EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial was a randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority trial of patients with type 2 diabetes and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease done between August 2010 and April 2015. For outcomes significantly reduced, risk reductions were numerically larger for total events than for first events. Total fatal or non-fatal stroke was not significantly different between treatment groups in the pooled empag liflozin group.

Artificial Intelligence–Enabled Assessment of the Heart Rate Corrected QT Interval Using a Mobile Electrocardiogram Device

Heart rate–corrected QT interval (QTc) prolongation can predispose to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Currently, QTc assessment and monitoring rely on 12-lead electrocardiography. We sought to train and validate an artificial intelligence (AI)–enabled. It could be cost-effective.

Parents’ Experiences of Having a Young Child With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in China

parents’ experiences are a prerequisite to developing interventions that are sensitive to the needs of children and families. Little is known about parental experiences of having a young child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia Ten parents, recruited in central China using purposive sampling, participated face-to-face. Support services to strengthen specific families' protective factors are needed. Public education and advocacy about cancer are also necessary to decrease cancer-related stigma and

SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence worldwide: a systematic review and meta-analysis

SARS-CoV-2 has been arguably the most important public health concern worldwide in 2020. We used a random-effects model to estimate pooled seroprevalence and then extrapolated the findings to the global population (for 2020) This study showed that SARS- virus-2 seroprevalence varied markedly among geographic regions, as might be expected early in a pandemic.

Propofol vs midazolam plus fentanyl for upper gastrointestinal endomicroscopy: a randomized trial

There were significantly more good quality endomicroscopic images in the propofol group than in the M/F group. The diagnostic accuracy for upper gastrointestinal mucosal lesions favors the P group. Adverse events and patient assessment were not significantly different for M/f vs propofols.

Prevalence and risk factors for delirium in critically ill patients with COVID-19 (COVID-D): a multicentre cohort study

750 000 patients with COVID-19 worldwide have required mechanical ventilation and thus are at high risk of acute brain dysfunction. Benzodiazepine use and lack of family visitation were identified as modifiable risk factors for delirium.

The impact of wire caliber on ERCP outcomes: a multicenter randomized controlled trial of 0.025-inch and 0.035-inch guidewires

Wire-guided biliary cannulation has been demonstrated to improve cannulation rates and reduce post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) This study compares successful cannulation. rates and ERCP adverse events by using a 0.025-inch and 0.035-inch guidewire. The primary outcomes of the study were successful wire-guided cannulation and the incidence of PEP.
