4 May, 26Heart Rhythm.
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases risk of stroke and cognitive decline; in 19,533 participants, cognitive impairment occurred in 27% no AF/no stroke, 41% no AF/stroke, 31% AF/no stroke, 43% AF/stroke (p<0.0001)
- Females with AF/no stroke had higher risk (HR 1.18), stroke predicted cognitive decline in males with AF (HR 2.33) & without AF (HR 1.65)
- Sex-specific differences underscore tailored risk stratification.
29 Apr, 26Lancet Psychiatry.
- National cohort of 95,490 patients with diabetes and depression/anxiety, 59.7% female.
- GLP 1 receptor agonists lowered worsening mental illness (aHR 0.58 vs non use) and overall reduced self harm.
- Risks fell for depression (0.56), anxiety (0.62) and substance use disorder (0.53).
- Findings suggest potential dual metabolic–psychiatric benefit, pending RCTs.

- Consensus guideline standardizes diagnosis of faltering weight using z scores.
- Criteria include low anthropometrics, slow infant weight gain, or significant downward growth trends.
- Diagnostic testing should be targeted, avoiding unnecessary investigations; endoscopy selectively used.
- Nutritional optimisation and feeding therapy are key to improving outcomes and care efficiency.
29 Apr, 26Diabetes Care.
- Link between central obesity [waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) ≥0.5] & CAD across albuminuria categories was assessed in 4349 T1DM patients
- 664 CAD events (15.3%) occurred over 19 yrs, the 10- & 20y cumulative CAD incidence was higher in those with vs without central obesity (11.6% vs 4.4%, & 25.3% vs 9.9%)
- The HR for CAD per 0.1-unit WHtR raise was 1.21 overall & 1.26 in those without albuminuria.
