Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed young adults (18-44 years old) to understand the relationship between cannabis use disorder (CUD) and the occurrences of pulmonary embolism (PE), finding that those with CUD had lower chances of being admitted for PE compared to those without.
- - Nearly 62,000 PE-related admissions were reviewed, with only about 1,700 of those involving CUD; results showed that CUD patients were less likely to be routinely discharged from the hospital and more likely to be transferred to other care facilities.
- - No significant difference in in-hospital mortality rates was observed between the CUD+ and CUD- groups, but patients with CUD had longer hospital stays and higher costs related to their
Article Synopsis
- A study compared cardiovascular disease risk factors and outcomes among young Black patients hospitalized in 2007 and 2017, using data from the National Inpatient Sample database.
- The analysis revealed that the 2017 cohort had a younger average age, more male patients, and an increased prevalence of traditional cardiometabolic conditions, despite reductions in substance abuse.
- In-hospital outcomes for 2017 showed a higher incidence of major adverse cardiac events compared to 2007, including acute myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest, but a decrease in mortality and rates of certain cardiovascular interventions.
Depression and coronary artery disease are leading causes of mortality in adults in high-income countries. Due to the paucity of data on the young, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and associated major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in young adults hospitalized with comorbid depression a decade apart. We conducted a retrospective analysis of the National Inpatient Sample Database for the years 2007 and 2017.

Population-level data is lacking about the relationship between COVID-19 and cardiovascular complications; therefore, we conducted a study to examine the incidence of myocarditis, acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF) after COVID-19 infection. Methods Retrospective cohort study using de-identified data from 50 health systems across the United States.

Method: A multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed of patients 18 years or older diagnosed with opioid use disorder by the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision, Clinical Modification without baseline arrhythmia in 2018-2019, using Clinformatics Data Mart Database (Optum, Eden Prairie, Minn).
Carotid webs are abnormal luminal projections at the carotid bulb associated with blood flow stasis, artery dissection, and subsequent complications. Carotid webs are considered to be a rare variant of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). Young individuals with symptomatic carotid webs are found to be associated with ischemic stroke.

Recurrent disease can occur if the virus reactivates due to disruption of immunity due to factors such as older age or immunosuppressive drugs. CMV is common, with a seroprevalence (CMV IgG-positive) of 40-100 % in adults, increasing with age.

It is characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the bowel wall to a variable depth and symptoms associated with gastrointestinal tract disease. The prevalence of this condition is ranging from 8 and 28 per 100,000.

Multiple instruments are used to measure frailty; most are time-consuming. The Care Assessment Need (CAN) score is automatically generated from electronic health record data using a statistical model.
