Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study on 1252 individuals with psychiatric disorders, retrieving their electronic health records up to December 2019. The study assessed participation rates in breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening programs.
Article Synopsis
- - Metabolomics can help identify high-risk infants undergoing surgery for complex congenital heart disease (CHD), as it provides insights into their metabolic profiles and how genetics and environment influence health outcomes.
- - A systematic review of seven studies, involving 509 infants, showed links between specific metabolites (like amino acids) and adverse outcomes such as mortality and acute kidney injury post-surgery.
- - While the evidence is limited because of varying study designs and small sample sizes, the research suggests metabolomics could be useful for predicting complications in infants undergoing cardiac surgery.
This report presents cases of an unusual appearance of bilateral idiopathic multifocal retinal pigment epithelial detachments (PEDs) in three patients, using multimodal imaging. Three patients with multiple PEDs, initially diagnosed as drusen, were referred for evaluation. They underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examination and multimodal imaging.
