- Lower-leg cellulitis risk is mainly driven by local factors, especially leg ulcers and lymphedema.
- Systemic and lifestyle risks include heart failure, venous disease, diabetes, obesity, smoking and alcohol use
- Immunosuppressants and cancer showed no risk increase.
- Findings highlight the need for diligent wound care, limb drainage, treatment of fungal infections and management of metabolic and vascular comorbidit...

- In 18,467 newly diagnosed diabetes patients (mean age 61), use vs non-use of antidiabetic agents (ADA) lowered CV risk
- Insulin raised risk of stroke (aHR 1.65) & AMI (aHR 2.47), other ADAs vs SGLT2i raised ESRD risk (aHR 3.62–19.16) & mortality (aHR 5.80–66.84)
- Absence of SGLT2i particularly worsened ESRD risk in younger & obese patients, highlighting SGLT2i’s superior renal & survival benefits in early CKM.

- The pooled analysis from INTERACT (n = 10,269) and ATACH-II (n = 1,000) determined the effectiveness of early intensive SBP control in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH)
- Severe hypertensive group had the highest odds of death or disability, regardless of the BP-lowering strategy used
- This study highlights the importance of well-controlled but tailored SBP management strategies after ICH.
16 Apr, 26Clin. Infect. Dis.
- Meta-analysis of 6 studies (8533 cultures) compared arterial catheter–drawn with venipuncture or venous catheter blood cultures
- Arterial vs venipuncture showed similar contamination (2.1% vs 2.3%), with no increased risk
- Compared with venous catheters, arterial sampling had lower contamination (3.1% vs 8.0%)
- In critically ill patients, arterial catheter cultures appear potentially preferable.
