Article Synopsis
- Late-onset psychosis (LOP) is a complex and poorly understood condition that could stem from late-onset schizophrenia or Alzheimer's disease, making accurate diagnosis crucial for effective treatment.
- * This study used structural MRI data from 699 healthy individuals and 469 patients with schizophrenia or Alzheimer's to employ data-driven techniques, specifically K-means clustering, to differentiate between these conditions.
- * Findings indicated that structural differences, such as larger right putamen volumes in schizophrenia patients, could help in distinguishing between AD and SCZ, highlighting the need for better diagnostic tools for LOP.
Objective: The study investigates the prognostic impact of dyskalemias in patients hospitalized with heart failure with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF).
Background: Although dyskalemias represent a common complication in patients with heart failure (HF) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), data concerning the prevalence and prognostic impact of dyskalemias in HFmrEF is limited.
Methods: Consecutive patients with HFmrEF were retrospectively included at one institution from 2016 to 2022.
The occurrence of pruritus in psoriasis was previously underestimated but is a significant burden. Secukinumab (SEC), a monoclonal anti-interleukin-17A antibody, efficiently controls signs of psoriasis, but the effect on pruritus and cutaneous neuroanatomy remained unknown. The primary objective of this study (NCT02362789) was to evaluate the superiority of SEC treatment vs placebo on pruritus intensity (visual analogue scale; VAS).

We report a case of a 31-week dichorionic diamniotic twin born emergently to a mother with anti-C and anti-D antibodies who required multiple percutaneous umbilical cord blood sampling (PUBS) and transfusions.

- The study investigates the use of degradable starch microspheres (DSMs) in uterine artery embolization (UAE) for treating fibroids, aiming to avoid severe side effects linked to nondegradable particles.
- Eight nonpregnant sheep were anesthetized and underwent UAE with DSMs, followed by angiographic evaluations on days 1, 3, and 7 to track recanalization and assess uterine damage.
- Results showed successful embolization with noticeable recanalization in most arteries and evidence of uterine necrosis, suggesting that DSMs effectively induce ischemic changes while allowing for later artery reopening.
