In a heart failure (HF) disease management program (DMP), 4 patients with advanced HF and low ejection fractions had near full recovery within 4 to 45 months. When discharged to their primary care physicians, all 4 had severe symptom relapse and deterioration of their left ventricular function. Readmission to the HF DMP for a second time resulted in similar improvement in all parameters, as was seen the first time.

The human microbiota may influence the effectiveness of drug therapy by activating or inactivating the pharmacological properties of drugs. Computational methods have demonstrated their ability to screen reliable microbe-drug associations and uncover the mechanism by which drugs exert their functions. However, the previous prediction methods failed to completely exploit the neighborhood topologies of the microbe and drug entities and the diverse correlations between the microbe-drug entity pair and the other entities.
