[Contribution of the 6-minutes walking test and the plasma NT-proBNP at admission and discharge to the prognostic evaluation of patients with NYHA class II-III Heart Failure.].

Objective: To study the 6MWT and NT-proBNP contribution to the prognosis evaluation of patients with NYHA class II-III heart failure in the Yalgado Ouédraogo Teaching Hospital.

Methods: We carried out a nine months prospective observational cohort from the 1 February to the 31 October 2020. Patients with NYHA class II-III HF who consented to participate were included in the study.

The Rural Household Multiple Indicator Survey, data from 13,310 farm households in 21 countries.

The Rural Household Multiple Indicator Survey (RHoMIS) is a standardized farm household survey approach which collects information on 758 variables covering household demographics, farm area, crops grown and their production, livestock holdings and their production, agricultural product use and variables underlying standard socio-economic and food security indicators such as the Probability of Poverty Index, the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale, and household dietary diversity. These variables are used to quantify more than 40 different indicators on farm and household characteristics, welfare, productivity, and economic performance. Between 2015 and the beginning of 2018, the survey instrument was applied in 21 countries in Central America, sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.

Glycaemic variability is associated with severity of coronary artery disease in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes and acute myocardial infarction.

Background: In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), glycaemic variability (GV), another component of glycaemic abnormalities, is a novel potentially aggravating factor for coronary artery disease (CAD).

Objectives: The aim of our study was to identify interactions between GV and severity of CAD in diabetes patients admitted for acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods: All patients with T2D admitted to our university hospital for AMI from March 2015 to February 2017 who received intravenous (IV) insulin therapy and underwent coronary angiography were included.

Right upper pulmonary vein metastasis from hepatocarcinoma.

Metastatic tumor involvement of the heart is uncommon but may occur with all types of primary neoplasms. We report the case of a 51-year-old male who developed a massive mass involving the upper right pulmonary vein. The tumor was removed and the final pathology report disclosed metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma.
