- People with essential thrombocythemia (ET) usually take low-dose aspirin once a day to avoid blood clots, but this isn't always effective because their platelet levels change quickly.
- A study tested if taking aspirin twice a day would work better and found that it did help lower certain blood markers and symptoms over 20 months.
- The results showed that twice-daily aspirin caused fewer major blood clots, didn't lead to significant bleeding problems, and made patients feel better overall compared to taking it once a day.
This study investigated the impact of micropollutants on fish health from Segredo hydroelectric reservoir (HRS) along the Iguaçu River, Southern Brazil, contaminated by urban, industrial, and agricultural activities. This is the first comprehensive study assessment in the river after the severe drought in the 2020s in three fish species from different trophic levels Astyanax spp. (water column depth/omnivorous), Hypostomus commersoni (demersal/herbivorous), and Pimelodus maculatus (demersal/omnivorous).

Background: Erythrocytosis is a relatively common condition; however, a large proportion of these patients (70%) remain without a clear etiologic explanation.
Methods: We set up a targeted NGS panel for patients with erythrocytosis, and 118 sporadic patients with idiopathic erythrocytosis were studied.
Results: In 40 (34%) patients, no variant was found, while in 78 (66%), we identified at least one germinal variant; 55 patients (70.
