Introduction: Incidence rates (IRs) of RV dysfunction (RVD) are unknown. We examined the rates, risk factors, and heart failure (HF) hospitalization hazard associated with incident RVD in patients referred for Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE).
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we extracted tricuspid regurgitant velocity (TRV) and tricuspid annular systolic plane excursion (TAPSE) from TTEs at Vanderbilt (2010-2023).

Hospital CEO salaries have grown quickly over the past two decades. We investigate correlates of rising nonprofit hospital CEO pay between 2012 and 2019 by merging compensation data from Candid's IRS 990 forms with hospital data from the National Academy for State Health Policy Hospital Cost Tool. Almost half of the measured increase in CEO compensation (44.

Introduction: Iris retraction syndrome (IRS) is a rare clinical condition characterized by a backbowing of the iris positioned on the lens with a complete pupillary block. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a new class of immunomodulating agents used in cancer therapy, and although they have high response rates, ophthalmic-related side effects have been reported. We report a rare case of bilateral IRS with hypotony after therapy with nivolumab.

Aims: The primary objectives were to investigate the incidence rate (IR) of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Sardinian children aged 0-14 years in 2019-2022 and to examine the temporal trend from 1989-1999.
Methods: Data from new-onset T1D patients aged 0-14 years who were residents of Sardinia were collected from all pediatric diabetology clinics. The overall, sex- and age specific (groups 0-4, 5-9, and 10-14 years), and calendar year IRs were calculated.

Introduction: Exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can increase the risk of severe cardiovascular events.
Objective: Assess the crude incidence rates (IR) of cardiovascular events and the impact of exacerbations on the risk of cardiovascular events within different time periods following an exacerbation.
Methods: COPD patients aged ≥45 years between 01/01/2015 and 12/31/2018 were identified from the Fondazione Ricerca e Salute administrative database.
