Drugs not commonly considered to be cardioactive agents have been reported to cause prolongation of the corrected QT interval with resultant torsades de pointes or ventricular fibrillation. We report 4 cases of gatifloxacin-associated cardiac toxicity in patients with known risk factors for this adverse event.

Right Ventricular Function and Outcomes Stratified by the Effective Regurgitant Orifice Area in Secondary Tricuspid Regurgitation.
Can J Cardiol

Department of Cardiology, Istituto Auxologico Italiano, IRCCS, Milan, Italy; Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Milano- Bicocca, Milan, Italy.
Background: In patients with moderate and severe secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR), the effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA), corrected using the proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method for tricuspid valve leaflet tethering and low TR jet velocities, has an unclear threshold for identifying high-risk patients. This study aimed to establish a risk-based EROA cutoff and assess the impact of right ventricular (RV) remodeling on outcomes in low-risk STR patients according to EROA.
Methods: We included 513 consecutive outpatients (age 75±13 years, 47% male) with moderate and severe STR.
Performance of Four AI Chatbots in Answering Endodontic Questions.

Department of Maxillofacial Surgery and Diagnostic Sciences, College of Dentistry, Jazan University, Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
Introduction: Artificial intelligence models have shown potential as educational tools in healthcare, such as answering exam questions. This study aimed to assess the performance of four prominent chatbots: ChatGPT-4o, MedGebra GPT4o, Meta LIama 3, and Gemini Advanced in answering multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in endodontics.
Methods: The study utilized 100 MCQs each with 4 potential answers.
Associations of Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg cell levels and imbalance with recurrent spontaneous abortion: A meta-analysis.
J Obstet Gynaecol Res
January 2025
Department of Obstetrics, HanDan Central Hospital, HanDan, China.
Objective: Abnormal levels and imbalances of T cell subsets are common in recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) patients, but most studies have small sample sizes, and comprehensive evaluations are lacking. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to comprehensively investigate T cell subsets and their ratios in RSA patients.
Methods: Four databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases) were searched until 10 January 2024.
Altered circadian rhythmicity of the QT interval predicts mortality in a large real-world academic hospital population.
Heliyon
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, the Netherlands.
Objective And Rationale: Small studies have shown that the QT interval follows a circadian rhythm. This finding has never been confirmed in a large real-world hospital population and the clinical meaning of disrupted rhythmicity remains unknown.
Methods: In this cohort study, all consecutive adult patients with at least one 12-lead ECG acquired between 1991 and 2021 were considered.
Longitudinal Assessment of Structural and Functional Changes in Rod-cone Dystrophy: A 10-year Follow-up Study.
Ophthalmol Sci
November 2024
Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, Department of Optometry and Vision Sciences, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Australia.
Purpose: Emerging clinical trials for inherited retinal disease (IRD) require an understanding of long-term progression. This longitudinal study investigated the genetic diagnosis and change in retinal structure and function over 10 years in rod-cone dystrophies (RCDs).
Design: Longitudinal observational follow-up study.
