Article Synopsis
- Venetoclax is a potential treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who can't use anthracycline-based therapies, but it has been linked to heart problems in animal studies.
- A study assessed cardiovascular events in AML patients treated with either venetoclax or anthracyclines, finding that MACE occurred in 17% of the venetoclax group and 12% in the anthracycline group, indicating no significant difference in heart issues between the two treatments.
- The research suggests that patients on venetoclax should have close cardiovascular monitoring, especially early in treatment, due to its potential risks.
Article Synopsis
- Parents in pediatric intensive care units have different communication experiences with healthcare professionals, and it's important to understand factors that contribute to miscommunication.
- A survey of 200 parents revealed that a significant portion reported experiencing miscommunication, with factors such as parental stress and trust in physicians impacting these perceptions.
- The study highlights the need for more research on miscommunication factors to improve support for children and their families during hospital stays.
