The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of lethal outcomes within one year after hospitalization of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI), risk factors responsible for the poor prognosis, and main causes of intrahospital mortality. The most common causes of fatal outcomes were cardiogenic shock (52.5%) and arrhythmias (24.4%). Factors influencing long-term prognosis were considered. Unfavorable effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) on the 7-year survival rate in patients with previous MI was revealed. Survivorship was less affectedin the absence of DM: -0.12 (0.19; 0.07) and 0.36(0.40; 0.029) respectively, p = 0.001.

Pediatric-Onset Multiple Sclerosis (POMS) is characterized by both white and grey matter inflammation, as well as by a higher risk of long-term physical and cognitive disability. The peculiar immunopathogenic mechanisms of POMS suggests that the use of induction therapies, including alemtuzumab (ALTZ), might be a promising approach, at least for postpuberal (> 11 yo) POMS. Although no data on the use of induction therapies in POMS are available from clinical trials currently, case series or case reports on the effect of alemtuzumab (ALTZ) have been recently published.
