A group of 30 consecutive HLA-B27 positive acute anterior uveitis (AAU) patients was compared to 30 consecutive HLA-B27 negative AAU patients. The B27 positive group was characterized by male preponderance, earlier age of onset, unilateral uveitis and favourable outcome with therapy. It is concluded that HLA-B27 typing is a useful diagnostic discriminant in AAU.

Stress hyperglycaemia ratio is an independent predictor of in-hospital heart failure among patients with anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord

Prince Faisal bin Khalid Cardiac Centre, Abha, Saudi Arabia.
Background: Stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) has been reported to be independently and significantly associated with various adverse cardiovascular events as well as mortality. Moreover, in-hospital heart failure following acute myocardial infarction has been demonstrated to account for majority of all heart failure (HF) cases with anterior myocardial infarction showing higher rates of HF. However, the association between SHR and in-hospital HF following an anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been reported earlier.

Background/aims: The purpose of this study is to define genetic factors associated with anterior uveitis through genome-wide association study (GWAS).
Methods: In this GWAS meta-analysis, we combined data from the FinnGen, Estonian Biobank and UK Biobank with a total of 12 205 anterior uveitis cases and 917 145 controls. We performed a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) to investigate associations across phenotypes and traits.

Objective: To assess muscle loss via ultrasound in the elderly and its link to clinical outcomes and risk factors.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study assessed muscle loss in hospitalized elderly via ultrasound, comparing bilateral anterior thigh thickness (BATT) at admission and after seven days, exploring its relation to hospital-acquired complications (HACs).
Results: In 86 patients (mean age 83.
Reversible right bundle branch block caused by spasm of the anterior septal branch: case report.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
December 2024
Departmentof Cardiology, Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital, Wuhan, China.
Background: Coronary Artery Spasm (CAS) often presents in the epicardial coronary arteries. The anterior septal branch is distributed within the myocardium, and occurrences of spasms are rare. Currently, there is no available literature on this topic, and the onset of symptoms remains elusive, potentially leading to misdiagnosis.

Biomimetics (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Medicine and Surgery, University of Perugia, 06132 Perugia, Italy.
The use of minimalist shoes can lead to enhanced foot somatosensory activation and postural stability but can also increase the incidence of overuse injuries during high-impact or prolonged activities. Therefore, it appears useful to explore new strategies that employ minimalist shoes to effectively facilitate the somatosensory activation of the foot while minimizing acute and cumulative joint stress and risk of injury. To this purpose, this study introduces a novel exercise paradigm: walking for three minutes in ultra-minimalist shoes on artificial flat surfaces designed to mimic highly rugged natural terrains.
