No Echo, No Problem? Predictors of Right Heart ...
In PE patients, clinical and imaging variables—specifically lactate, DBP, HR, age, and CTA findings—can reliably predict RHS in the absence of echocardiography. These can guide triage and management decisions when...

LqSOFA demonstrates stronger predictive performance than qSOFA, particularly for mortality. While qSOFA remains more specific, LqSOFA's higher sensitivity makes it more useful for early identification of high-risk septic patients. Future...

A(H5N1) infections in the U.S. have primarily caused mild illness, mostly conjunctivitis, in adults exposed to infected animals. No evidence of human-to-human transmission was found. PPE use was suboptimal, highlighting...
