- Short course (2–5 d) antibiotics similar to ≥7 d for relapse and reinfection.
- No significant difference in clinical or bacteriological cure rates.
- Adverse events comparable between short and long courses.
- Shorter therapy appears effective/safe; more data needed in infants/recurrent UTI.

- Amongst 1,208 patients with T2DM & hypertension (mean age 58.3; 60.1% male), 42.5% had fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index > 1.3
- Elevated FIB-4 was independently associated with KDIGO 3–4 (high/very high risk) (OR 1.57, p=0.008) & CKD (OR 1.51, p=0.004)
- Even within KDIGO low-risk groups, high FIB-4 correlated with vascular comorbidities (p<0.01)
- FIB-4 may complement KDIGO for early CKD risk stratification.

- Early bilingualism linked to better early aphasia recovery post stroke.
- Greater improvement in NIHSS language scores vs monolinguals.
- Effect independent of stroke severity, lesion size, or treatment.
- Suggests bilingualism confers neurocognitive reserve aiding recovery.
14 May, 26Cardiovasc Diabetol.
- The CHARLS-based study analyzed 5925 CKM stage 0–3 subjects (mean age 57.9), over 9 yrs, 24.8% developed CVD (heart disease; 18.7%, stroke; 8.9%)
- High atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) + low estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) conferred greatest risk: CVD (HR 1.35), heart disease (HR 1.32), stroke (HR 1.59)
- Combined AIP/eGDR modestly improved prediction, aiding early CKM risk stratification.
