This paper is aimed to study the optimal selection of structure of vaneless centrifugal blood pump. The optimal objective is determined according to requirements of clinical use. Possible schemes are generally worked out based on structural feature of vaneless centrifugal blood pump. The optimal structure is selected from possible schemes with constraints on blood perfusion and blood damage indexes. Using an optimal selection method one can find the optimum structure scheme from possible schemes effectively. The results of numerical simulation of optimal blood pump showed that the method of constraints of blood perfusion and blood damage is competent for the requirements of selection of the optimal blood pumps.

Background: Posaconazole is a potent antifungal agent widely used to manage invasive fungal infections, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Achieving optimal therapeutic concentrations of posaconazole can be challenging due to interpatient variability, the availability of multiple formulations, and various dosing strategies.

Methods: We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library to identify studies evaluating factors that influence blood concentrations of posaconazole.

Introduction The antimicrobial resistance of is variable and is influenced by both geographic location and regional antibiotic use. The overuse of antibiotics, especially in hospitalised patients, suppresses the growth and persistence of drug-resistant bacteria. This study aimed to detect the prevalence of carbapenem-resistant and the genes responsible for the resistance.

Background/aims: Recent studies have shown an increased risk of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in patients who use both nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). We analyzed the risk of lower gastrointestinal bleeding and compared this risk between NSAID+PPI users and NSAID-only users.

Methods: In this retrospective, observational study, data from five hospitals were analyzed using a common data model to determine the risk of lower gastrointestinal bleeding and compare this risk between NSAID+PPI users (target cohort) and NSAID-only users (comparative cohort).

Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Saint Peter's University Hospital, New Brunswick, USA.

Acute esophageal necrosis (AEN), also known as black esophagus or Gurvits syndrome, is an uncommon endoscopic finding characterized by diffuse, circumferential, black discoloration of the esophagus that terminates at the gastroesophageal junction. The incidence of AEN has been reported to be 0-0.2% in autopsy series and up to 0.

Aims: Empagliflozin confers cardioprotective benefits among patients with heart failure, across the range of ejection fraction (EF), regardless of type 2 diabetes status. The long-term cost-effectiveness of empagliflozin for the treatment of heart failure (HF) in the Philippines remains unclear. This study aims to determine the economic benefit of adding empagliflozin to the standard of care (SoC) vs the SoC alone for HF in the Philippines.
