Predicting Atrial Fibrillation After Stroke by Combining Polygenic Risk Scores and Clinical Features.

Since treatment with anticoagulants can prevent recurrent strokes, identification of patients at risk for incident AF after stroke is crucial. We aimed to investigate whether the addition of AF polygenic risk scores (PRS) to existing clinical risk predictors could improve prediction of AF after stroke. Patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke at Massachusetts General Hospital between 2003-2017 were included.

The Clinical Impression of NDM-producing in Intensive Care Units of the University Referral Hospital in North India.

Aims And Background: Carbapenem-resistant (CRAb), a major public health threat, causes severe infections in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. It resists β-lactam antibiotics through mechanisms like New Delhi metallo-beta-lactamase (NDM).

Materials And Methods: In ICU patients, 69 species were isolated from 86 non-fermenting Gram-negative bacilli.

Nanomaterials-plants-microbes interaction: plant growth promotion and stress mitigation.

Soil salinization, extreme climate conditions, and phytopathogens are abiotic and biotic stressors that remarkably reduce agricultural productivity. Recently, nanomaterials have gained attention as effective agents for agricultural applications to mitigate such stresses. This review aims to critically appraise the available literature on interactions involving nanomaterials, plants, and microorganisms.

Microneedle patches: the next frontier in cardiovascular care.

Myocardial infarction is a condition where the heart muscle is damaged due to clogged coronary arteries. There are limited treatment options for treating myocardial infarction. Microneedle patches have recently become popular as a possibly viable therapy for myocardial.

Recent advancements in the understanding of the alterations in mitochondrial biogenesis in Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive decline. The processes underlying the pathophysiology of AD are still not fully understood despite a great deal of research. Since mitochondrial dysfunction affects cellular energy metabolism, oxidative stress, and neuronal survival, it is becoming increasingly clear that it plays a major role in the development of AD.
