Randomized Controlled TrialRoxadustat for the Maintenance Treatment of Anemia in Patients with End-Stage Kidney Disease on Stable Dialysis: A European Phase 3, Randomized, Open-Label, Active-Controlled Study (PYRENEES).
Roxadustat is an orally administered hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor being developed for the treatment of anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This European, phase 3, randomized, open-label, active-controlled study investigated efficacy and safety of roxadustat in patients with end-stage kidney disease on dialysis for at least 4 months. ⋯ Roxadustat was non-inferior to ESAs in maintaining hemoglobin levels in this cohort of patients with anemia of CKD on dialysis for at least 4 months who were previously treated with ESAs. Observed TEAEs were consistent with previous studies.

ReviewApplication of Artificial Intelligence in Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Brief Literature Review.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is defined as a set of algorithms and intelligence to try to imitate human intelligence. Machine learning is one of them, and deep learning is one of those machine learning techniques. The application of AI in healthcare systems including hospitals and clinics has many possible advantages and future prospects. ⋯ AI through machine learning has shown several potential benefits in patients with ACS. From diagnosis to treatment effects to predicting adverse events and mortality in patients with ACS, machine learning should find an essential place in clinical medicine and in interventional cardiology for the treatment and management of patients with ACS. This paper is a review of the literature which will focus on the application of AI in ACS.
