3% and 27.2% of myocarditis and pericarditis cases, respectively. A bimodal pattern was found for both myocarditis and pericarditis, with two peaks that coincided temporally, but were reversed in intensity. The first peak was recorded 1-3days post-vaccination and was more pronounced in myocarditis, while the second was recorded 15-30days post-vaccination and was more intense in pericarditis.
Myocarditis/pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination is rare and depicts a bimodal pattern.

To examine the efficacy of digital health interventions (DHI) versus standard of care among patients with prior heart failure (HF) hospitalization.
An electronic search of MEDLINE, Cochrane, OVID, CINHAL and ERIC, databases was performed through August 2021 for randomized clinical trials that evaluated the outcomes with DHI among patients with HF. Data were pooled using the random-effects model. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality.
10 randomized trials were included in our analysis, with a total of 7204 patients and a weighted follow up duration of 15.6months. Compared with the reference group, patients in the DHI group had lower all-cause mortality (8.5% vs. 10.2%, risk ratio-RR 0.80; 95% confidence interval-CI 0.66 to 0.96; P=0.02), as well as lower cardiovascular mortality (7.3% vs. 9.6%, RR 0.76; 95% CI 0.62 to 0.94; P=0.01). There was no significant difference in HF-related hospitalizations (23.4% vs. 26.2%, RR 0.82; 95% CI 0.66 to 1.02; P=0.07) and all-cause hospitalizations (48.3% vs. 49.9%, RR 0.89; 95% CI 0.77 to 1.03; P=0.11) in the DHI versus reference groups. Patients in the DHI group had fewer days lost due to HF-related hospitalizations (mean difference-MD -1.77; 95% CI -3.06,-0.48, p=0.01; I
=51), but similar days lost to all-cause hospitalizations (MD -0.76; 95% CI -3.07,-1.55, p=0.52; I
=69) compared with patients in the reference group.
Compared with usual care, DHI among patients with HF provided significant reduction of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality and had fewer total days lost to HF hospitalizations. There were no differences in all-cause hospitalizations, and HF hospitalizations.

In the United States, African Americans (AAs) have greater risk for Class III obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Previous reports suggest that AAs have a different immune cell profile when compared to Caucasians.
The immune cell profile of AAs was characterized by flow cytometry using two experimental setups ex vivo (N=40) and in vitro (N=10). For ex vivo experiments, PBMC were treated with participant serum to understand how lipid contents may contribute to monocyte phenotypic differences. For in vitro experiments, monocytes were low-density lipoprotein (LDL)- or vehicle-treated for four hours and subsequently analyzed by flow cytometry and RT-qPCR.
When PBMCs were treated with participant sera, subsequent multivariable regression analysis revealed that serum triglycerides and LDL levels were associated with monocyte subset differences. In vitro LDL treatment of monocytes induced a phenotypic switch in monocytes away from classical monocytes accompanied by subset-specific chemokine receptor CCR2 and CCR5 expression changes. These observed changes are partially translation-dependent as determined by co-incubation with cycloheximide.
LDL treatment of monocytes induces a change in monocyte subsets and increases CCR2/CCR5 expression in a subset-specific manner. Understanding the molecular mechanisms could prove to have CVD-related therapeutic benefits, especially in high-risk populations with hyperlipidemia and increased risk for CVD.

The differentiation of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a recurring issue during cardiac imaging processes; thus, we aimed to compare the left ventricular (LV) cardiac MRI characteristics of these patients.
Thirty-one nonischemic DCM patients, 42 LVNC patients with reduced ejection fraction and 42 healthy controls were included in this retrospective study. LV volumetric, functional and myocardial mass parameters were measured with a threshold-based technique, while global and segmental strain values and rotational patterns were analyzed with feature-tracking strain analysis.
Of the LV volumetric and myocardial mass parameters, only the trabeculated and papillary muscle mass (TPMi) values differed significantly between the patient groups and were higher in the LVNC group (DCM vs LVNC 43.2±8.9 vs 51.6±13.6g/m
, p<0.002). The global longitudinal and circumferential strains were similar between the patient groups and significantly worse than those of the controlss might be due to the morphological characteristics of LVNC with a trabeculated apical region.The mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccines were brought to market in response to the public health crises of Covid-19. The utilization of mRNA vaccines in the context of infectious disease has no precedent. The many alterations in the vaccine mRNA hide the mRNA from cellular defenses and promote a longer biological half-life and high production of spike protein. However, the immune response to the vaccine is very different from that to a SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this paper, we present evidence that vaccination induces a profound impairment in type I interferon signaling, which has diverse adverse consequences to human health. Immune cells that have taken up the vaccine nanoparticles release into circulation large numbers of exosomes containing spike protein along with critical microRNAs that induce a signaling response in recipient cells at distant sites. We also identify potential profound disturbances in regulatory control of protein synthesis and cancer surveillance. These disturbances potentially have a causal link to neurodegenerative disease, myocarditis, immune thrombocytopenia, Bell's palsy, liver disease, impaired adaptive immunity, impaired DNA damage response and tumorigenesis. We show evidence from the VAERS database supporting our hypothesis.

