Survey of Respiratory Virus in Patients Hospitalised for Acute Exacerbations of Heart Failure - A Prospective Observational Study.

Introduction: Respiratory virus (RV) infections have been implicated in acute exacerbation cardiopulmunary conditions. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of RV infections in patients admitted to the cardiology unit with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) in a tertiary hospitals in Singapore.

Materials And Methods: This was a single-centre, prospective observational study.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of the spectrum and outcomes of different histologic subtypes of noninvasive and invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms.

Background: Our aim was to review the available evidence to determine the clinical importance of the histologic subtypes of noninvasive and invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) on disease characteristics and overall survival.

Methods: We reviewed systematically 14 comparative studies that reported clinicopathologic characteristics and survival of 1,617 patients with IPMN (900 noninvasive and 717 invasive).

Results: The pancreatobiliary subtype was associated with the greatest likelihood of tumor invasion (67.
