Background: Cardiac power (CP) integrates echocardiographic and clinical parameters of hemodynamics, yet its prognostic value within the general population remains unexplored. This study investigated the association between CP and incident heart failure (HF) and cardiovascular (CV) death in the general population.

Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we measured CP in a total of 4022 individuals from the general population without prior HF.

Background: Despite evidence demonstrating that influenza vaccination is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM), vaccine uptake remains suboptimal.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of electronically delivered nudges on influenza vaccine uptake according to the presence of DM status versus other chronic diseases.

Methods: NUDGE-FLU-CHRONIC was a nationwide, randomized, pragmatic implementation trial among younger and middle-aged (18-64 years) Danish citizens with chronic disease during the 2023/2024 influenza season.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on the significance of influenza vaccination in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and evaluates methods to enhance vaccine uptake among this high-risk group.
  • The research consists of three nationwide randomized clinical trials conducted in Denmark that tested the effectiveness of electronically delivered behavioral nudges against usual care in increasing vaccination rates among AMI patients.
  • The primary outcome measured was the rate of influenza vaccinations received, with findings suggesting that these behavioral nudges could potentially improve vaccination uptake in the targeted population.

The distinctive physiology of striatal medium spiny neurons (MSNs) underlies their ability to integrate sensory and motor input. In rodents, MSNs have a hyperpolarized resting potential and low input resistance. When activated, they have a delayed onset of spiking and regular spike rate.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in older adults. Although AD progression is characterized by stereotyped accumulation of proteinopathies, the affected cellular populations remain understudied. Here we use multiomics, spatial genomics and reference atlases from the BRAIN Initiative to study middle temporal gyrus cell types in 84 donors with varying AD pathologies.
