During the COVID-19 pandemic, forecasting COVID-19 trends to support planning and response was a priority for scientists and decision makers alike. In the United States, COVID-19 forecasting was coordinated by a large group of universities, companies, and government entities led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the US COVID-19 Forecast Hub (https://covid19forecasthub.org). We evaluated approximately 9.7 million forecasts of weekly state-level COVID-19 cases for predictions 1-4 weeks into the future submitted by 24 teams from August 2020 to December 2021...

Anthracyclines are pivotal in cancer treatment, yet their clinical utility is hindered by the risk of cardiotoxicity. Preclinical studies highlight the effectiveness of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in mitigating anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. Nonetheless, the translation of these findings to clinical practice remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the safety and potential of SGLT2i for preventing cardiotoxicity in cancer patients, without pre-existing heart failure (HF), receiving anthracyclines therapy...

AIM: This clinical technique aims to retighten intermaxillary fixation (IMF) wires when loosened intra/postoperatively. BACKGROUND: Intermaxillary fixation is one of the most important steps to obtain stable and functional occlusion in maxillofacial trauma. However, IMF wires tend to loosen over time. This loosened wire is generally removed and a new wire is used for IMF. Removal and refixation is time-consuming for surgeon and unconformable for the patient. TECHNIQUE: We recommend a simple technique for re-tightening IMF wires without breakage, with the use of shepherd's crook explorer by making a small circular loop...
