Data regarding cardiogenic shock (CS) from safety-net hospitals serving socioeconomically-disadvantaged patients are limited. In addition, little is known regarding long-term outcomes and management of heart failure-related CS (HF-CS), a population potentially especially vulnerable to adverse social determinants of health (SDOH). A single-center retrospective cohort study of patients with Stage C, D, or E CS at a public safety-net hospital between 2017 and 2023 was performed.

Shortened egg reappearance periods (ERP) have been seen as an early warning of anthelmintic resistance development in cyathostomins in horses. The hypothesis has been that in these instances, efficacy against egg laying adult cyathostomins remains high, but a decline in activity against later larval stages leads to the earlier resumption of egg shedding after treatment. In this study using a single herd of horses we investigated the ERP of a number of commonly used equine anthelmintics and examined whether ERP might show seasonal variation between winter and summer.

- This study analyzes prognostic factors affecting long-term outcomes and changes in contusion volume in patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) due to hemorrhagic cerebral contusions.
- Key findings indicate that older age, larger initial contusion volumes, and lower Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores are linked to worse functional outcomes post-injury.
- The research suggests that the GCS verbal score could predict both initial contusion volume and potential expansion, highlighting its importance in managing and predicting patient outcomes in neurosurgery.
Purpose: To determine local OCT structural correlates of deep visual sensitivity defects (threshold of ≤10 decibels on microperimetry) in early atrophic age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Design: Prospective observational study.
Participants: Forty eyes from 40 participants, with at least incomplete retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and outer retinal atrophy, or more advanced atrophic lesion(s).
Purpose: To determine the relationship between structural and functional changes over time in the progression of geographic atrophy (GA) as assessed by defect-mapping microperimetry, an approach optimized to characterize the spatial extent of deep visual sensitivity losses.
Methods: A total of 57 eyes from 50 participants underwent defect-mapping microperimetry testing of the central 8° radius (with a 10-dB stimuli presented once each at 208 locations) over a median of five visits, scheduled at 3-monthly intervals. GA lesion(s) on fundus autofluorescence in the corresponding region tested on microperimetry at each visit were manually annotated.
