Evaluation of Timing of Pharmacologic Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis Initiation in Trauma Patients at a Level One Trauma Center.

Major trauma is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). Trauma guidelines recommend prompt initiation of pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis. While early initiation is recommended, delays in therapy can occur.

Prostate Cancer Therapy Cardiotoxicity Map (PROXMAP) for Advanced Disease States: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis with Bayesian Modeling of Treatment Histories.

Background And Objective: Recommendations of first-line therapies for metastatic hormone-sensitive (mHSPC), nonmetastatic castrate-resistant (M0CRPC), and metastatic castrate-resistant (mCRPC) prostate cancer do not account for cardiotoxicity due to a lack of clear prior evidence. This manuscript assesses cardiotoxicity of these therapies.

Methods: We searched Ovid Medline, Elsevier Embase, and the Cochrane Library for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) from database inception to January 14, 2024.

Demonstration and imaging of cryogenic magneto-thermoelectric cooling in a van der Waals semimetal.

Attaining viable thermoelectric cooling at cryogenic temperatures is of considerable fundamental and technological interest for electronics and quantum materials applications. In-device temperature control can provide more efficient and precise thermal environment management compared with conventional global cooling. The application of a current and perpendicular magnetic field gives rise to cooling by generating electron-hole pairs on one side of the sample and to heating due to their recombination on the opposite side, which is known as the Ettingshausen effect.

The quantum geometric origin of capacitance in insulators.

In band insulators, without a Fermi surface, adiabatic transport can exist due to the geometry of the ground state wavefunction. Here we show that for systems driven at a small but finite frequency ω, transport likewise depends sensitively on quantum geometry. We make this statement precise by expressing the Kubo formula for conductivity as the variation of the time-dependent polarization with respect to the applied field.

Definition of Polypharmacy in Heart Failure: A Scoping Review of the Literature.

Patients with heart failure (HF) have a high prevalence of polypharmacy, which can lead to drug interactions, cognitive impairment, and medication non-compliance. However, the definition of polypharmacy in these patients is still inconsistent. The aim of this scoping review was to find the most common definition of polypharmacy in HF patients.
