(Press-News.org) Evermed and the American College of Cardiology (ACC) have announced the launch of ACC Anywhere, a new content hub that provides cardiologists around the world with on-demand access to the latest clinical knowledge. The hub contains original content from five conferences including ACC’s 2022 and 2023 Annual Scientific Session, with additional conferences to be added in the future.
Evermed was selected to collaborate with ACC due to its advanced AI-powered recommender engine and its ability to effectively deliver medical education content 365 days per year. In addition, Evermed’s technology will help drive yearlong engagement to ensure that users are able to consume content anytime, anywhere, and take full advantage of all that ACC Anywhere has to offer.
The combination of ACC's premier content and Evermed's modern technology will ensure that cardiologists around the world can stay up-to-date on the latest advances in the field and provide better patient care.
“Education from live conferences is the cornerstone of ensuring cardiovascular care team members are current on the newest research and practices in the field and able to provide the highest quality care to their patients,” said Katie Berlacher, MD, FACC, ACC Lifelong Learning Oversight Committee Chair. “Through our collaboration with Evermed, we’re ensuring that the premier educational content provided by the ACC is available on-demand and accessible to clinicians around the world.”
"We are proud that our technology was chosen by one of the most influential cardiology associations in the world,” said Bozidar Jovicevic, MD, MBA, CEO of Evermed. “Cardiologists are pressed for time more than ever, hence personalized, Netflix-like content curation combined with a modern, intuitive user interface enables them to stay up-to-date despite their busy schedule."

A recent study from Texas Children’s Hospital and Baylor College of Medicine has expanded the clinical spectrum of a new epileptic disorder called Intellectual Developmental Disorder with Macrocephaly, Seizures, and Speech Delay (IDDMSSD) with the identification of the first recurrently affected residue identified in the protein kinase domain of PAK1 protein. The study, published in the American Journal of Medical Genetics: Part A, found potential correlations between how and which organ ...

Nearly one in five American adults has diabetes. But that doesn’t mean the common condition is simple to treat or manage. Diabetes and its complications are the No. 1 cause of kidney failure, adult blindness, and lower-limb amputations. It’s also the seventh-leading cause of death in the U.S. As with so many chronic conditions, diabetes also disproportionately affects the most vulnerable in our communities, further exacerbating existing health disparities.

(03/29/2023) — Resistance to Paxlovid is already evident among viral SARS-CoV-2 variants currently circulating globally, indicating that this stand-alone drug known as a protease inhibitor could soon become less effective in treating COVID-19 infections.
This conclusion was presented in a study published today online in the peer-reviewed journal Science Advances.
This study — conducted by the Midwest Antiviral Drug Discovery (AViDD) Center — shows that drug-resistant variants have appeared multiple times independently in different parts of the world, with regional clusters providing evidence for person-to-person transmission. In ...
“[...] there has been limited research to date on the effect of cellular ‘ageing’, termed senescence, on amyloidosis.”
BUFFALO, NY- March 29, 2023 – A new editorial paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 15, Issue 5, entitled, “Senescence and extracellular vesicles: novel partners in vascular amyloidosis.”
In their editorial, researchers Meredith Whitehead, Marco Antonazzi and Catherine M. Shanahan from King’s College London discussed amyloidosis—a ...
A new analysis shows that, compared to similarly high-income European countries, the US continues to have substantially higher death rates at all but the oldest ages, resulting in more “excess deaths,” and this gap widened during the Covid-19 pandemic. Patrick Heuveline, of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), presents these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on March 29, 2023.
Calculating excess death rates can be useful for comparing mortality between different countries or sub-populations, as well as before and after the onset of a health crisis. Prior research has documented a substantial widening of ...
Ancient 2m-long amphibians swam like crocodiles long before true crocodiles existed, according to a study published March 29, 2023 in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by David P. Groenewald of the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa and colleagues.
During the Late Permian Period, just over 250 million years ago, South Africa was home to rhinesuchid temnospondyls, large predatory amphibians with bodies similar to crocodiles or big salamanders. These extinct animals are known mainly from skeletal remains, but in this study, researchers ...
