SOCHICAR) is a scientific society whose mission is to improve the nation's cardiovascular health. Its primary goals include discussing issues affecting the specialty and engaging in various activities that support its advancement. To achieve these goals, numerous educational initiatives are undertaken for health professionals, including physicians in cardiology training programs.

- * Researchers confirmed that the O1 isolates from these cases belonged to the seventh pandemic El Tor lineage (7PET) and identified virulence characteristics, antimicrobial resistance, and phylogenetic relationships among the strains.
- * The study found that 46 of 49 high-quality genomes belonged to the 7PET lineage, with a dominant subgroup likely contributing to the rise in cholera cases; it emphasized the need for whole genome sequencing in high-income countries to track the evolution of strains and antimicrobial resistance.
Article Synopsis
- One in four children with cerebral palsy (CP) will have orthopedic surgery, but effective pain management post-surgery is not well researched, which can lead to worse outcomes.
- This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a multimodal surgical site injection combining ropivacaine, epinephrine, and ketorolac for pain control after hip dysplasia surgery in CP patients.
- A randomized, double-blind trial with 34 participants showed that those receiving the experimental injection needed significantly less narcotics than those who received a placebo, indicating better pain management.
In June 2023, UKHSA surveillance systems detected an outbreak of severe gastrointestinal symptoms caused by a rare serotype of Shiga toxin-producing , STEC O183:H18. There were 26 cases aged 6 months to 74 years (42 % cases were aged 0-9 years), distributed across the UK with onset dates range between 22 May 2023 and 4 July 2023. The epidemiological and food chain investigations were inconclusive, although meat products made from beef mince were implicated as a potential vehicle.

- * In a retrospective analysis of 47,784 UK isolates from 2016 to 2021, researchers found 226 positive isolates across 25 serovars, revealing that phage-plasmid elements are more prevalent than initially realized, with a strong serovar preference, particularly in Typhimurium ST34 and ST19.
- * The study shows considerable diversity in the
