Background: Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are a relevant cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with haematological neoplasms (HMs). Since 2002, a classification of IFI based on host factors, clinical and radiological features and mycological tests was published for research purpose.
Objectives: These criteria are widely used in clinical practice to identify patients at risk for IFI.
Article Synopsis
- The study addresses the global concern over the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs), particularly their zoonotic and pandemic risks, and their economic implications in Cuba.
- An integrated One Health model was developed to assess the risk of Avian Influenza (AI) introduction and transmission, using detailed parameters related to wildlife, poultry, pigs, and human populations.
- Results pinpointed high-risk areas, particularly in the south-western and eastern parts of Cuba, enabling better-targeted surveillance and enhanced biosecurity measures for managing potential AI outbreaks.
Background: Guideline-recommended low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) thresholds are often not achieved in women. The proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type-9 inhibitor (PCSK9i) monoclonal antibodies can help further reduce LDL-C and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) although differences in efficacy by sex and type are less understood.
Objectives: The authors sought to determine if there are differences in the efficacy of LDL-C lowering and reduction in the risk of MACE by sex and type of PCSK9i.
