Novel Therapies to Reduce Rehospitalization Risk in Worsening Heart Failure: Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis.

Background: Worsening heart failure (WHF) challenges health care with frequent rehospitalizations and reduced quality of life for patients. Despite therapeutic advances, high rehospitalization risks highlight the urgent need for new treatments.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effectiveness of initiating novel therapies during hospitalization or vulnerable phase for WHF patients to reduce rehospitalization risks and determine the optimal treatment sequence.

BRAND: Brand recognition and attitude norms database.

Research involving brands has increased substantially in recent decades. However, no extensive and free dataset of consumer responses to branding stimuli exists. The present research develops and validates such a dataset, which we call the Brand Recognition and Attitude Norms Database (BRAND).

Association of potassium disorders with the mode of death and etiology in patients with chronic heart failure: the INCOR-HF study.

Observational studies suggest a U-shaped association between serum potassium (K⁺) levels and mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, the mode of death in patients with HF and K⁺ disorders remains speculative. To investigate the association between potassium disorders and the mode of death in patients with CHF.

Investigation of Aberrant Basaloid Cells in a Rat Model of Lung Fibrosis.

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive interstitial lung disease (ILD) whose cause and pathogenesis are not yet well understood. Until now, no animal model of lung fibrosis succeeds in recapitulating all IPF features, thus the use of different rodent models is essential for the evaluation and development of new effective pharmacological treatments. Recently, the alveolar epithelial dysfunction has been emphasized in the etiopathogenesis context of IPF.
