The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating consequences globally, and the immediate and short-term consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been well described. Although most individuals recover, many endure longer-lasting effects, referred to as long COVID, post-COVID condition, or postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). PASC is composed of a heterogeneous collection of symptoms and conditions that can affect virtually any organ system, with common manifestations including fatigue, cough, malaise, and pain.

In Reply Dr Lang provides thoughtful comments about our study on smoking cessation after treatment failure with varenicline or combined nicotine replacement therapy (CNRT). To the point about using 6 weeks as a defining time point for assessing abstinence, as we noted in the article, 6 weeks, while an arbitrary cutoff in some respects, was chosen because the majority of studies on smoking cessation suggest that most relapse occurs within the first 2 weeks of the target quit date. While it is true... Читать дальше...
To the Editor On behalf of our coauthors, we write to explain errors that we identified in the Original Investigation “Development and Validation of a Risk Score Predicting Death Without Transplant in Adult Heart Transplant Candidates,” published February 13, 2024, in JAMA. Our registry-based study examined 16 905 heart transplant candidates listed from 2019-2022 using data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. We proposed a novel US candidate risk score (US-CRS) for medical urgency... Читать дальше...
To the Editor A recent study provided valuable data in the area of smoking cessation but used the term treatment failure synonymously with nonabstainer and designated treatment failure as 6 weeks of treatment without achieving abstinence. For clinicians and patients alike, it is important to distinguish the difference between lack of abstinence and treatment failure. A reduction in smoking from 20 cigarettes per day at week 0 to 10 cigarettes per day at week 6 is both an accomplishment and a lack of abstinence, but not a failure. Читать дальше...
In the Original Investigation titled “Development and Validation of a Risk Score Predicting Death Without Transplant in Adult Heart Transplant Candidates,” published in the February 13, 2024, issue of JAMA, incorrect data regarding left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) were reported due to a coding error, as described in the accompanying Letter. Correcting this input led to changes in the Abstract, the Results section, the Table, Figures 2-4, and Supplement 1. These errors did not affect the overall... Читать дальше...

The villanelle is a highly structured, repeating and rhymed poetic form believed to have originated as song lyrics to accompany dancing in Renaissance France (from where its name derives). It consists of tercets with the first and final lines of the first stanza repeated in alternating fashion as the final lines of subsequent stanzas. These repeated lines, or refrains, rhyme with each other as well as with the initial line of each stanza; the middle lines of each stanza also rhyme. The enchanting... Читать дальше...
