Recently, low--but abnormal--rates of cardiomyocyte apoptosis have been observed in failing human hearts. Genetic and pharmacological studies suggest that this cell death is causally linked to heart failure in rodent models. Herein, we review these data and discuss potential therapeutic implications.

Early Acute Kidney Injury in Stroke Patients Submitted to Endovascular Treatment: A Cohort Study.
J Clin Med
November 2024
Department of Internal Medicine, Unidade Local de Saúde de Gaia e Espinho EPE, Rua Conceição Fernandes, 4434-502 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal.
Article Synopsis
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in patients after endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke, impacting recovery and survival rates.
- A study involving 1150 patients revealed an AKI incidence of 6%, with risk factors including older age, longer treatment times, and lower kidney function.
- AKI significantly correlates with higher mortality rates, emphasizing the need for improved treatment strategies for at-risk patients.
Article Synopsis
- In developing countries, understanding why individuals may avoid using health services is essential for improving population health, especially in places with high mortality rates.
- A study in Malawi investigates how women's exposure to death (specifically a sister's maternal death or a child's neonatal death) impacts their likelihood of using maternal health services.
- Findings suggest that rather than leading to fatalism, exposure to death tends to increase women's health vigilance, prompting them to seek out more maternal care amid significant health risks.
The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: Enhancing Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography for Coronary Artery Disease Management.
Cureus
June 2024
Department of Radiodiagnosis, St. John's Medical College and Hospital, Bengaluru, IND.
This review aims to explore the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in coronary CT angiography (CCTA), a key tool for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD). Because CAD is still a major cause of death worldwide, effective and accurate diagnostic methods are required to identify and manage the condition. CCTA certainly is a noninvasive alternative for diagnosing CAD, but it requires a large amount of data as input.
