Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular electronic devices can identify atrial high-rate episodes (AHREs), but the specific predictors of significant AHREs were not well understood until this study.
- In a study of 145 patients, around 30.3% experienced AHREs over a six-month period, with data collected on risk factors using Cox regression analysis.
- Key risk factors linked to the development of AHREs included prior use of anti-arrhythmic drugs, history of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, percentage of premature atrial contractions recorded on ECG, and left ventricular global longitudinal strain measurements.
The diagnostic performance of AFP and PIVKA-II models for non-B non-C hepatocellular carcinoma.
BMC Res Notes
November 2023
Objective: This study aims to describe the diagnostic performance of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), alpha-fetoprotein L3 isoform (AFP-L3), protein induced by vitamin K absence II (PIVKA-II), and combined biomarkers for non-B non-C hepatocellular carcinoma (NBNC-HCC).
Results: A total of 681 newly-diagnosed primary liver disease subjects (385 non-HCC, 296 HCC) who tested negativity for the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis C antibody (anti-HCV) enrolled in this study. At the cut-off point of 3.
Background: MicroRNA-1246 (miR-1246), an oncomiR that regulates the expression of multiple cancer-related genes, has been attracted and studied as a promising indicator of various tumors. However, diverse conclusions on diagnostic accuracy have been shown due to the small sample size and limited studies included. This meta-analysis is aimed at systematically assessing the performance of extracellular circulating miR-1246 in screening common cancers.

The aims of this study were (1) to evaluate the association between predictors and outcomes and (2) to validate the rational of systematic early fasciotomy.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 122 patients (80% men, n = 100) who underwent surgery for popliteal artery injuries from October 2018 to March 2021 in southern Vietnam.

In January 2020, we identified two severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected patients in a familial cluster with one person coming from Wuhan, China. The complete genome sequences of two SARS-CoV-2 strains isolated from these patients were identical and 99.98% similar to strains isolated in Wuhan.
