Unlabelled: Cardiovascular disease is a global public health problem. The management of cardiovascular emergencies is urgent due to the immediate life-threat.. Indeed, cardiovascular emergencies are responsible for 12 million deaths a year worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa, its prevalence and burden are still poorly understood. Our study aimed to determine the prevalence and etiologies of cardiovascular emergencies.
Material And Methods: We conducted a 12-month prospective study from May 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015 at the Emergency Department of CHU Gabriel Touré, Bamako. It Included all patients aged ≥ 15 years old (y.o) hospitalized for cardiovascular emergency during the study period. The data were collected in a questionnaire and analyzed with EPI - info French version 6.04.
Results: During this study, we collected 510 cases of cardiovascular emergency from 21600 ER admission, a prevalence of 1.2%.The average age was 57.07y.o ± 17.17. The female gender predominated with 57.3% with a sex ratio of 0.7. Patients had a low socio-economic status in 62.6% with 33% cases of unemployment. .Patients arrived in a taxi in 71.2% of the cases and they came right at the onset of the symptoms between 8 P.M and 12 A.M.28.7%Dyspnea was the most frequent reason for consultation with 23.7%. High blood pressure (HTA) was the most common cardiovascular risk factor with 54 % (Table I).Stroke was the most common diagnosis with 51.4% followed by global heart failure (15.1%) and coronary syndrome (10.1%) (Table II). The overall mortality rate was 23.3% (Table III).
Conclusion: The frequency and burden of cardiovascular emergencies are still underestimated due to the lack or scarcity of diagnostic tools.

Osteoporotic fractures are a major public health concern, particularly among the aging population, as they significantly contribute to morbidity, mortality, and reduced quality of life. While cardiovascular health (CVH) has traditionally been linked to cardiovascular disease outcomes, emerging evidence suggests it may also influence bone health. This study investigates the association between CVH, as measured by the Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score, and the prevalence of osteoporotic fractures in U.

The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing as society ages. The details of AD pathogenesis have not been fully elucidated, and a comprehensive gene expression analysis of the process leading up to the onset of AD would be helpful for understanding the mechanism. We performed an RNA sequencing analysis on a cohort of 1227 Japanese blood samples, representing 424 AD patients, 543 individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 260 cognitively normal (CN) individuals.

Pediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is emerging as a worldwide health concern with the potential to advance to cirrhosis and liver cancer. NAFLD can also directly contribute to heart problems through inflammation and insulin resistance, even in individuals without other risk factors. The pathological mechanisms of NAFLD are linked to functional differences of miRNAs in different biological environments.

Targeted therapies, consisting of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) or BCL-2 inhibitors, are the mainstay of contemporary treatments for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). The most common adverse effects (AEs) of BTKis are fatigue, bruising, infection, hematological and cardiovascular AEs. While AEs during treatment are usually mild (grades 1 and 2), grade 3 and 4 AEs have been detected in some patients, necessitating additional medical care and temporary or permanent drug discontinuation.
