Background: The impact of short-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM ) due to wildland fire smoke on the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains unclear. We investigated the association between short-term exposure to wildfire smoke PM and Emergency Department (ED) visits for acute CVD in the Western United States from 2007 to 2018.
Methods: ED visits for primary or secondary diagnoses of atrial fibrillation (AF), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure (HF), stroke, and total CVD were obtained from hospital associations or state health departments in California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, and Utah.
Association of Dialysate Bicarbonate with Arrhythmia in the Monitoring in Dialysis Study.

Article Synopsis
- Sudden death is a significant concern for hemodialysis patients, accounting for about 25% of their deaths, with more incidents occurring on the days they receive treatment.
- A study analyzed data from 66 patients using implantable loop recorders over 12 months to examine how higher levels of dialysate bicarbonate (DBIC) affected the occurrence of serious heart arrhythmias.
- The results showed that while fewer episodes of clinically significant arrhythmia were linked to DBIC levels over 35 mEq/L, this finding lost significance when factoring in potassium levels, highlighting the need for further research with larger sample sizes.
Outdoor nighttime light exposure (light pollution) is associated with Alzheimer's disease.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) prevalence has increased in the last century which can be attributed to increased lifespan, but environment is also important. Exposure to artificial light at night is one environmental factor that may influence AD.
Methods: This study evaluated the relationship between outdoor nighttime light exposure and AD prevalence in the United States using satellite acquired outdoor nighttime light intensity and Medicare data.
Cardiac herniation post left upper lobectomy and thymectomy: a case report.

April 2024
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Golden Jubilee National Hospital, Glasgow, G81 4DY, Scotland.
Background: Cardiac herniation occurs when there is a residual pericardial defect post thoracic surgery and is recognised as a rare but fatal complication. It confers a high mortality and requires immediate surgical correction upon recognition. We present a case of cardiac herniation occurring post thymectomy and left upper lobectomy.

School of Health Policy and Management, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College, Beijing, China. Electronic address:
Background: Flooding has become more frequent and intensive due to climate change, particularly in Asian countries. However, evidence on the long-term health effects of floods from large-scale studies on the vulnerable aged population in China is insufficient. This study analyzed the long-term effects of exposure to flood on electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities, a commonly used indicator of cardiovascular disease (CVD) screening, in middle-aged and elderly people.
