Purpose: Patients with Cushing's syndrome (CS) have an increased venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk with most studies focusing on the perioperative period. The purpose of this study was to assess the 5-year VTE risk and identify predictors of VTE at CS diagnosis.
Methods: A comparative nationwide retrospective cohort study of 609 patients (mean age 48.
Objectives: This study focused on the negative affect of informal caregivers of older adults. In a novel investigation, the interplay of aging anxiety, caregiving burden, and resilience as a protective factor was examined, suggesting that aging anxiety and caregiving burden are mediators for the link between resilience and negative affect.
Methods: In a cross-sectional design, 191 Israeli informal caregivers of older adults (65+) participated in the study.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the rehabilitation outcomes of older patients with hip fractures during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, when social isolation from family and caregivers was enforced.
- It compares a group of 36 isolated patients to a control group of 106 patients from the same time period in previous years, focusing on various rehabilitation metrics like functional independence.
- Results indicated that social isolation did not negatively impact the rehabilitation outcomes, suggesting that older patients can still recover effectively despite lacking family support during rehabilitation.

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute metabolic complication characterized by hyperglycaemia, ketones in blood or urine, and acidosis.
Objective: The aim of this study was to characterize features of patients hospitalized for DKA, to identify triggers for DKA and to evaluate the long-term effects of DKA on glycaemic control, complications of diabetes, re-hospitalizations, and mortality.
Methods: Historical prospectively collected data of patients hospitalized to medical wards for DKA between 2011 and 2017.
