Key Sessions on cardiac arrhythmias, presented at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2026 conference held in New Orelans, LA from 28th March to 30th March 2026
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)
10 Apr, 26Obesity.
- As per the analysis of 15 RCTs (14,059 adults non-diabetics), all GLP 1 agents reduced weight vs placebo
- Tirzepatide showed greatest efficacy: max dose yielded largest loss, followed by 15 mg, 10 mg, semaglutide 2.4 mg, tirzepatide 5 mg, & liraglutide 3 mg
- Adverse events were higher with tirzepatide & semaglutide but not with liraglutide
- Tirzepatide proved to be the most effective FDA-approved option for weight lo...
