Background: Home parenteral nutrition (HPN) is a life-saving therapy for patients with chronic intestinal failure but can be associated with a degree of psychological distress. The factors associated with the need for antidepressants (ADs) in this cohort have not yet been described.
Methods: The study involved prospective data collection from patients attending an HPN clinic at a national intestinal failure referral center. Patients requiring HPN as a result of active malignancy were excluded. Patients were divided in 2 groups according to AD usage; demographic, anthropometric, socioeconomic characteristics, and intravenous supplementation (IVS) regimens were compared between groups.
Results: A total of 184 patients were recruited between July 2018 and April 2019, with an overall prevalence of AD use of 41.7% (70/168 patients). Daily mean IVS volume was significantly higher among patients taking AD ("AD" group; 2125.48 ± 991.8 ml/day, "no-AD" group; 1828.54 ± 847.0 ml/day, P = .039), with the proportion of patients needing high-volume IVS (≥3000 ml/day) being 3 times higher in the AD group (20.0%(14/70 patients) vs 6.1% (6/98 patients), P = .006). The average energy IVS infusion per day was similar between the groups.
Conclusion: This is the first study to demonstrate that AD use correlates with higher IVS volume rather than energy requirements in HPN patients, suggesting that high IVS volume requirements may be better associated with the patient's disease burden. Early and tailored mental health intervention may be beneficial in those with high IVS volume requirements.

Background: Transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRCA) is a prevalent disease, and it can be associated with heart failure (HF), left ventricle hypertrophy (LVH), atrial fibrillation (AF), and aortic stenosis (AS).
Aim: The study aims to detect the prevalence of ATTRCA in the symptomatic AS population.
Method: A single-center prospective study screening for ATTRCA in patients diagnosed with symptomatic severe AS undergoing aortic valve (AV) intervention.
The causal effects of gut microbiota on quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) and T2* imaging-derived phenotypes: insights from a Mendelian randomization study.

Background: Gut microbiota are associated with brain imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs); however, the specific causal relationship between the gut microbiota and brain iron-related IDPs remains unclear. Thus, we sought to analyze the potential causal effects of gut microbiota on brain iron-related IDPs using Mendelian randomization (MR).
Methods: We obtained the data of 196 gut microbiota from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) from the MiBioGen database, as well as the data of 18 quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) IDPs and 10 T2* IDPs from the United Kingdom Biobank (UKB).

Article Synopsis
- Hypertension and diabetes are common in heart failure patients, particularly those with reduced ejection fraction, and can lead to right ventricular dysfunction, which was the focus of this study using cardiac MRI.
- The study involved 249 patients divided into control and two hypertensive subgroups, one with and one without diabetes, measuring various cardiac muscle strain metrics to compare their conditions.
- Results showed that diabetes significantly worsened right ventricular strain compared to hypertensive patients without it, highlighting DM as an independent factor contributing to RV dysfunction, potentially influenced by left ventricular strain.
