Post-traumatic endophthalmitis in children is most commonly caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, though the dominant species tends to vary greatly between age groups, a recent study has found. Visual outcomes in infected children remain poor even despite prompt treatment.
Early and consistent: Breakthrough results in HFpEF similar to HFrEF
14 Jan 2022;
HFpEF represents a significant unmet need in CV medicine due to
its prevalence, poor prognosis, and the absence of clinically proven
therapeutic options. The EMPEROR-Preserved trial demonstrated the continuous
clinical benefits in cardiorenal outcomes of empagliflozin in adults with
HFpEF, which were consistent with the observations in adults with HFmrEF/
HFpEF in the EMPEROR-reduced trial. The combined results of the EMPEROR
trials establish empagliflozin’s efficacy in heart failure regardless of
ejection fraction – and if approved, empagliflozin would become the first and
only clinically proven therapy to improve outcomes for the full spectrum of
the disease. Therefore, empagliflozin offers a new hope for people living
with heart failure.
