Background: Heart failure (HF), affecting 1-4% of adults in industrialized countries, is a major public health priority. Several algorithms based on administrative health data (HAD) have been developed to detect patients with HF in a timely and inexpensive manner, in order to perform real-world studies at the population level. However, their reported diagnostic accuracy is highly variable.

Prescription practice and yield of chest radiography in the management of children presenting to the French pediatric emergency department with non-traumatic chest pain.

Article Synopsis
- Chest pain is common in pediatric emergencies, with most causes being benign; however, chest x-rays (CXR) are frequently ordered despite low rates of abnormalities.
- A study reviewed medical records of 599 children to assess the adherence of physicians to guidelines for CXR usage, finding that 57.1% followed the recommended algorithm and only 8.2% had abnormal CXR results.
- The findings suggest the need for improved guidelines for CXR prescriptions based on specific clinical indicators of chest pain, as current practices may overuse this test despite its limited diagnostic value.

Article Synopsis
- - A 28-year-old man, naive to caffeine, collapsed after consuming 3 cans of an energy drink (480 mg of caffeine) post-football training, leading to successful CPR for ventricular fibrillation.
- - After resuscitation, the patient was placed in the ICU where tests revealed he had an undiagnosed condition called right ventricular dysplasia and he received a single chamber implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).
- - He recovered without neurological issues and was discharged 14 days later, highlighting the potential risks of energy drinks in individuals with undiagnosed heart conditions, regardless of their physical fitness.

There is a need to investigate the effect of lifestyle modifications on cardiometabolic health-related issues that occur during menopause. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of resistance and endurance circuit training program alone (exercise group, n = 34) with the effect of time-restricted eating (16:8) combined with a training program (combination group, n = 28) on cardiometabolic health in 62 menopausal women (aged 51.3 ± 4.
