Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of compression ultrasound (CUS) for diagnosing venous thromboembolism (VTE), particularly pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), in hospitalized patients presenting with respiratory issues.
- Out of 263 patients, CUS identified DVT in 31 individuals, and a follow-up CT scan confirmed PE in 9 of them, revealing flaws in the Wells score's ability to accurately predict VTE risk.
- The research suggests that routinely using CUS could enhance diagnostic accuracy for VTE in patients with dyspnea or respiratory failure admitted to internal medicine.
Unlabelled: Sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) are major contributors of free sugars to the diet. A strong relationship between SSB intake and weight gain is described.
Methods: we performed a narrative review to present an overview of the role of SSBs as a pivotal contributor in the development of obesity and metabolism-related complications.
