Aims: Early identification and management of worsening heart failure (HF) is necessary to prevent disease progression and hospitalizations. The ALLEVIATE-HF (Algorithm Using LINQ Sensors for Evaluation and Treatment of Heart Failure) trial is a prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blind, multicentre trial that aims to assess the safety and efficacy of using the Reveal LINQ™ insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) in patients with HF to continuously monitor and evaluate HF risk status and guide timely interventions.
Methods: The ICM algorithm uses parameters derived from electrocardiogram (atrial fibrillation [AF], ventricular rate during AF, heart rate variability, and night heart rate), three-axis accelerometer (patient activity duration), and subcutaneous bioimpedance (fluid volume, respiration rate).

For mammalian spermatogenesis to proceed normally, it is essential that the population of testicular progenitor cells, A undifferentiated spermatogonia (A), undergoes differentiation during the A to A1 transition that occurs at the onset of spermatogenesis. The commitment of the A population to differentiation and leaving a quiescent, stem-like state gives rise to all the spermatozoa produced across the lifespan of an individual, and ultimately determines male fertility. The action of all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) on the A population is the determining factor that induces this change.

This survey was conducted to examine current global obesity care and perceptions influencing care delivery among HCPs and healthcare decision makers (HC DMs).
Methods: A survey with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 1200 HCPs (primary care providers, endocrinologists, cardiologists, and nurses) and 414 HC DMs from eight countries across five continents.
