Unveiling Pompeii's Tragic End through Elemental Analysis

Elemental analysis performed on plaster casts of victims from the ancient Roman city of Pompeii confirms that asphyxiation caused by inhaling volcanic ash was the likely cause of death. Portable x-ray fluorescence techniques were used to differentiate between the plaster and bones within the casts. The chemical similarity of the cast bones to cremated bones, along with the victims' prone and relaxed positions, suggests suffocation as the cause of death. This study highlights the importance of collaboration and a multidisciplinary approach in understanding historical events and preparing for future volcanic hazards.

Improving Management and Treatment of Heart Failure with Preserved EF.

The American College of Cardiology has released an Expert Consensus Decision Pathway on the management of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The document highlights the need for accurate diagnosis of HFpEF to permit timely implementation of evidence- and guideline-based therapies to improve patient outcomes. HFpEF is a complex condition, often with multiple overlapping comorbidities, including hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and sleep apnea; optimal management requires a multidisciplinary approach. The ECDP lays out a structure for diagnosis, clinical decision-making, management of comorbidities, implementation of the latest guideline-directed medical therapy, and equitable delivery of care.
