Article Synopsis
- The study explored the link between initial body temperature (BT) and 1-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), particularly comparing ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation ACS (NSTE-ACS).
- A total of 1044 ACS patients were analyzed, revealing that while BT did not predict MACE for STEMI, a U-shaped relationship was found in NSTE-ACS, indicating higher MACE risk for patients with BT above 36.8°C.
- The study suggests that BT could be a useful, low-cost indicator of inflammation and risk for recurrent ischemic events
Background And Aims: Dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3) is a protease involved in the degradation of angiotensin II which disturbs peripheral blood pressure regulation and compromises left ventricular function. This study examined the relationship of circulating DPP3 (cDPP3) with cardiogenic shock (CS) and mortality in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS).
Methods: Plasma cDPP3 levels were assessed at baseline and 12-24 h after presentation in patients with ACS prospectively enrolled into the multi-centre SPUM-ACS study (n = 4787).
Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a big problem in Europe, especially with certain germs like E. coli that are hard to treat.
- The study looked at whether people with kidney or stem cell transplants should be treated with antibiotics for an infection called asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB).
- The results showed that using antibiotics didn’t help prevent infections after kidney transplants and could lead to more germs becoming resistant, so more research is needed.
