Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the performance and establish the upper reference limit for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) using the MAGLUMI CLIA method in healthy populations.
- Two groups of healthy adults were analyzed: one with younger adults (average age 43) and another with older adults (average age 78), focusing on blood donation volunteers.
- Results showed that hs-cTnI levels were significantly higher in men than women, especially after age 55, confirming that the MAGLUMI CLIA method meets international diagnostic criteria for cardiac assessments.
As virality has become increasingly central in shaping information sources' strategies, it raises concerns about its consequences for society, particularly when referring to the impact of viral news on the public discourse. Nonetheless, there has been little consideration of whether these viral events genuinely boost the attention received by the source. To address this gap, we analyze content timelines from over 1000 European news outlets from 2018 to 2023 on Facebook and YouTube, employing a Bayesian structural time series model to evaluate the impact of viral posts.

In this paper, we propose a Bayesian mixed membership model for functional data. By using the multivariate Karhunen-Loève theorem, we are able to derive a scalable representation of Gaussian processes that maintains data-driven learning of the covariance structure.

Article Synopsis
- - This study explores how digital platforms affect user behavior in terms of polarization, misinformation, and news consumption by analyzing 34 years' worth of online comments.
- - Researchers examined about 300 million comments from eight different platforms to assess the complexity and changes in language use over time.
- - Findings indicate a general trend of shorter, less rich comments across platforms, while users still introduce new vocabulary consistently, suggesting changes in language are more due to social influences than just platform effects.
Allergic contact dermatitis to chlorhexidine in children.
Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)
November 2024
Background: Hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine is rare in children. The usefulness of different diagnostic tests for allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is unknown.
Objective: We aim to describe a case series of children with hypersensitivity to chlorhexidine and to compare the results of different diagnostic tests.
