The concept of CO2 storage relies on the long-term sealing properties both geological trap and wells needed to inject monitor CO2. Well integrity, a classical topic in oil gas industry, is thus critical for performance any complex terms containment. Thanks very low permeability cement (typically less than 0.1 mDarcy); properly cemented well ensures hydraulic isolation between reservoirs layers shallow aquifers. Moreover, such matrix limits cement/ interactions over active period (of order...
The majority of NSTEMI burden resides outside high-income countries (HICs). We describe presentation, care, and outcomes by country income classification.
Since early 2020, different studies have shown an increased prevalence of COVID-19 and poorer prognosis in older adults with cardiovascular comorbidities. This study aimed to assess the impact heart failure (HF) on complications, intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, in-hospital mortality patients hospitalized COVID-19. The CARDIO COVID 19-20 registry includes 3260 a serological diagnosis between May 2020 June 2021 from Latin American countries. A history HF was identified 182 (5.6%). In...
Heart failure (HF) is a highly prevalent and progressive condition associated with significant morbidity mortality rates. Acute decompensated HF precipitates millions of hospitalizations each year. Despite therapeutic advances, the overall prognosis poor. The varying clinical courses outcomes patients this disease may be due to region-specific gaps since most studies are conducted in developed countries, participation Latin American Caribbean countries low. Considering this, Registry...
The inflammatory response associated with COVID-19 varies sex, potentially affecting disease outcomes. Males have a higher risk of complications compared to females, requiring an evaluation differences in severity based on sex. To compare clinical data, biochemical biomarkers, and outcomes among hospitalized patients Latin America the Caribbean (LA&C) sex perform cluster analysis biomarker profiles for both sexes. This prospective, multicenter observational registry made by Inter-American...
Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of hospitalization and mortality worldwide, emphasizing the critical role optimal medical therapy (OMT) in improving patient outcomes. Despite extensive research, most scientific evidence regarding HF gathered studied developed countries, leaving substantial knowledge gaps Latin America Caribbean.

The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) EURObservational Research Programme (EORP) Non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) Registry aims to identify international patterns in NSTEMI management clinical practice and outcomes against the 2015 ESC Guidelines for acute coronary syndromes patients presenting without ST-segment-elevation. Consecutively hospitalised adult (n = 3620) were enrolled between 11 March 2019 6 2021, individual patient data prospectively collected at 287...
The risk minimization of carbon dioxide (CO2) storage relies to some extent on well integrity assurance. While chemical reactions between the constitutive materials wellbore–such as cement–and stored CO2 do not jeopardize efficiency a defect-free cement sheath, reactive flow through an existing pathway in cemented annulus may alter its initial properties, and thus change associated risk. On one hand, will react with rich fluid, be leached away by leaking flow. another under specific...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in adults. Prevention of ischaemic risk with oral anticoagulants (OACs) widely recommended, and current clinical guidelines recommend direct (DOACs) as preference therapy for stroke prevention. However, there are currently no practice or recommendation documents on optimal management OACs patients AF that specifically address adapt to Central American Caribbean context. The aim this Delphi-like study respond doubts may arise non-valvular...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) geological storage relies on safe, long-term injection of large quantities CO2 in underground porous rocks. Wells, whether they are the conduit pumped fluid or exposed to reservoir (observation and old wells) man-made disturbances complex, thus viewed by some as a possible risk factor containment injected CO2. Wells composite structures, with an inner steel pipe separated from borehole rock wall thin cement sheath (∼2 cm) that prevents vertical migration. Both carbon...

Although the cardiovascular (CV) polypill concept is not new and several guidelines state that a CV should be considered an integral part of comprehensive disease (CVD) prevention strategy, there are still some barriers to its implementation in real-world setting, mainly secondary prevention.

Abstract Background About 80% of cardiovascular diseases (including heart failure [HF]) occur in low‐income and developing countries. However, most clinical trials are conducted developed Hypothesis The American Registry Ambulatory or Acutely Decompensated Heart Failure (AMERICCAASS) aims to describe the sociodemographic characteristics HF, comorbidities, presentation, pharmacological management patients with ambulatory acutely decompensated HF America.

Abstract Well integrity is one of the major concerns when assessing containment a geological CO2 storage. Whereas defect-free cement sheaths provide reliable barriers that prevent vertical migration or leakage stored CO2, significant can occur if pathways appear in seal: fluid flow through and alter their initial properties. A simulator has been built to numerically investigate rate rich pathway along cemented annulus. Careful analysis physics characteristic dimensions phenomena allows...

A 10-year-old male vaccinated against varicella had developed left-sided rashes on his thoracic region in single dermatomal distribution, which is consistent with herpes zoster. Although zoster uncommon children, especially the current vaccination regimen, this case report serves as a reminder to consider it one’s differential diagnoses, even immunocompetent, fully immunized pediatric patient.