Human colon (HT29), liver (HepG2) and bone marrow (KG1) carcinoma cells were used and strong cell line dependent differences in toxic effect strength were found. HepG2 and KG1 cells were more sensitive against nevadensin treatment in comparison to HT29 cells. High resolution mass spectrometry experiments showed that nevadensin is rapidly glucuronidated in HT29 cells, whereas KG1 cells do not metabolize nevadensin, thus glucuronidation was supposed to be a crucial metabolic pathway in vitro. To proof this suggestion, nevadensin glucuronides were isolated from pig liver microsomes und structurally elucidated via NMR spectroscopy. In HepG2 cells a cellular enrichment of nevadensin itself as well as nevadensin-7-O-glucuronide was determined by tandem mass spectrometry. A proteomic screening of uridine 5'-diphospho (UDP)-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) in HT29 and HepG2 cells provided first hints that the isoforms UGT1A6 and UGT1A1 are responsible for nevadensin glucuronidation. Additionally, nevadensin was found to be a potent SULT inhibitor in HepG2 cells. In sum, the present study clearly illustrates the importance of obtaining detailed information about metabolic competence of cell lines which should be considered in the evaluation of toxic endpoints.Sunset yellow is a synthetic azo colorant widely used in food and beverages. Excessive consumption of sunset yellow can lead to health risks, so it is necessary to establish an efficient and low-cost test. Electrochemical sensor has become a potential analytical method because of its high sensitivity and rapidity. Due to the rapid development of materials science, the detection limit of electrochemical sensors has been further reduced. In this work, we use two bibliometrics software to analyze the topic of electrochemical detection of sunset yellow. A total of 194 papers participated in the bibliometrics analysis. The country, institution and year in which the paper was published were analyzed to understand the cooperation model and development history of the topic. At the same time, this work also analyzes the keywords and categories of the paper. The research directions and hot spots in different stages of this topic are discussed. Finally, we summarized and proposed perspectives of this topic through bibliometrics results.
To determine the glycaemic control and associated factors among patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus on tiered metformin monotherapy over one-year.
Adult Asian patients on metformin monotherapy with tiered dosage up-titration (low<500mg/day; medium 500-<1000mg/day and high≥1000mg/day) are divided into four sub-cohorts based on their baseline HbA1c<7%(C
); 7%-<8%(C
); 8%-<9%(C
) and≥9%(C
). The HbA1c absolute reduction, time to reach glycaemic control (HbA1c<7%), and time from glycaemic control to failure (HbA1c≥7%) after the dosage up-titration were the outcomes.
Among 5503 eligible patients (mean age=64.9years, 45.6% males and 74.6% Chinese), the HbA1c absolute reduction after the up-titration at three months are 0%, 0.4%-0.6%, 0.8%-1.2% and 2.0%-2.1% for C

and C
respectively. The median time (months) to attain glycaemic control for low, medium and high dosage up-titration were 4, 3, 3(C
); 12, 7, 4(C
); NA, 7, 7(C
). Within twelve months after the goal attainment, 36.2%(C
), 48.8%(C
), 52.7%(C
) and 45.3%(C
) of patients had treatment failure.
The results show that the baseline HbA1c and tiered metformin dosage up-titration are associated with disproportionate HbA1c reduction, time to glycaemic control and time from glycaemic control to failure.

Diabetes is a major health problem in Bangladesh, but nationally representative studies on its trends and associated factors are scarce to guide policy formulation. Therefore, the study aims to determine trends in the prevalence and associated factors of prediabetes and diabetes in Bangladesh.
The study included two population-based cross-sectional surveys from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (n=7,505 in 2011 and n=11,959 in 2017-18). Chi-square association tests were performed to determine the associated factors. Logistic regression models (univariate and multivariable) were used to estimate unadjusted and adjusted relative risks of having diabetes, reported with odds ratios. Age-adjusted prevalence was also reported for both surveys.
The overall age-adjusted prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes decreased from 52.77% (95% CI 52.61-52.92) and 10.43% (95% CI 10.33-10.53) in 2011 to 34.10% (95% CI 33.43-34.78) and 8.50% (95% CI 8.11-8.90) in 2017-18. Compared to males, females had a higher odds of diabetes in 2011, but in 2017-18 a significant inverse result was observed.
