What Percent of Incident Heart Failure Diagnoses Occur in Acute Care?
A considerable proportion of first heart failure diagnoses occur in the acute care setting, but many patients have potential symptoms in the six months prior to diagnosis.
VTE Risk Increased in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Venous thromboembolism occurred less often for those with Crohn disease versus ulcerative colitis.
Pfizer, Moderna to Expand Vaccine Studies in Young Children
Companies made the move after FDA told them that the initial size and scope of their studies were not enough to detect the rare side effects
Do Patients Benefit From Dalteparin Bridging in the Postoperative Period?
The efficacy of postoperative bridging with dalteparin vs placebo was evaluated in those with AF or mechanical heart valves when warfarin is temporarily interrupted for a surgical procedure.
Risk for Early-Onset Stroke With Methamphetamine Use

Risk Factors for VTE, ASCVD in Rheumatoid Arthritis
For patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), there are common risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and the risk for ASCVD is increased after unprovoked VTE.
Effectiveness Similar for First-Line ACE Inhibitors, ARBs in Hypertension
For patients with hypertension initiating treatment, effectiveness is comparable for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), but ARBs have a better safety profile.
LDL-C and CV Health Dependent on Age and Specified Endpoint
The researchers wanted to determine the value of LDL-C as a risk biomarker for coronary heart disease, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, and stroke events and deaths for people stratified by age.
Systolic Hypertension Without Atherosclerosis Increases Risk for Thyroid Cysts
The researchers believe the results of this study highlight the need for an effective screening tool for thyroid cysts among the general population.
Extended-Release Exenatide Approved for Adolescents With T2D
The expanded approval was based on data from a phase 3 study that evaluated exenatide extended-release in 82 patients aged 10 to 17 years with type 2 diabetes.
