Mashup Score: 9Diagnosing Still's disease - 9 hour(s) ago
A 36-year-old woman had dyspnoea on exertion, with intermittent chest tightness. Laboratory results were all within the normal range, including serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, trig lycerides, troponin, and c-reactive protein concentrations. A chest radiograph showed no abnormalities. Electrocardiogram during the treadmill test showed ST segment depression in the inferior leads. Coronary angiography showed coronary ectasia and triple vessel disease. What is the most probable diagnosis?

The importance of skeletal muscle mass is increasingly being recognised in the medical field.1 The crucial roles of skeletal muscle have come to the forefront of public attention due to data on the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists, which are effective for weight loss, but can cause substantial muscle loss. Studies suggest muscle loss with these medications (as indicated by decreases in fat-free mass [FFM]) ranges from 25% to 39% of the total weight lost over 36–72 weeks.2 This substantial muscle loss can be largely attributed to the magnitude of weight loss, rather than by an independent effect of GLP-1 receptor agonists, although this hypothesis must be tested.

Our analysis confirms the continued existence of different Americas within the USA. One’s life expectancy varies dramatically depending on where one lives, the economic conditions in that location, and one’s racial and ethnic identity. This gulf was large at the beginning of the century, only grew larger over the first two decades, and was dramatically exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. These results underscore the vital need to reduce the massive inequity in longevity in the USA, as well as the benefits of detailed analyses of the interacting drivers of health disparities to fully understand the nature of the problem.

Mashup Score: 281The Lancet Series on Antimicrobial Resistance: The need for sustainable access to effective antibiotics - 2 day(s) ago
Access to effective antibiotics is essential to every health system in the world, however, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens this backbone of modern medicine and is already leading to deaths and disease which would have once been prevented. This Series highli ghts that, although AMR can affect anyone throughout the life course, the very young, very old and severely ill are the ones suffering the most. Through novel modelling data, this Series shows how stopping infections through improved vaccinatio

Mashup Score: 23The next 1000 days: the forgotten ages of child health - 2 day(s) ago
The story of child and adolescent health over the past 25 years is one of clear but sometimes stalled progress, followed by the catastrophically negative impact of COVID-19, from which many children’s lives have not recovered. It started with a focus on reducing mortality in children younger than 5 years, which almost halved, from 9·9 million deaths in 2000, to 5·3 million in 2019. It then expanded to include ensuring that children and adolescents fulfil their cognitive developmental potential through tackling poverty, providing nurturing care (ie, health, nutrition, responsive caregiving, safety and security, and early learning), and focusing on a life-course approach.
