Mashup Score: 1Focused Monitoring After Heart Failure Trials - 16 hour(s) ago
Cardiovascular death and hospitalization for heart failure (HF) are prevailing end points in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in patients who have HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The low incidence of cardiovascular death and hospitalization in recent RCTs contrasts with the 5-year mortality rate of 75.5% and readmission risk of 48.5% among hospitalized HFrEF patients, indicating enrollment of stable New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III patients.1,2 However, inclusive enrollment in RCTs may yield incomplete therapeutic information.

Mashup Score: 1Laryngeal Amyloidosis - 18 hour(s) ago
Amyloidosis is a disease characterized by abnormal extracellular deposition of fibrillar proteins in tissues that creates a chronic inflammatory response leading to local tissue injury. The larynx is estimated to be involved in up to 15% of all amyloidosis cases.1 Symptoms of amyloidosis are nonspecific, and the diagnosis is determined by the severity and laryngeal site involved. It typically presents with dysphonia, but patients can also have dyspnea, stridor, odynophagia, cough, and hemoptysis.

This is the first article of a 3-part series about physician health. In this installment, we outline the unique characteristics of physicians as patients, challenges and opportunities presented by physician-patients, and recommendations for treating physicians. Future articles will delve into role clarity, occupational considerations, mental health, and interactions with third parties such as the physician’s employer or licensing board. Ultimately, this series will help treating clinicians provide the best care to their physician-patients and successfully navigate the unique challenges that may arise, especially when the diagnosis may have an impact on their ability to practice medicine.

Sclerosing mesenteritis (SM), an idiopathic nonneoplastic condition affecting 0.18% to 3.14% of the population, is characterized by chronic fat necrosis, inflammation, and fibrosis most commonly of the mesentery of the small intestine. Sclerosing mesenteritis typically presents in the fifth or sixth decade of life, where patients with a history of abdominal surgery and/or autoimmune disease may be at higher risk. While many patients are asymptomatic, clinical features and complications are related to the mass effect resulting from the inflammation and fibrosis involved in the pathogenesis of SM.
