We're deeply disappointed by NICE's decision to remove NHS access to the CAR T-cell therapy Tecartus for people with MCL in England and Wales.
Tecartus can offer a crucial lifeline for people who haven’t responded to other treatments.

Two years in the making - great to see them published.
Alongside the full clinical guideline, there is also a patient version, designed to make the recommendations more accessible for people living with heart failure, their families and carers.

Mrs H, 85, was admitted with a minor illness, corrected, and improving, then became confused on day three. The illness was better, not worse. The clue was on the fluid chart: three days of a hypotonic maintenance drip, run steadily, with no one checking the sodium.
It had fallen to 121. This was hospital-acquired hyponatraemia, caused not by her disease but by our fluids, and it had produced a delirium out of a recovering patient.
We reviewed the fluids, corrected the sodium carefully, and she cleared.
Inappropriate hypotonic IV fluids are a genuine and preventable cause of hyponatraemia and delirium in hospital, especially in older people. If a patient becomes confused while on maintenance fluids, check the sodium and question the bag. We cause this one ourselves. #delirium

Mrs A, 82, was admitted "off legs and confused". A urine dip was positive, a diagnosis of "urosepsis" was written, antibiotics started, and everyone relaxed.
She did not improve. On day three someone finally examined properly: she was dry as a bone, and her chest crackled at the right base. The urine had told us nothing except that she was old and had bacteria in her bladder, as many older women do without it meaning anything.
Rehydration and the right antibiotic for her pneumonia, and her mind came back.
A positive dip in an older person with delirium is not a diagnosis. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is common, and treating it while the real cause hides is one of the easiest mistakes in geriatric medicine. Examine the whole patient before you blame the bladder. #delirium

Noting that a patient is "confused" just isn't enough.
Don't assume any cognitive impairment is dementia - it may be delirium.
A brief conversation with the family can provide critical information.

🫀What drives the development of heart failure?
The new #HFA_ESC scientific statement highlights the broad spectrum of risk factors contributing to #HeartFailure including:
📍Cardiac-kidney-metabolic syndrome
📍Lifestyle factors
📍Cancer therapies
📍Female-specific risk factors
📍Environmental & socioeconomic determinants
Preventing HF requires a holistic approach focused on early identification & management of these interconnected risks

The heart and the kidneys work as a team: when one is affected, the other is too.
⚠️ When the kidneys are not working well, fluid can build up, adding strain to the heart. And when the heart can’t pump effectively, the kidneys may receive less blood. That’s why chronic kidney disease increases the risk of heart failure, and in turn, heart failure increases the risk of chronic kidney disease.
These conditions influence one another. When one worsens, the other often follows. They are connected conditions. As such, care must be connected too.
🩺 Ask your healthcare provider how your conditions and treatments connect.
May is Heart Failure Awareness Month ❤️, led by the Heart Failure Patient Network at @GlobalHeartHub — the international alliance of heart patient organisations. 🌐 Learn more: globalhearthub.org/heart-fai…
