Letter ReviewThe definition of long COVID used in interventional studies.
There has been little consensus for a specific definition of long COVID, though several organizations have created varying ones. We sought to examine the definition of long COVID used in ongoing clinical trials. ⋯ Standardized definitions of long COVID should be applied in studies assessing this condition to unify and harmonize research on this topic.

Modified Rapid Emergency Medicine Score-Lactate (mREMS-L) performance to screen non-anticipated 30-day related-mortality in Emergency Department.
The aim of this study was to compare the ability to predict 30-day in-hospital mortality of lactate versus the modified Rapid Emergency Medicine Score (mREMS) versus the arithmetic sum of the mREMS plus the numerical value of lactate (mREMS-L). ⋯ The new score generated, mREMS-L, obtained better statistical results than its components (mREMS and lactate) separately.

Sauna bathing, renal function and chronic kidney disease: cross-sectional and longitudinal findings from the KIHD study.
It is uncertain if passive heat therapies are associated with adverse renal outcomes. We sought to evaluate the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of the frequency of sauna bathing with renal function measures and chronic kidney disease (CKD). ⋯ Cross-sectional and longitudinal observational evidence suggests that frequent sauna bathing is not associated with impaired renal function or the future risk of CKD.
