In light of the significant public health and food safety implications associated with , this study aimed to isolate and characterize in samples obtained from broiler chicken retail points in Meghalaya, northeastern India. A total of 280 samples comprising meat, intestinal contents, water, and hand swabs were processed to detect contamination by . The isolates were subjected to toxinotyping, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, and biofilm-forming ability test. The overall occurrence of was 22.5% (17.74-27.85, 95% CI) with the highest recovery from intestine samples (31%; 22.13-41.03, 95% CI), followed by meat (23%, 15.17-32.49, 95% CI) and water samples (18%, 8.58-31.44, 95% CI). Type A was the predominant toxinotype (71.43%, 58.65-82.11, 95% CI), followed by Type A with beta2 toxin (17.46%, 9.05-29.10, 95% CI), Type C (7.94%, 2.63-17.56, 95% CI), and Type C with beta2 toxin (3.17%, 0.39-11.0, 95% CI). Nearly all (95.24%) isolates were multidrug resistant and 68.25% were biofilm formers. The predominance of multidrug-resistant and virulent Type A and Type C in retail broiler meat and intestines in the tribal-dominated northeastern region of India is of great concern from food safety and public health perspectives.

Background: While some research shows that dogs are able to detect lung cancer at above-chance levels using breath samples, the relative utility of other sample types has not been established. We evaluated the comparative utility of human breath and saliva samples for lung cancer detection using dogs.
Methods: Seven dogs assessed breath and saliva samples from 154 patients attending a general respiratory clinic.

Aims: Pre-clinical studies point towards an administration time-dependency of anthracycline-induced cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD). This retrospective study aimed to investigate the association between time-of-day of AC administration and CTRCD.
Methods And Results: Patients from two cardio-oncology outpatient clinics, treated with ACs for any malignancy, were included.

Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is an indicator of high cardiovascular and metabolic risk. This study aimed to investigate the association between EAT thickness (EATT) and liver fibrosis and steatosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Methods: Patients with T2DM and MASLD underwent a complex evaluation, which included clinical, laboratory, and liver and transthoracic cardiac ultrasound assessments.

Background: The incidence of unstable angina (UA), a type of cardiovascular disease (CVD), has increased in recent years. Meanwhile, timely percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures are crucial for patients with UA who also have diabetes mellitus (DM). Additionally, exploring other factors that may influence the prognosis of these patients could provide long-term benefits.

Background: Coagulation disorders are potentially one of the most important pathogeneses of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) following acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). This study aimed to determine whether aortic dissection singularly and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) surgery can activate coagulation pathways, promoting ARDS development in patients with ATAAD.
Methods: A total of 450 patients who received treatment at Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University, between March 2023 and February 2024 were consecutively enrolled in this prospective cohort study.
