This paper examines recent developments in hospital librarianship in the United States, including the current status of hospital-based clinical library services. Several examples of hospital library services are presented that demonstrate some characteristics of struggling and thriving services. The implications of the informationist concept are considered. The continuation of the hospital librarian's primary role in support of patient care is explored, as core competencies are reexamined for relevancy in the new millennium.

Clin Cardiol
January 2025
Department of Cardiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Background: The efficiency of machine learning (ML) based predictive models in predicting in-hospital mortality for heart failure (HF) patients is a topic of debate. In this context, this study's objective is to conduct a meta-analysis to compare and assess existing prognostic models designed for predicting in-hospital mortality in HF patients.

Spinal Dumbbell Meningiomas: A Systematic Review.
Ann Ital Chir
December 2024
Neurosurgery Unit, Department of Head and Neck Surgery, Garibaldi Hospital, 95124 Catania, Italy.
Aim: This systematic review aims to synthesize the epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, treatment strategies, and outcomes of spinal dumbbell meningiomas to enhance understanding and improve patient management.
Methods: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, four major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) were searched until June 2024. Studies included patients diagnosed with spinal dumbbell intradural-extradural meningiomas, focusing on patient demographics, tumor characteristics, diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, and clinical outcomes.

December 2024
Department of Gastroenterology, Huzhou Central Hospital, Affiliated Central Hospital of Huzhou University, Huzhou, Zhejiang, China.
Background: The significance of the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) in predicting the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) has been extensively explored; however, findings remain controversial. As such, this meta-analysis was performed to more precisely determine the utility of the SIRI in predicting PC prognosis.
