Prevalence of cardiometabolic co-morbidities in patients with persons without chronic hepatitis B: The FitLiver cohort study.
World J Hepatol
January 2025
Department of Infectious Diseases, Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre, Denmark.
Background: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) affects > 300 million people worldwide. The combination of CHB and cardiometabolic co-morbidities increases the risk of liver-related morbidity and mortality. However, international guidelines for CHB treatment do not provide recommendations for follow-up examinations or treatment of patients with CHB and cardiometabolic comorbidities.

Department of Cardiology, Peking University First Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: Wearables satisfactorily detect atrial fibrillation (AF) longer than 1 hour. Our study aims to evaluate smartwatch performances for long-term AF monitoring, including AF with short durations.
Methods: This prospective study enrolled AF patients from 2020 to 2023.
Impact of reporting rapid susceptibility results in Gram negative bloodstream infections: a real world prospective study.
Eur J Clin Microbiol Infect Dis
January 2025
Laboratory of Medical Microbiology, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium.
Purpose: Mortality and morbidity of patients with bloodstream infection (BSI) remain high despite advances in diagnostic methods and efforts to speed up reporting. This study investigated the impact of reporting rapid Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)-results in Gram negative BSIs with the ASTar system (Q-linea, Uppsala, Sweden) on the adaptation of empirically started antimicrobial therapy. We performed a real-world study during which antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results were instantly reported to the treating physician in an established multidisciplinary antimicrobial stewardship setting.

January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Neurocenter of South Switzerland, Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale, Lugano, Switzerland.
Introduction: Intensive research is dedicated to the development of novel biomaterials and medical devices to be used as grafts in reconstructive surgery, with the purpose of enhancing their therapeutic effectiveness, safety, and durability. A variety of biomaterials, from autologous bone to polymethylmetacrylate, polyether ether ketone, titanium, and calcium-based ceramics are used in cranioplasty. Porous hydroxyapatite (PHA) is reported as a possible material for bone reconstruction, with good signs of biocompatibility, osteoconductive and osteointegrative properties.
