Article Abstract
Introduction: It is debated whether the presence of subclinical hyperthyroidism (SH) constitutes an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This review presents a summary of the literature examining the association between SH and atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction (MI) and cardiovascular mortality.
Methods: A systematic literature search of the PubMed database was performed. Studies were included if they were of observational design, about SH in humans, and had AF, HF, MI and/or cardiovascular mortality as outcome, were published in either Danish or English language and included euthyroid controls.
Results: A total of 33 papers were suitable for inclusion. Thus, 13 papers on AF and five papers on HF were included for review and supported an association between SH and AF and HF, respectively. In all, 14 papers on MI and 15 papers on cardiovascular mortality were included for review; but, overall, they did not support an association between SH and MI or cardiovascular mortality.
Conclusions: Based on our review, current literature supports an association between SH and AF and HF, respectively; but not between SH and MI or cardiovascular mortality.

Department of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Disease, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 521 19th Street South-GSB 444, Birmingham, AL, 35233, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This review examines cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction models relevant to older adults, a rapidly expanding population with elevated CVD risk. It discusses model characteristics, performance metrics, and clinical implications.
Recent Findings: Some models have been developed specifically for older adults, while several others consider a broader age range, including some older individuals.
National Update on Healthcare-Associated Infections in Iran for 2023-Based on the Iranian Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (INIS) System.

Center for Communicable Diseases Control (CDC), Ministry of Health and Medical Education, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) pose a serious threat to healthcare systems. Accurately determining the incidence of HCAIs is crucial for planning and implementing efficient interventions, as they are associated with a wide range of challenges. The objective of this study was to assess and update the incidence rates of HCAIs in Iran in 2023, using data from the Iranian Nosocomial Infection Surveillance (INIS) system, a nationwide hospital-based surveillance program.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains a leading cause of mortality and long-term disability globally, with survivors at high risk of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular events, and post-stroke dementia. Statins, while widely used for their lipid-lowering effects, also possess pleiotropic properties, including anti-inflammatory, endothelial-stabilizing, and neuroprotective actions, which may offer added benefit in AIS management. This article synthesizes emerging evidence on statins' dual mechanisms of action and evaluates their role in reducing recurrence, improving survival, and mitigating cognitive decline.

Background: Acute heart failure (AHF) significantly contributes to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, bearing a substantial socioeconomic burden. While the dynamics of chronic heart failure have been extensively explored in global patient cohorts, comprehensive data specific to AHF remain limited.
Methods: This retrospective, single-center, real-world study comprises hospitalized patients with AHF, admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Vienna, Austria, between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2019.
Management of renal cancer with inferior vena cava extension over 30 years: a bi-centric study.

Department of Urology and Transplantation Surgery, Nantes University Hospital, Nantes, France.
Purpose: In 5-10% of cases, renal cancer extends into the venous system, particularly the inferior vena cava (IVC), which worsens prognosis. This study aims to assess morbidity, mortality, and oncological outcomes of patients treated surgically for renal cancer with IVC extension over a 30-year period, in two experienced centers.
Materials And Methods: This bicentric, retrospective study analyzed patients treated between 1988 and 2020 for renal cancer involving the IVC.
