Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the relationship between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and various autoimmune diseases by comparing patients with these conditions to the general population.
- A total of over 1 million patient records were reviewed, finding that 5 out of 12 autoimmune diseases had a significant association with an increased prevalence of AD.
- The research suggests a potential link between certain autoimmune diseases and Alzheimer's, but further studies are necessary to confirm these findings and understand the reasons behind the association.
Introduction: Myasthenia gravis (MG) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are two of the most important diseases where the dysregulation of acetylcholine activity plays a crucial role. In the first, this dysregulation happens at the level of the neu-romuscular junction and in the second, in the central nervous system (CNS).
Aim: To analyze the possible relationship between these two pathologies, analyzing the prevalence and the odds ratio of AD within patients previously diagnosed with MG.

Objectives: To evaluate lactate, procalcitonin, criteria defining systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and the Quick Sepsis-Related Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) and compare their ability to predict 30-day mortality, infection with microbiologic confirmation, and true bacteremia in patients treated for infection in hospital emergency departments.
Material And Methods: Prospective multicenter observational cohort study. We enrolled a convenience sample of patients aged 18 years or older attended in 71 Spanish emergency departments from October 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020.
Objective: Design a risk model to predict bacteraemia in patients attended in emergency departments (ED) for an episode of infection.
Methods: This was a national, prospective, multicentre, observational cohort study of blood cultures (BC) collected from adult patients (≥ 18 years) attended in 71 Spanish EDs from October 1 2019 to March 31, 2020. Variables with a p value < 0.
