Background: Assessment of the athlete's heart is challenging because of a phenotypic overlap between reactive physiological adaptation and pathological remodelling. The potential value of myocardial deformation remains controversial in identifying early cardiomyopathy.

Aim: To identify the echocardiographic phenotype of athletes using advanced two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging, and to define predictive factors of subtle left ventricular systolic dysfunction.

The human gut microbiota is of increasing interest, with metagenomics a key tool for analyzing bacterial diversity and functionality in health and disease. Despite increasing efforts to expand microbial gene catalogs and an increasing number of metagenome-assembled genomes, there have been few pan-metagenomic association studies and in-depth functional analyses across different geographies and diseases. Here, we explored 6014 human gut metagenome samples across 19 countries and 23 diseases by performing compositional, functional cluster, and integrative analyses.

Article Synopsis
  • About 5% of Wilms tumors involve vascular extension, requiring a complex surgical approach that influences management but not prognosis.
  • A study of 69 pediatric patients with Wilms tumors revealed significant findings, including a 37.5% rate of right atrial extension and complications like pulmonary embolism.
  • Despite challenges, the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy led to a high overall survival rate of 89%, though postoperative renal insufficiency was identified as a risk factor for reduced survival.
