Article Synopsis
  • * It included 100 patients, finding that 38% experienced POAF, which was associated with increased levels of fibrosis, inflammation, and specific gene expression related to fibrosis in the heart tissue.
  • * The research identified elevated TMAO levels (≥61.8 ng/mL), low preoperative hemoglobin, and impaired right ventricular function as independent risk factors for developing POAF, highlighting the significance of TMAO in cardiac health post-surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study is to assess whether the touch of osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can affect the endogenous production of oxytocin in full-term pregnant women and the assessment of well-being following the treatment.

Patients And Methods: In this study have been enrolled 57 pregnant women at full-term pregnancy (37th-41st week) for evaluation of the concentration of salivary oxytocin 2 minutes before and 2 minutes after a single session of OMT by an osteopath lasting for 30 minutes. Pre-OMT and post-OMT saliva samples were collected with the use of Salivette® salivary swabs.

Aim: To compare the efficacy and safety of saxagliptin/dapagliflozin and insulin glargine in people with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA).

Methods: In this phase 2b multicentre, open-label, comparator-controlled, parallel-group, non-inferiority study, we randomly assigned 33 people with LADA who had a fasting C-peptide concentration ≥0.2 nmol/L (0.

Sepsis causes immune dysregulation and endotheliitis, with an increase in mid-regional pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM). The aim of the study is to determine an MR-proADM value that, in addition to clinical diagnosis, can identify patients with localized infection or those with sepsis/septic shock, with specific organ damage or with the need for intensive care unit (ICU) transfer and prognosis. The secondary aim is to correlate the MR-proADM value with the length of stay (LOS).

Article Synopsis
  • Acute heart failure (AHF) is a significant global health issue leading to hospitalizations, and accurate diagnosis and risk assessment are crucial for better patient outcomes; biomarkers like NT-proBNP and MR-proADM are increasingly being utilized for this purpose.
  • A study comparing levels of NT-proBNP, MR-proADM, and C-reactive protein (CRP) in AHF patients and controls revealed that both NT-proBNP and MR-proADM levels were significantly higher in AHF patients, while CRP did not show a notable difference.
  • The findings indicate that elevated NT-proBNP and MR-proADM levels are strong predictors of mortality and readmission in AHF patients, and using both biomarkers together enhances their predictive value
