Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) volumes in healthy individuals to better understand the impact of factors like age, sex, and cardiovascular risk on heart function.
- Researchers analyzed data from 1,348 adults, discovering that higher LA to LV volume ratios are linked to an increased risk of diastolic dysfunction and that this measure can enhance the assessment of heart filling pressures.
- Ultimately, the findings suggest that the LA:LV ratio could be valuable in distinguishing between normal and pathological LA enlargement, particularly in those with enlarged LA volumes.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the awareness and experiences of Long COVID among African American/Black, Hispanic/Latino, and Indigenous adults in Arizona who tested positive for COVID-19.
- Participants showed limited awareness of Long COVID but reported experiencing symptoms such as brain fog and fatigue, alongside mental health challenges like anxiety.
- The researchers emphasize the need for better access to culturally relevant information and health resources to address Long COVID disparities in these communities.
Real-time guidance by deep learning of experienced operators to improve the standardization of echocardiographic acquisitions.

Aims: Impaired standardization of echocardiograms may increase inter-operator variability. This study aimed to determine whether the real-time guidance of experienced sonographers by deep learning (DL) could improve the standardization of apical recordings.
Methods And Results: Patients ( = 88) in sinus rhythm referred for echocardiography were included.
Aims: Apical foreshortening leads to an underestimation of left ventricular (LV) volumes and an overestimation of LV ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain. Real-time guiding using deep learning (DL) during echocardiography to reduce foreshortening could improve standardization and reduce variability. We aimed to study the effect of real-time DL guiding during echocardiography on measures of LV foreshortening and inter-observer variability.

Background: Aquí Entre Nos (Between Us) is a community-based participatory research project to engage rural, ethno-racially diverse hotel housekeepers in a right to work state during a time of national anti-immigrant policy, wildfires and emergence of a global pandemic.
Objectives: We aimed to (1) build trust and social support with the hotel housekeeping community, (2) learn about the occupational health, safety, and workers' rights challenges, strategies, and solutions held by workers, and (3) develop a workforce-driven research and action agenda to improve labor and health conditions.
Methods: Participatory mixed methods rooted in popular education are described to form an advisory board and engage the workforce.
