AI Article Synopsis
- The evidence suggests that many COVID-19 related deaths might have occurred eventually due to existing health issues (co-morbidities) in individuals.
- The concept of "accelerated mortality" is introduced, indicating that the virus has hastened deaths that might have happened later.
- The study aims to create a revised Charlson Comorbidity Index to better predict future death rates linked to COVID-19, factoring in the specific contributions of different co-morbidities.
Article Abstract
The empirical evidence from different countries point out many of those who die from coronavirus would have died anyway in the relatively near future due to their existing frailties or co-morbidities. The of the mortality conceives the underlying insight according to deaths are "accelerated" ahead of schedule due to COVID-19. Starting from this idea, we forecast the future mortality acceleration, based on the deterioration due to the presence of the comorbidities at COVID-19 diagnosis. Accordingly, we explicitly determine the contribution of each comorbidity on the acceleration forecasting, showing the future trend of the excess of deaths due to the COVID-19. To this aim, our proposal consists in developing a revised Charlson Comorbidity Index in a stochastic environment. Based on a post-stratification scheme, we obtain an unbiased comorbidity index that varies by age, centered on the reference population.

BACKGROUND Vulvar melanoma during pregnancy is exceptionally rare. Hormonal and immunological changes in pregnancy have raised concerns about the potential for accelerated melanoma progression and poorer maternal outcomes. This case report describes an unusual presentation of vulvar melanoma in a pregnant patient, which rapidly progressed despite previous treatments, but resulted in a favorable fetal outcome.

Background: Clot waveform analysis (CWA) provides a global assessment of hemostasis and may be useful for patients with cirrhosis with complex hemostatic abnormalities. This study aimed to assess the association between prothrombin time (PT-) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT-) based CWA parameters and cirrhosis severity and prospectively evaluate the role of CWA in predicting mortality and acute decompensation (AD) over 1 year.
Methods: This prospective study included adult patients with cirrhosis between June 2021 and December 2023 at Chulalongkorn University Hospital.

Critical care medicine focuses on understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment approaches for life-threatening conditions, including sepsis, severe trauma/burns, hemorrhagic shock, heatstroke, and acute pancreatitis, all of which have high incidence rates. These conditions are primarily characterized by acute multi-organ dysfunction, with sudden onset, severe illness, and high mortality rates. Additionally, critical care treatment demands substantial medical resources, imposing significant economic burdens on patients' families and society.

Background: Identifying the clinical implications and modifiable and unmodifiable factors of aging requires the measurement of biological age (BA) and age gap.
Method: Leveraging the biomedical traits involved with physical measures, biochemical assays, genomic data, and cognitive functions from the healthy participants in the UK Biobank, we establish an integrative BA model consisting of multi‐dimensional indicators.
Result: Accelerated aging (age gap >3.
