Predicting Acute Cardiovascular Complications in COVID-19: Insights from a Specialized Cardiac Referral Department
CONCLUSIONS D-dimer and NT-proBNP, but not troponin T, are useful in differentiating CVDs in patients with COVID-19. ACS with COVID-19 increased in-hospital mortality independently from extent of lung involvement, while coexisting APE or AMyo did not.PMID:38644597 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.942612 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

Economic Evaluation of COVID-19 Screening Tests and Surveillance Strategies in Low-Income, Middle-Income, and High-Income Countries: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSIONS For the allocation budget for the COVID-19 surveillance test, it is essential to consider the incidence and mortality of the post-pandemic period in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries. A robust method to evaluate outcomes is needed to prevent increasing COVID-19 incidents earlier.PMID:38643358 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.943863 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

Comparison of Outcomes between Single-Level and Double-Level Corpectomy in Thoracolumbar Reconstruction: A Retrospective Study of 16 Patients Using Expandable Cages
CONCLUSIONS In our experience, expandable cages are useful in the restoration of different pathologies of the thoracolumbar trunk with low complication and revision rates. With expandable cages it is possible to achieve restoration of the Cobb angle, improvement in Nurick Grade and effective pain palliation.PMID:38641870 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.943797 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

Muscular Function Recovery from General Anesthesia in 132 Patients Undergoing Surgery with Acceleromyography, Combined Acceleromyography, and Ultrasonography, and without Monitoring Muscular Function
CONCLUSIONS The use of diaphragm ultrasound during the postoperative awakening phase of anesthesia can significantly reduce the incidence of RNMB. This method was non-inferior to the use of AMG during the entire perioperative period.PMID:38627942 | PMC:PMC11034390 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.942780 (Source: Medical Science Monitor)

Quality of Life of Chronic Heart Failure Patients During and After COVID-19: Observational Study Using EuroQoL-Visual Analogue Scales
CONCLUSIONS Understanding these implications can guide healthcare interventions for better management and support, particularly in the context of pre-existing chronic conditions exacerbated by acute infections like COVID-19. The results may prompt further research into the long-term effects of COVID-19 on individuals with chronic diseases, guiding future studies to explore specific interventions or preventive measures. QoL during the acute phase of COVID-19 infection is affected on a larger extent as compared to previous analysis in chronic heart failure patients. Larger studies with a longer time span can indicate the tim...
