Introduction: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is associated with poor quality of life and mortality in patients with tumors. In clinical practice, we observed that patients with malignant pleural effusion (MPE) and concurrent heart disease exhibited a decrease in MPE volumes following treatment with β-receptor blockers for heart disease. Immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment was found to play a substantial role in the progression of MPE, and mainly attributed to tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs).

However, the threshold value and clinical significance of time in target of resting heart rate (TTR-HR) remain insufficiently elucidated. Our study aimed to evaluate the independent association between TTR-HR and cardiovascular outcomes in the follow-up study of ACS.

Aims: We evaluated the safety, efficacy, and patient adherence to oral ANS-6637, a selective, reversible inhibitor of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2), for treating alcohol use disorder (AUD).
Methods: A 3-arm, double-blind, randomized, proof-of-concept human laboratory study embedded in a 5-week multisite clinical trial tested 200 mg and 600 mg daily doses of ANS-6637 compared to placebo in treatment-seeking adults with AUD. After 1 week of medication, participants completed an alcohol cue reactivity session.

Ticagrelor, an effective antiplatelet for acute coronary syndrome (ACS), may elevate serum uric acid (SUA), potentially causing gout. This study aims to identify risk factors for ticagrelor-induced in-hospital gout in patients with ACS and create a predictive model for clinical use.A total of 1164 patients with ACS treated with ticagrelor (n = 640) or clopidogrel (n = 524) were retrospectively analyzed.
