The authors report on the casuistry of aorto-coronary by-pass operations they performed between April 1971 and December 1974, discussing the criteria which indicate the necessity of operating, the principles of the operative techniques, and the results obtained. Out of a total of 342 operated cases, there was an operative mortality (within 30 days) of 3% in isolated by-pass cases, and 4% if one includes associated operations. In 3,5% of patients, postoperative necrosis was present. Almost the same values were found in the smaller group (66 cases) which underwent urgent by-pass operations. The authors consider that the aorto-coronary by-pass operation is a very useful treatment, both for stable and unstable angina, as long as the anatomo-functional conditions exist.

All-cancer incidence and mortality in Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and their descendants in England and Wales.

Background: This paper identifies differences in all-cancer incidence and mortality between Pakistani-born (PB), Bangladeshi-born (BB), their descendants, and the White British (WB) in England and Wales. Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are the most marginalised and disadvantaged groups in England and Wales yet, are found to have low cancer mortality and low all-cause mortality. Previous studies though have not looked at generational differences, applied individual-level data nor separated Pakistanis and Bangladeshis from each other and other Asian groups.

Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic forced mental health clinicians to transition from in-person to digital service delivery, which helped maintain care and meet the rising demand for mental health services.
- The study aimed to explore issues at micro, meso, and macro levels regarding digital mental health interventions (DMHI) to enhance treatment outcomes and client satisfaction.
- Findings indicated that both clients and clinicians were generally satisfied with DMHI, while community partners recognized the importance of addressing policy uncertainties as these digital services are likely to play a key role in the future of mental healthcare.
Exploring Trade-Offs for Online Mental Health Matching: Agent-Based Modeling Study.

Background: Online mental health communities (OMHCs) are an effective and accessible channel to give and receive social support for individuals with mental and emotional issues. However, a key challenge on these platforms is finding suitable partners to interact with given that mechanisms to match users are currently underdeveloped or highly naive.
Objective: In this study, we collaborated with one of the world's largest OMHCs; our contribution is to show the application of agent-based modeling for the design of online community matching algorithms.

Metabolic reprogramming contributes to the progression and prognosis of various kidney diseases. Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body and participates in more metabolic processes than other amino acids. Altered glutamine metabolism is a prominent feature in different kidney diseases.
