YEARS clinical decision rule for diagnosing pulmonary embolism: a prospective diagnostic cohort follow-up study in primary care by Frans H Rutten, Menno V Huisman, Jeanet Blom, Rosanne van Maanen, Frederikus A Klok, Geert-Jan Geersing, Karel Moons, Hannah M la Roi-Teeuw, Melchior Nierman, Tuur Egbers

“…In the patients categorised as ‘imaging needed’ (n=145), a total of 38 (26.2%) were indeed diagnosed with PE.Conclusions Our study suggests that acute PE can be safely ruled out in 80% of patients by the YEARS algorithm in a primary care setting, while only 20% of patients required referral to hospital care for imaging tests. In those classified as ‘imaging needed’, PE was present in about one in every four patients, demonstrating a high detection proportion.…”

Association of lower-limb strength with different fall histories or prospective falls in community-dwelling older people: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Ringo Tang-Long Zhu, Jenny Jing-Jing Zuo, Ke-Jing Li, Freddy Man Hin Lam, Arnold Yu Lok Wong, Lin Yang, Xue Bai, Man Sau Wong, Timothy Kwok, Yong-Ping Zheng, Christina Zong-Hao Ma

“…Discussions and Conclusion The decline of entire lower-limb power appears a good indicator of prospective falls in community-dwelling older adults. Tests of entire lower-limb power required the cumulative and coordinated contractions of more leg muscles, possibly explaining why they could identify the fallers whereas the RTD or power of a single muscle group could not. …”

Targeting the G-quadruplex as a novel strategy for developing antibiotics against hypervirulent drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus by Maria Sultan, Maria Razzaq, Joohyun Lee, Shreyasi Das, Shrute Kannappan, Vinod Kumar Subramani, Wanki Yoo, Truc Kim, Hye-Ra Lee, Akhilesh K. Chaurasia, Kyeong Kyu Kim

“…In this study, we hypothesized that the G-quadruplex (G4)-binding ligands can be used as novel antibiotics as their binding can possibly downregulate/block the expression of vital genes. Methods To test this, first we screened the antibiotic properties of representative G4-binding ligands against hypervirulent and MDR S. aureus USA300 and determined the in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity; and proposed the mechanism of action by applying various microbiological, infection, microscopic, and biophysicochemical techniques. …”
