The chest CT should be considered as a diagnostic tool for the COVID-19 screening, comprehensive evaluation, and follow-up and patients would benefit from effective treatments in time.
The acute-on-chronic liver failure associated with hepatitis B virus (HBV-ACLF) was a type of clinical syndrome with rapid deterioration of liver function. It was characterized by short-term elevated bilirubin, ascites, prolonged clotting time, hepatic encephalopathy, organ failures, and high short-term mortality. It was important to predict and evaluate the disease early. This study intended to comprehensively analyze the prognostic factors of patients with ACLF associated with HBV DNA infection through clinical manifestations and laboratory tests, and to establish a corresponding prediction and evaluation model for further clinical guidance.

A total of 220 patients were first diagnosed with HBV-ACLF and admitted to and treated at the Department of Infectious Diseases of the First Affiliated Changhai Hospital of the Second Military Medical University from 2009 to 2018. These patients' records were collected and divided into two groups (1) 120 patients who were improved and discharged were classified as gcting the prognosis of HBV-ACLF. The new prediction model LR(p) had better prediction accuracy than the other three scoring models of MELD, MELD-Na, and ALBI and could more accurately assess the prognosis of HBV-ACLF, but in the later stage, it was still necessary to expand the sample size for verification.Carl Wernicke described the disease bearing his name in 1881 and reported three cases characterized by the presence of mental confusion, ataxia, and ophthalmoplegia. Wernicke's disease is mainly observed in alcoholic patients, due to decreased vitamin intake as a consequence of an unbalanced diet, and a reduction of absorption due to the effects of alcohol. Likewise, inadequate vitamin intake is prevalent in older patients. Wernicke's encephalopathy due to inappropriate total parenteral nutrition (TPN) occurs infrequently; recently, there is an increase in the literature concerning Wernicke's encephalopathy in patients after general and bariatric surgeries. We present two cases of Wernicke's encephalopathy after oncologic gastrointestinal surgery by failure to administer vitamin B1 during TPN; to our knowledge, these are the first two cases of Wernicke's encephalopathy after colorectal surgery for cancer. In our opinion, timely diagnosis and treatment are mandatory to avoid nonfunctional recovery and consequent malpractice legal actions as well as an increase in the health-care costs correlated with the prolonged hospital stay and with the nonfunctional recovery.
According to recent studies, silent atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common cause of cryptogenic ischemic stroke (CIS). 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and 24 h Holter are not efficient to reveal an occult arrhythmic cause of stroke.

The aim of the study was to evaluate 72 h Holter, 7 day Holter monitoring, and intermittent single-lead ECG recording in patients with CIS to identify cases with the arrhythmic cause of stroke in patients with CIS in whom 24 h ECG Holter was free from arrhythmia.

72 patients (aged 60 ± 9 years, 44 males) with CIS and no arrhythmic findings in 24 h Holter were enrolled. All patients had 7 day Holter monitoring and received handheld ECG recorder (CheckMe, Viatom) for ambulatory 30 ± 3 days ECG recording. AF, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT runs of ≥5 QRS), and other arrhythmias were assessed in the first 72 h of Holter recording, in 7 day-recording, and in handheld ECG strips.

72 h-recording revealed AF in four cases (5.6%) and SVT in 18 (25%) cases. 7 day Holter confirmed AF in seven patients (10%) and SVT in 27 patients (37.5%). There was no difference in regards to CHADS2VASc score between patients with SVT and non-arrhythmic group (3.6 ± 1.1 vs 3.4 ± 1.6;
= NS). Symptoms did not correlate with findings. Patient-activated handheld ECG recorders were used with good compliance. The mean number of recordings was 49 ± 30. Except for PACs, there was only one case of AF documented in 3,531 strips.

7 day Holter performs better than 72 h and reveals supraventricular arrhythmias in every third and AF in 10% of CIS patients who were free from arrhythmia in 24 h ECG monitoring. 30 day intermittent ECG monitor does not yield diagnostic value in CIS.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the leading cause of liver disease worldwide, and no effective treatment exists until now. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are becoming the preferred therapeutic option for the management of obesity and are becoming the preferred treatment options for the management of both NAFLD and type 2 diabetes mellitus, but the molecular mechanisms are still unclear.

Forty-five healthy male Wistar rats were divided into three groups normal control, high-fat diet (HFD) group, HFD + liraglutide (100 mg/kg body weight) group. Biochemical parameters and adipokine levels were examined in the serum of rats. In order to judge the degree of steatosis of NAFLD, the magnetic resonance imaging and histopathology of the liver were also studied.

Liraglutide caused a significant decrease in the serum fasting glucose and improved the insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and liver enzymes. It reduced the adipokine level, and alleviated the histopathology of liver of rats in the steatosis, ballooning, and lobular inflammation when compared to the HFD group. Thus, liraglutide demonstrated amelioration of NAFLD by decreasing the adipokine levels in this animal model and seems to be a promising molecule for the management of NAFLD.
