Background: This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) toward coronary heart disease (CHD) secondary prevention among CHD patients.

Methods: This web-based cross-sectional study enrolled patients with CHD who visited the Yangpu District Central Hospital in Shanghai (China) between October 18, 2022, and March 25, 2023. The administered questionnaire assessed demographic information and KAP; factors associated with good practice were identified by multivariate logistic regression.

Importance: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often undiagnosed. Although genetic risk plays a significant role in COPD susceptibility, its utility in guiding spirometry testing and identifying undiagnosed cases is unclear.

Objective: To determine whether a COPD polygenic risk score (PRS) enhances the identification of undiagnosed COPD beyond a case-finding questionnaire (eg, the Lung Function Questionnaire) using conventional risk factors and respiratory symptoms.

Calciphylaxis is a rare and potentially fatal condition involving chronic, nonhealing wounds caused by microvascular calcification. There is currently no approved treatment for calciphylaxis, contributing to its devastating impacts on quality of life. In this case series, the authors highlight instances of potentially misdiagnosed calciphylaxis in a cohort of patients and emphasize the importance of accurate diagnosis through multidisciplinary management approaches.

Background: The accurate and prompt diagnosis of infections is essential for improving patient outcomes and preventing bacterial drug resistance. Host gene expression profiling as an approach to infection diagnosis holds great potential in assisting early and accurate diagnosis of infection.

Methods: To improve the precision of infection diagnosis, we developed InfectDiagno, a rank-based ensemble machine learning algorithm for infection diagnosis via host gene expression patterns.
