    Abstract Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Data regarding the relationship between coronary artery disease (CAD) and AF is mixed. It is uncertain if AF directly increases the risk for future coronary events and if such patients are appropriately evaluated for CAD.
    Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on hospitalized patients with NSTEMI and concurrent AF in 2019 using the National Inpatient Sample. In-hospital mortality, rates of diagnostic cardiac angiography, percutaneous coronary intervention, ventricular tachycardiac (VT), ventricular fibrillation (VF), cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, length of stay (LOS), and total hospitalization charges were studied.
    Results: A total of 433,965 patients met inclusion criteria (169,725 females [39.1 %], 307,985 Caucasian [71 %], 51,570 African American [11.8 %], 37,265 Hispanic [8.6 %]; mean [SD] age, 67.9 [6.2] years). 86,200 (19.8 %) patients with NSTEMI had AF, including 32,775 (38 %) female patients before propensity matching. Patients with NSTEMI and AF had increased odds of mortality (adjusted Odds ratio, 1.32; CI, 1.21-1.43; p < 0.001). AF patients were less likely to undergo diagnostic coronary angiography and PCI and had higher odds of VT, VF, cardiogenic shock, cardiac arrest, tracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, increased LOS, and higher hospital charges than those without AF.
    Conclusion: AF was independently associated with increased mortality and serious cardiac complications in patients admitted with NSTEMI.

    Abstract Breast cancer is considered the most dangerous cancer for women, driving the highest number of mortalities in women worldwide. According to the WHO 2020 report, breast cancer showed the highest five-year prevalence in the UAE, among other cancers. This research assessed breast cancer awareness, potential risk factors, screening approaches and practices, barriers to screening, and attitudes toward seeking medical help among UAE women. A cross-sectional community-based study was conducted through a web-based validated questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS version 27. The questionnaire was sent through social media platforms. The eligible completed were 616 responses. This study showed a prevalence of breast cancer of 3.1% among the study population. Regarding Breast cancer knowledge, most of the participants, 65.8% had moderate knowledge, 19% had poor knowledge, and only 7.6% had good knowledge. Breast cancer screening methods were the most recognized section at 76%, followed by knowledge of symptoms and while the least known section was the BC risk factors. Twenty-five percent of respondents had at least one breast cancer symptom. About 37.1% of women aged more than 40 years had never undergone mammography. In potential, most participants and 81.7% were having more than five of the BC risk factors had adequate knowledge about breast cancer with relatively higher knowledge scores for screening methods and symptoms. Participants who received information from healthcare providers or attended awareness events had a higher knowledge score. In contrast, insufficient mammography screening had been revealed. At the same time, potential risk evaluation revealed a high percentage of participants suffering from many potential risk factors.

    Abstract Aims and background: Determine the correlation between cardiovascular risk parameters with serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
    Patients and methods: Blood samples were obtained from 100 AMI patients (aged 40--60 years) admitted to the intensive care unit of our institution from March 2019 to February 2020, and from 40 age- and BMI-matched healthy adults.
    Results: Median IL-6 and hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in the AMI group (P < 0.001), as were fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, triglycerides, and LDLc, while HDLc was significantly lower. In the AMI group, hs-CRP was significantly correlated with BMI (r = 0.531; P < 0.001) and waist circumference (r = 0.448; P < 0.001). No significant differences in hs-CRP and IL-6 levels were observed between male and female AMI patients (5.90 ± 2.0 vs. 6.80 ± 8.2, P = 0.166; 21.23 ± 8.2 vs. 21.06 ± 8.7, P = 0.948, respectively), although IL-6 levels significantly differed between male and female controls (6.64 ± 3.0 vs. 9.74 ± 4.7, P = 0.017).
    Conclusion: IL-6 and hsCRP were significantly higher in the AMI group; however, no correlations with the biochemical parameters were observed. Further research into their involvement in the pathogenesis of AMI is needed.

    Abstract Objective: To establish correlation between serum albumin during early days of ICU admission and risk of death in COVID-19 pneumonia.
    Methods: In this retrospective study, we included 76 patients hospitalized in ICU, who stayed for at least four days with COVID-19 pneumonia, from May 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020 in Lahore Health Care Hospital and Al-Shafi Hospital. Patients were labelled as COVID-19 pneumonia on radiological basis as bilateral 'ground-glass opacity' in lower zones and RT-PCR positive result in nasopharyngeal swab. All patients were oxygen dependent, either on high flow oxygen via non rebreathing mask or invasive positive pressure ventilation support. Serum albumin levels were measured daily from first day to fourth day of ICU admission. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 26 and Microsoft excel 2016.
    Results: Out of 76 patients of COVID-19 pneumonia admitted in ICU who stayed for more than four days, 38 patients expired. The mean age of all the patients was 58.9±12.56 years, 38(50%) of the patients were ≥60 years and 49 (62%) of them were male. On day four of ICU admission, mean serum albumin of discharged patients was 3.83±0.22 g/dl while mean serum albumin level of expired patients was 2.96±0.46 g/dl. Strong negative correlation (r = -767) was found between decrease in serum albumin level and increase number of deaths from COVID-19 pneumonia. Weak correlation was observed between increase in serum CRP and increase number of deaths in the same patients.
    Conclusion: Daily monitoring of serum albumin level of COVID-19 pneumonia patients can be used as a biological marker for monitoring of cytokine storm and risk of death in COVID-19 pneumonia.
