Digital Health Programs to Reduce Readmissions in Coronary Artery Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: The use of mobile health (mHealth, wireless communication devices, and/or software technologies) in health care delivery has increased rapidly in recent years. Their integration into disease management programs (DMPs) has tremendous potential to improve outcomes for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), yet a more robust evaluation of the evidence is required.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis of mHealth-enabled DMPs to determine their effectiveness in reducing readmissions and mortality in patients with CAD.

Optimising the implementation of digital-supported interventions for the secondary prevention of heart disease: a systematic review using the RE-AIM planning and evaluation framework.

Background: mHealth technologies are now widely utilised to support the delivery of secondary prevention programs in heart disease. Interventions with mHealth included have shown a similar efficacy and safety to conventional programs with improvements in access and adherence. However, questions remain regarding the successful wider implementation of digital-supported programs.

Clinical features and outcomes of diabetic foot in Argentina: a longitudinal multicenter study.

Introduction: The diabetic foot (DF) is a complication with high rate of morbi-mortality. There are no data about amputation rates and mortality in Argentina related to this disease. The aim of this study was to describe clinical features of adult patients with diabetes that consulted for a foot ulcer in a 3 months' period and to evaluate outcomes six months later.

[Diabetic foot attack. Pathophysiological description, clinical presentation, treatment and outcomes].

Diabetic foot attack has an acute and severe presentation that threatens the affected limb and the patient's life. It is a term that arises from the need to identify those patients that require urgent intervention; it conveys a sense of urgency and severity, reminding the term of "time is tissue". The classic presentation is that of a severe infected foot with rapidly progressive necrosis that requires urgent surgery to debride all necrotic tissue and purulent collections, providing an adequate antibiotic treatment.

Isolated Metastasis to the Brain From Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma.

Isolated brain metastasis from cancers of urothelial origin are rare, especially after a long recurrence-free interval with few reports in the literature. We herein present the case of a 62 year old male with history of recurrent bladder cancers treated in 2004 and 2005 and a left distal ureteral high grade pT3aN1M0 urothelial cancer treated with distal ureterectomy and reimplant followed by adjuvant chemotherapy in 2014 who presented after a 5 year recurrence-free interval with tonic-clonic seizure. Further workup revealed an isolated 12.
