Implications of the medication regimen complexity index score on hospital readmissions in elderly patients with heart failure: a retrospective cohort study by Asmaa Abdelbary (16400059)

“…A high MCRI score was associated with an initial significant increase in the 90-day readmission rate (odd ratio, 1.03; 95% CI, 1.00-1.07; p < 0.022), but not after adjusting for independent factors (odd ratio, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.95–1.03; p < 0.487). …”

Cafeteria diet-fed mice is a pertinent model of obesity-induced organ damage by Zeeni, Nadine

“…Additionally, consumption of the CAF diet was associated with significantly higher weight gain, abdominal fat, and serum IL-6 levels, as well as more damage in the heart (coronary perivascular fibrosis and steatosis), kidney (chronic interstitial inflammation and glomerular sclerosis), and liver (liver weight, portal fibrosis, apoptosis, and steatosis) compared to the HF diet. …”
