Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) is a significant health issue globally, prompting research into simple prognostic factors like anion gap (AG) to better understand patient outcomes.
- Nine studies were analyzed in this review, revealing that non-survivors of HF had higher AG levels compared to survivors, suggesting a strong correlation between AG and mortality risk.
- The findings indicate that higher AG is linked to increased mortality in HF patients, which could facilitate risk assessment and management in clinical practice due to its straightforward measurement.
Article Synopsis
- HTLV-1 is linked to serious health issues like Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma and HAM/TSP; thus, screening potential organ donors for the virus is vital due to high transmission risks, particularly in kidney transplant recipients.
- A study at the Iranian Tissue Bank from 2014 to 2021 found that 3% of 3,814 potential organ/tissue donors tested positive for HTLV-1, with rates significantly dropping from 6% to 0.5% over the years.
- Females showed a higher positivity rate (4%) than males (2%), and donors with brain death had a much lower infection rate (0.2%) compared to those with circulatory death (4%).
The world is changing rapidly, mainly due to the impact of megatrends that have an impact on the entire human life, particularly in medical sciences. Medical research methodologies such as cohort studies provide very critical information, but it is not clear what would be its destination in the future. In this short article, we have tried to offer a somewhat different perspective on the future of cohort studies by analyzing the texts and their conclusions from the author's viewpoint.

This study introduces deep-red and near-infrared compact cyanine dyes represented by probes and for mitochondrial NAD(P)H detection in live cells. Probes and feature a unique structural design with a double bond connection linking 3-quinolinium to strategically positioned 1-methylquinolinium acceptor units at 2- and 4-positions, correspondingly.

Purposefully, this approach produced various bioactive scaffolds using environmentally friendly, mild, and simple conditions. Due to their bioactive moieties, these compounds with exclusive fluorescence properties may attract great attention in biomedical applications, clinical diagnostics, and conjugate materials.
