- Differentiating between ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular wide tachycardia (SWCT) using 12-lead ECG is challenging and has traditionally depended on manual interpretation, which can be limited by the user's expertise.
- Recent research has introduced automated algorithms that may offer improved accuracy over manual methods, but there has been little direct comparison between these two approaches.
- A study by LoCoco et al. (2024) evaluated the effectiveness of traditional manual ECG differentiation methods against five automated algorithms, analyzing 213 ECGs to assess their diagnostic performance.
Background Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) refers to the bidirectional interactions between the acutely or chronically dysfunctioning heart and kidney that lead to poor outcomes. Due to the evolving literature on renal impairment and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HfpEF), this review aimed to highlight the pathophysiological pathways, diagnosis using imaging and biomarkers and management of CRS in patients with HFpEF. Further studies are needed to validate the use of novel biomarkers, especially for early diagnosis and prognostication.

- The study examined how ischemia, retinal fluid, and layer thickness impact visual acuity (VA) in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) using swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT).
- Patients received aflibercept injections and were monitored through OCT analysis at baseline and after 3 and 6 months, correlating OCT findings with changes in best-corrected VA (BCVA).
- Results showed that a combination of intraretinal fluid (IRF) volume, thickness measurements in specific retinal layers, and ischemic indices had the strongest correlation with changes in VA, highlighting useful clinical markers for RVO management.
Children in the United States (N = 488, 4-11 years, 239 females, 248 males, one other, 53% White; data collected 2021-2022) participated in three studies investigating their expectations about immigrants. Participants recognized that immigration impacts characters' national identity and behaviors. Although previous research reported that children may essentialize nationality, participants instead reasoned flexibly about immigrant characters.

- Gaucher disease type 3 is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase, leading to a variety of health issues, particularly affecting the cardiac, neurological, and eye systems, with symptoms typically appearing before age 18.
- Type 3c, a specific form of this disease, is linked to a genetic variant and is unique for its association with heart problems, although few cases have been documented, making its full range of symptoms unclear.
- The case of a 20-year-old female with an unusual presentation of type 3c that includes eye inflammation and nerve damage—yet normal heart function—highlights the diverse manifestations of the disease and the need for better guidelines in evaluating
