A virus identical to or closely related to the viruses of the epidemic hemorrhagic fevers and/or nephropathia epidemica has been demonstrated serologically in rats from geographically separate areas of this country by three groups of investigators. This information suggests a previously unrecognized health threat that should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients initially seen with febrile illnesses and acute renal failure. The salient features of these viral diseases and the clues that should alert the clinician to seek serologic confirmation of Hantaan or an immunologically related virus are discussed herein.

Introduction: Blunt traumatic aortic injury (TAI) is a critical condition and a leading cause of mortality in trauma patients, often resulting from high-speed accidents. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) has developed into the preferred therapeutic approach due to its minimally invasive nature and promising outcomes. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of TEVAR for managing TAI over a 10-year period at a Level-1 trauma center.

The incidence of type 2 diabetes has risen globally, in parallel with the obesity epidemic and environments promoting a sedentary lifestyle and low-quality diet. There has been scrutiny of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) as a driver of type 2 diabetes, underscored by their increasing availability and intake worldwide, across countries of all incomes. This narrative review addresses the accumulated evidence from investigations of the trends in UPF consumption and the relationship with type 2 diabetes incidence.
