- Hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) are major global causes of liver disease, leading to liver fibrosis, but there’s limited understanding about how well different diagnostic tools like APRI and FIB-4 compare to fibroscan in diagnosing this condition.
- The study assessed liver damage in 185 patients (82 with HBV and 103 with HCV) using APRI, FIB-4, and fibroscan, finding that while APRI and FIB-4 indicators were effective for predicting cirrhosis, they were less reliable for lower-grade fibrosis.
- Results indicated that fibroscan is superior to both APRI and FIB-4 in predicting liver
Background: Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 can clinically deteriorate after a period of initial stability, making optimal timing of discharge a clinical and operational challenge.
Objective: To determine risks for post-discharge readmission and death among patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
Design: Multicenter retrospective observational cohort study, 2020-2021, with 30-day follow-up.
Background: Sleep has confirmed physical, psychological, and behavioral benefits, and disruptions can result in disturbances in these states. Moreover, it can be linked bidirectionally with susceptibility to and the subsequent status of brain tumors. The current study examined mood disorders and sleep quality before and after surgery for hemangioblastoma brain tumors.

- The organization of healthcare and requirements for postgraduate medical training in pediatric anesthesia are inconsistent across European countries, influenced by country-specific regulations.
- The European Board of Anaesthesiology has established advisory training standards, but these are not mandatory, leading to significant variations in pediatric anesthesia training practices, such as supervision requirements and clinical experience in different countries.
- Most European countries lack official pediatric anesthesia fellowship programs, and while there is growing interest in creating a unified European pediatric anesthesia curriculum, it remains unclear how these training differences impact clinical outcomes in pediatric care.
