Recent implementation of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) amendment 167 to Annex 1 allows pilots from ICAO contracting states to fly until 65 yr old. In response to the new ICAO standard, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) commissioned an Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) to make recommendations on whether the FAA should retain or amend the Age-60 Rule. Unable to reach a consensus, the ARC formed two working groups and submitted two position papers with opposing views. After reviewing the ARC's report, the FAA has decided to move toward raising the mandatory retirement age for airline pilots from 60 to 65. In this article, we provide a brief review of the ICAO's amendment to the age limit and discuss the various implications of this new international standard.

Long-term outcome and risk stratification in compensated advanced chronic liver disease after HCV-cure.
Hepatology
February 2025
Department of Medicine III, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Background And Aims: Around 750,000 patients per year will be cured of HCV infection until 2030. Those with compensated advanced chronic liver disease remain at risk for hepatic decompensation and de novo HCC. Algorithms have been developed to stratify risk early after cure; however, data on long-term outcomes and the prognostic utility of these risk stratification algorithms at later time points are lacking.

Patients with recreational drug and ethanol poisoning often present with reduced consciousness, coma, or disorientation. It is often unclear if there was recent head trauma. Algorithms to perform cranial computed tomography (cCT) like the Canadian CT Head Rule (CCHR), the National Emergency X-Radiography Utilization Study Head CT Decision Instrument (NEXUS DI), or the New Orleans Criteria (NOC) exist for patients with head trauma.

Department of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, USA.
Background: Thromboprophylaxis for medically ill patients during hospitalization and postdischarge remains underutilized. Clinical decision support (CDS) may address this need if embedded within workflow, interchangeable among electronic health records (EHRs), and anchored on a validated model.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical impact of a universal EHR-integrated CDS tool based on the International Medical Prevention Registry on Venous Thromboembolism plus D-Dimer venous thromboembolism model.

Introduction: Lung diseases are common in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD), making differential diagnosis with COVID-19 a challenge. This study describes pulmonary chest tomography (CT) findings in hospitalized ESKD patients on renal replacement therapy (RRT) with clinical suspicion of COVID-19.
Methods: ESKD individuals referred to emergency department older than 18 years with clinical suspicion of COVID-19 were recruited.
