Background: The link between neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and cardiovascular disease is currently unclear.
Objective: To determine the acute myocardial infarction (MI) risk in patients with MS and NMOSD.
Methods: This study analyzed the Korean National Health Insurance Service database between January 2010 and December 2017. The included patients comprised 1503/1675 adults with MS/NMOSD who had not experienced ischemic heart disease or ischemic stroke at the index date. Matched controls were selected based on age, sex, and the presence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), and dyslipidemia.
Results: The risks of developing MI were 2.61 (hazard ratio (HR), 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.73-3.95) and 1.95 (95% CI = 1.18-3.22) times higher in MS and NMOSD compared with the control populations. Patients with NMOSD had a similar MI risk compared with patients with MS, after adjusting for age, sex, income, hypertension, DM, and dyslipidemia (HR = 0.59, 95% CI = 0.34-1.02, = 0.059). Among each patient group, the MI risk did not differ significantly with age (20-39, 40-64 or ⩾65 years), sex, or the presence of hypertension, DM, or dyslipidemia.
Conclusion: The MI risk increased in MS and NMOSD and seemed to be comparable between NMOSD and MS.

This report documents complications in false pilchard Harengula clupeola and scad Decapterus macarellus associated with a salinomycin (60 mg kg-1) and amprolium (100 mg kg-1) gel feed treatment, along with prolonged temperature increase, for an Enteromyxum leei outbreak in a salt water, mixed species, public aquarium exhibit. Shortly after administration, a mass mortality event ensued where hundreds of false pilchards and a few scad died. Medicated gel feed was noted within the gastrointestinal tracts of all affected fish.

Background: The High-STEACS (High-Sensitivity Troponin in the Evaluation of Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome) pathway risk stratifies emergency department patients with possible acute coronary syndrome. This study aims to determine if the High-STEACS hs-cTnT (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T) pathway can achieve the ≥99% negative predictive value (NPV) safety threshold for 30-day cardiac death or myocardial infarction (CDMI) in a multisite US cohort of patients with and without known coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods: A secondary analysis of the STOP-CP (High-Sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T [Gen 5 STAT Assay] to Optimize Chest Pain Risk Stratification) cohort, which enrolled adult emergency department patients with possible acute coronary syndrome at 8 US sites (January 25, 2017-September 6, 2018).

Background: One of the most important causes of mortality in the world is acute myocardial infarction. There are two general treatments including thrombolytic drugs and percutaneous coronary interventions. But, monitoring outpatient AMI treatment from a remote or rural location has emerged as a successful telemedicine technique.

Background: The involvement of inflammation in the start and advancement of atherosclerotic plaques in acute coronary syndrome has been clarified. White blood cell count and its differential are key inflammatory markers in cardiovascular disease, with the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) emerging as a marker of inflammation and a predictor of mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome. The study aims to investigate the utility of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and other complete blood count parameters as a risk stratification tool and independent predictor of Global Registry for Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score in Non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Risk factors of mortality in patients with AMI have been widely investigated, identifying older age and heart failure as common contributors. This study aimed to determine risk factors and explore predictors associated with higher mortality among patients with AMI.
