Aim: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a debilitating and fatal lung disease. Changes in body composition potentially correlate with outcomes in patients with IPF.
Materials And Methods: Patients with IPF on antifibrotic treatment attending a single institution were identified and retrospectively evaluated (n=84).
Salvage radiotherapy with volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for recurrent prostate cancer after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU): A large French retrospective series and literature review.

December 2024
Background And Purpose: Although not validated as a standard treatment, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is increasingly used in the management of localised prostate cancer (PCa). In case of recurrence after HIFU, treatment is currently not standardised. Our aim was to evaluate normofractionated (NFRT) and hypofractionated (HFRT) salvage radiotherapy (RT) using volumetric modulated arc therapy (s-VMAT) with doses used in first-line management of localised PCa.

- The study focused on the use of a machine learning model using initial transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to predict in-hospital major adverse events (MAEs) in patients admitted to intensive cardiac care units (ICCU).
- A total of 1,499 patients were evaluated, and the model showed significant accuracy, highlighting five key TTE parameters that contributed to its predictions.
- The machine learning model outperformed traditional scoring methods, indicating it could serve as a better tool for risk stratification in heart patients.
Article Synopsis
- Sodium chloride (NaCl) is significant across various fields, including geochemistry and food production, and is one of the most prevalent salts in the cosmos.
- Researchers discovered a new form of NaCl, a metastable dihydrate, created by rapidly freezing a NaCl solution, which transforms into hydrohalite and ice Ih when heated above 190 K.
- This finding suggests that the presence of this new hydrate on icy celestial bodies, like Jupiter and Saturn's moons, could indicate areas where subsurface brines have recently frozen, highlighting potential targets for future space missions.
Background: The prevalence and short-term cardiovascular consequences of recent cannabis use in patients admitted to an intensive cardiac care unit for acute coronary syndrome is not well established.
Aims: To assess the prevalence of recent cannabis use detected by prospective systematic screening, and its prognostic value in predicting the occurrence of in-hospital major adverse events in consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Methods: From 07 to 22 April 2021, all consecutive patients admitted to an intensive cardiac care unit in 39 centres throughout France were studied prospectively.
