The importance of decision support systems is highly acknowledged as a key strategy to improve medical safety and quality of care. A strong interoperability between the hospital Electronic Health Record (EHR) and the Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) is the key to reach a most reliable decision support, that could aid in better diagnosis, reduce medication errors and improve practitioner performances. Interoperability is granted by the use of standards for data representation and for system intercommunication. A CDSS to support HAART (Highly active antiretroviral therapy) prescription in HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) naive patients was developed within the Ligurian HIV Network. GLIF3 (GuideLine Interchange Format) standard was used to represent clinical guidelines in machine interpretable format. HSSP (Healthcare Services Specification Project) DSS (Decision Support System) standard was used to develop the CDSS web service that evaluates patient's data according to the rules emerging from the GLIF representation of the guidelines. Patient's data are extracted from hospital EHR, formatted into standard vMR (virtual Medical Record) documents and sent to the DSS web service to be evaluated. The results are displayed by a client application in an intuitive way to guide physician's decisions.

Real-World Effectiveness and Tolerability of Dolutegravir and Lamivudine 2-Drug Regimen in People Living with HIV: Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis.
Infect Dis Ther
January 2025
ViiV Healthcare, Madrid, Spain.
Introduction: Dolutegravir (DTG) + lamivudine (3TC) demonstrated high rates of virologic suppression (VS) and low rates of virologic failure (VF), discontinuation, and drug resistance in randomized trials. Real-world evidence can support treatment effectiveness, safety, and tolerability in clinical practice and aid in treatment decisions.
Methods: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify studies using DTG + 3TC (January 2013-March 2024).

There are several pharmacologic agents that have been touted as guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, it is important to recognize that older adults with HFpEF also contend with an increased risk for adverse effects from medications due to age-related changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications, as well as the concurrence of geriatric conditions such as polypharmacy and frailty. With this review, we discuss the underlying evidence for the benefits of various treatments in HFpEF and incorporate key considerations for older adults, a subpopulation that may be at higher risk for adverse drug events.

Intravenous fluid is administered during high-risk surgery to optimize stroke volume (SV). To assess ongoing need for fluids, the hemodynamic response to a fluid bolus is evaluated using a fluid challenge technique. The Acumen Assisted Fluid Management (AFM) system is a decision support tool designed to ease the application of fluid challenges and thus improve fluid administration during high-risk surgery.

We have recently shown that fluoxetine (FX) suppressed polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid-induced inflammatory response and endothelin release in human epidermal keratinocytes, via the indirect inhibition of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-pathway. Because PI3K-signaling is a positive regulator of the proliferation, in the current, highly focused follow-up study, we assessed the effects of FX (14 µM) on the proliferation and differentiation of human epidermal keratinocytes. We found that FX exerted anti-proliferative actions in 2D cultures (HaCaT and primary human epidermal keratinocytes [NHEKs]; 48- and 72-h; CyQUANT-assay) as well as in 3D reconstructed epidermal equivalents (48-h; Ki-67 immunohistochemistry).

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a febrile vasculitis disorder, with coronary artery lesions (CALs) being the most severe complication. Early detection of CALs is challenging due to limitations in echocardiographic equipment (UCG). This study aimed to develop and validate an artificial intelligence algorithm to distinguish CALs in KD patients and support diagnostic decision-making at admission.
