: Heart failure is associated with high morbidity and mortality and linked with several pre-existing health conditions and risk factors. Early detection and prompt management in heart failure improves patient outcomes. Liver involvement is associated with heart failure disease progression, and hence liver biomarkers and liver fibrosis may have a prognostic impact.

- Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a serious health issue that leads to significant patient risk and requires considerable healthcare resources, prompting a study on non-variceal bleeding severity related to certain medications.
- The research analyzed 296 patients with UGIB at a hospital in Timisoara, categorizing them based on their use of drugs like NSAIDs, anticoagulants, and antiplatelet therapies, using statistical methods to assess the differences among groups.
- Results indicated that patients taking NOACs experienced more severe bleeding and worse blood parameters than those on vitamin K antagonists (VKAs), contradicting existing studies and highlighting the potential iatrogenic risks associated with these medications.
Article Synopsis
- Myocardial infarction is the leading cause of death globally, and its presence alongside cancer significantly raises mortality risk; bleeding complications often trigger the search for hidden cancers in such cases.
- A case involving an 81-year-old male with an acute myocardial infarction revealed two malignant tumors after he developed hemorrhagic complications post-stenting, though he had a favorable recovery.
- It's crucial to investigate potential neoplastic causes of bleeding complications in myocardial infarction patients, particularly focusing on digestive cancers while also considering other sources.
Optimizing the chemical composition of phosphorus cast iron for the manufacture of brake shoes, which are used in the rolling stock, is based on specific tests, and the results must be within the specified limits of railway standards. This paper presents the processing of data taken from an economic agent producing brake shoes-with chemical composition and hardness values determined through the Brinell method-as well as optimizing these data by obtaining optimal variation intervals. These technological intervals are useful in the case of foundries in order to obtain superior products from a qualitative point of view.

Objective: Microscopic colitis (MC) has been of major concern worldwide due to its relapsing and remitting nature of chronic diarrhea. Quality of life of patients suffering from this disease is quite debilitating.
Patients And Methods: In order to understand the role and importance of fecal calprotectin (FC) we performed a statistical analysis on the patients suffering from chronic diarrhea and admitted to our hospital from 2014 to 2020, and who were prescribed Loperamide (Imodium) or Budesonide or a combination of both and had undergone FC detection test.
