Survival benefit of deceased donor kidney transplantation versus continued dialysis: international target trial emulation

Abstract Objective To quantify the survival benefit of deceased donor kidney transplantation versus continued dialysis according to patients’ characteristics (age, diabetes, cardiovascular disease), donor quality (standard criteria donor or expanded criteria donor) and donor retr...

Cardiovascular Effects of Chronic GIPR and GLP-1R Agonism in Lean and Diet-Induced Obese Mice: Sex Differences and Dose-Dependent Remodeling

Glucose‑dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon‑like peptide‑1 (GLP‑1) regulate metabolism and are increasingly targeted in therapies for type 2 diabetes and obesity. Although GLP‑1 receptor agonists confer cardiovascular benefits, the cardiovascular effects of GI...

Optimisation of an Algorithm for Fetal Strain by CMR and its Use in Suspected Coarctation of the Aorta

Abstract Prenatal diagnosis of coarctation of the aorta (CoA) remains challenging, with low detection rates and high false positive rates. It is unknown whether fetuses that develop postnatal CoA (true CoA) exhibit impaired ventricular strain prenatally or whether fetal cardiac m...

International consensus guidance for general population screening for islet autoantibodies to diagnose early-stage type 1 diabetes: a nominal group technique process

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that targets and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic islets. The incidence of type 1 diabetes is rising globally. At the clinical diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, between 20% and 67% of children and adolescents present wit...

Disease-activity-linked complement-coagulation interactions and persistent platelet activation in treatment-naïve systemic lupus erythematosus

Background Thrombosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Although multiple prothrombotic pathways have been identified, most have been studied individually or after treatment initiation. We aimed to characterize interactions between...

Non‐contrast CT Markers of Hematoma Expansion and Andexanet Response in Factor Xa Inhibitor‐Associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage: An Analysis from ANNEXa ‐I Trial

In this post hoc analysis of the ANNEXa-I trial (n = 434), we evaluated non-contrast computed tomography (NCCT) markers of hematoma expansion (HE) in factor Xa inhibitor (FXai) -associated intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). At least one NCCT marker was present in 72.1%, and HE (≥12....

Metoprolol in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease without Cardiovascular Disease

BACKGROUND: Beta-blockers may improve outcomes in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) without cardiovascular disease, but randomized trials have been inconclusive. METHODS: This was a multicenter, open-label, pragmatic, phase 4 randomized trial. Patients 40...

FOR-HEALTH: study protocol for a randomized controlled feasibility trial of Structured Health Dialogues to improve lifestyle habits and metabolic health in forensic psychiatric inpatients

Abstract Background People with severe mental illness demonstrate markedly reduced life expectancy, largely due to preventable cardiometabolic disease. This burden is particularly pronounced in compulsory forensic psychiatric care, where prolonged inpatient stays, restrictive env...

Food choices and beliefs in adults with inflammatory bowel disease in Sweden

Abstract Objectives Diet is a recognised risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and a management strategy. Concerns persist regarding the adverse effects of restrictive diets, including nutritional deficiencies and selective eating. The impact of IBD on patients’ belief...

Bladder cancer precision-cut tumor slices (PCTS) preserve functional immune microenvironment enabling ex vivo drug evaluation

Abstract Background The development of effective cancer immunotherapies is hindered by the lack of preclinical models that faithfully preserve tumor-immune interactions. Current approaches provide limited representation of immune components, creating a critical translational gap...

Response-Tailored or Standard-Duration Antibiotic Treatment for Infective Endocarditis

BACKGROUND: In patients with infective endocarditis on the left side of the heart, the current recommendation of up to 6 weeks of antibiotic therapy is based largely on expert consensus opinion. Whether a clinical response-tailored antibiotic management strategy can shorten treat...
