Planes, Pathogens, and Passengers: Infection Risk During Commercial Air Travel

Although air travel has been linked to transmission of respiratory infections, the actual risk of becoming infected during air travel is low. The risk is greatest, though, when seated within about two seats/rows of a contagious individual. Walking around the cabin increases the risk.

Risk of Endocarditis Revisited

The authors of a population-wide study of hospitalizations and deaths from infective endocarditis (IE) in England confirmed the high risk of IE in certain cardiac conditions, but showed that other conditions thought to be low risk also are at higher risk and found new higher-risk categories not previously identified.

Acute Pericarditis or Something Else?

Does the ECG included with this article suggest either acute pericarditis or acute infarction? What key piece of information is missing from the history? How would you interpret the tracing?

Combined Treatments with Medications for Hypertension and Hyperlipidemia Dramatically Reduce the Risk of Stroke

In this real-world study, fixed-dose candesartan/hydrochlorothiazide combined with low-dose rosuvastatin reduced first stroke by 44% in patients at intermediate risk of cardiovascular disease and was well tolerated, with minimum dropout of patients.

The Pulmonary Embolism Rule-out Criteria in Low-risk Patients

A cluster randomized trial of the pulmonary embolism rule-out criteria (PERC) compared to usual care for patients estimated to be at low risk of pulmonary embolus (PE) in EDs showed that PERC was non-inferior to usual care at identifying patients who would be free of symptomatic PE at three months, resulting in less use of healthcare resources.
