Comparison of Pediatric and Adult Firearm Deaths to Inform Violence Prevention at Pediatric Trauma Centers.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston, Galveston, Texas. Electronic address:
Introduction: Hospital-based violence intervention programs primarily target adults, raising questions about the effectiveness in preventing pediatric firearm deaths. We hypothesized that pediatric and adult firearm injury deaths are different enough to require unique intervention strategies.
Methods: Retrospective chart review was conducted of medical examiner and trauma center records of firearm-related deaths in the largest metropolitan county in Texas.
Echocardiographic index of left ventricular performance for prognostication in transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis: the central role of stroke volume index.
J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown)
February 2025
Cardiology Unit, Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria di Ferrara, Cona, Ferrara, Italy.
Introduction: Cardiac amyloidosis typically causes restrictive cardiomyopathy, in which the impairment of diastolic function is dominant. Echocardiography provides prognostic information through some important parameters: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS). However, LVEF often remains preserved despite disease progression, and GLS is not routinely performed as it is limited by suboptimal image quality.

Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues, University of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
This article presents the development and validation of the Short Phronesis Measure (SPM), a novel tool to assess Aristotelian phronesis (practical wisdom). Across three studies, using large, nationally representative samples from the UK and US (demographically matched to census data), we employed a systematic and rigorous methodology to examine the structure, reliability, and validity of the SPM. In Study 1a, exploratory factor analysis identified ten distinct, internally reliable components of phronesis, challenging the traditional four-component Aristotelian model.

J Med Microbiol
January 2025
Departamento de Bioqumica e Imunologia, Instituto de Cincias Biolgicas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais.
Apolipoprotein E (ApoE), especially the ApoE4 isotype, is suggested to influence the severity of respiratory viral infections; however, this association is still unclear. The presence of allele ε4 impacts the development of flu-like syndromes. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the Apo E4 isoform on the severity and duration of flu-like syndromes, including the coronavirus disease COVID-19.
