Changes in magnesium, zinc and calcium in men and women after an acute myocardial infarction.

Published: September 1987

The relations between different elements in acute myocardial infarction (MI) led us to determine erythrocyte (Erc) and/or plasma (Pl) concentrations of magnesium (Erc-Mg; Pl-Mg), zinc (Erc-Zn; Pl-Zn) and calcium (Pl-Ca) in 34 men and 8 women upon admission to hospital and then on days 2, 3, 6, 10 and 12. On day 1, these two groups were compared with 58 reference men or 53 reference women. The changes in the different variables from day 1 to day 12 were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. In MI men, from day 1 to day 12, all cations were significantly modified. In MI women, only Erc-Zn and Pl-Ca remained unchanged. In both populations, Pl-Mg, Erc-Mg and Pl-Zn increased significantly between day 1 and day 12.

Background: Liver malignancies present substantial challenges to surgeons due to the extensive hepatic resections required, frequently resulting in posthepatectomy liver failure. Associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) was designed to increase the resectable liver volume, yet it is associated with significant mortality and morbidity rates. Recently, minimally invasive techniques have been incorporated into ALPPS, with the potential to improve the procedure's safety profile whilst maintaining efficacy.

Severity and Long-Term Mortality of COVID-19, Influenza, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus.

JAMA Intern Med

January 2025

Research and Development, Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System, Seattle, Washington.

Importance: SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) contribute to many hospitalizations and deaths each year. Understanding relative disease severity can help to inform vaccination guidance.

Objective: To compare disease severity of COVID-19, influenza, and RSV among US veterans.

Importance: There are no validated decision rules for terminating resuscitation during in-hospital cardiac arrest. Decision rules may guide termination and prevent inappropriate early termination of resuscitation.

Objective: To develop and validate termination of resuscitation rules for in-hospital cardiac arrest.

Introduction: Large administrative healthcare databases can be used for near real-time sequential safety surveillance of drugs as an alternative approach to traditional reporting-based pharmacovigilance. The study aims to build and empirically test a prospective drug safety monitoring setup and perform a sequential safety monitoring of rofecoxib use and risk of cardiovascular outcomes.

Methods: We used Danish population-based health registers and performed sequential analysis of rofecoxib use and cardiovascular outcomes using case-time-control and cohort study designs from January 2000 to September 2004.

The biochemical composition of sediments, which depends on the origin of the organic matter (OM), is decisive in methane (CH) production. This study aimed to determine the CH produced under anaerobic conditions from different substrates: native reservoir sediments and sediments with the addition of complex OM from Microcystis spp. blooms and terrestrial plants (pasture), alongside the biochemical characterization of the substrates used.
