- The pooled analysis from INTERACT (n = 10,269) and ATACH-II (n = 1,000) determined the effectiveness of early intensive SBP control in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)
- Severe hypertensive group had the highest odds of death or disability, regardless of the BP-lowering strategy used
- This study highlights the importance of well-controlled but tailored SBP management strategies after ICH.
16 Apr, 26Clin. Infect. Dis.
- Meta-analysis of 6 studies (8533 cultures) compared arterial catheter–drawn with venipuncture or venous catheter blood cultures
- Arterial vs venipuncture showed similar contamination (2.1% vs 2.3%), with no increased risk
- Compared with venous catheters, arterial sampling had lower contamination (3.1% vs 8.0%)
- In critically ill patients, arterial catheter cultures appear potentially preferable.
15 Apr, 26BMC Infect Dis.
- Adults ≥18 y had much higher mod–sev HAV than children (69.5% vs 7.7%; aOR 8.42, 95% CI 3.21–22.08)
- Adults had higher hospitalisation rates and ALT/AST levels, despite similar viral loads
- Delayed exposure showed stronger CD8⁺ IFN γ ELISPOT responses and higher IFN γ/TNF α
- Kerala surveillance (34,118 cases) supports childhood HAV vaccination to prevent severe adult disease.
15 Apr, 26Lancet Psychiatry
- 36% (93/256) of patients with first episode psychosis relapsed within 2 years of follow up.
- Stressful life events after psychosis onset increased relapse risk (HR 2.60, 95% CI 1.63–4.16)
- Each additional stressful event increased relapse risk (HR 1.36) and relapse duration (IRR 1.52)
- Stressful events preceding relapse raised relapse odds (OR 3.82)
