Article Synopsis
- Patients in the emergency department with chest pain are evaluated for serious heart issues using the HEART score pathway, which includes various clinical factors and troponin testing; a new approach using high-sensitivity troponin may enhance this process.
- The study aimed to assess health outcomes and resource use in patients using either conventional or high-sensitivity troponin for risk stratification of major cardiac events.
- Results showed that the high-sensitivity troponin method detected more acute myocardial infarctions within 30 days (5.8%) compared to the conventional method (4.4%), indicating its potential for better risk assessment.
Despite widespread availability of life-saving antiretroviral therapy (ART) in sub-Saharan Africa, AIDS remains one of the leading causes of death among adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV) in sub-Saharan Africa. The purpose of this article was to review the state of the science regarding interventions to improve ART adherence and/or HIV care retention among ALHIV throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The primary aim of this review was to describe the impact of peer support interventions in improving treatment outcomes (i.

- There's currently no standardized or evidence-based method for screening social risks and needs in emergency departments (ED), which makes implementation inconsistent and challenging.
- A comprehensive literature review and expert consensus highlighted three main knowledge gaps: the mechanics of screening implementation, outreach to communities, and addressing barriers in the process.
- The consensus found that while screening is generally acceptable to both patients and clinicians, more collaborative efforts and innovative research methods are needed to improve its implementation in ED settings.
Background: Malaria in the first trimester of pregnancy is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) are a highly effective, first-line treatment for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria, except in the first trimester of pregnancy, when quinine with clindamycin is recommended due to concerns about the potential embryotoxicity of artemisinins. We compared adverse pregnancy outcomes after artemisinin-based treatment (ABT) versus non-ABTs in the first trimester of pregnancy.
