Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Before Invasive Coronary Angiography in Suspected Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Background: In suspected non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), this presumed diagnosis may not hold true in all cases, particularly in patients with nonobstructive coronary arteries (NOCA). Additionally, in multivessel coronary artery disease, the presumed infarct-related artery may be incorrect.

Objectives: This study sought to assess the diagnostic utility of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) before invasive coronary angiogram (ICA) in suspected NSTEMI.

Movements after Captive Bolt Stunning in Cattle and Possible Animal- and Process-Related Impact Factors-A Field Study.

Movements in cattle after captive bolt stunning cause problems in the slaughter process and lead to uncertainties in assessing stunning effectiveness. The objective of this study was to categorize and quantify these movements and determine animal- and process-related impact factors, as well as connections to stunning effectiveness and shooting position. In total 2911 cows, heifers, and bulls (dairy, beef, and crossbreeds) were examined (mean age 3.

Growing pains in Danish preschool children: a descriptive study.

This study provides a detailed description of growing pains in young Danish children as standardized diagnostic criteria are needed to avoid misclassifications of other musculoskeletal diagnoses. The study is nested in a cohort study of Danish preschool children. At baseline, parents completed a questionnaire with sociodemographic information.

Rationale and Design of a Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial to Assess Stent Retriever Thrombectomy for Thrombus Burden Reduction in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: The RETRIEVE-AMI Study.

Background: ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is typically caused by thrombotic occlusion of a coronary artery with subsequent hypoperfusion and myocardial necrosis. In approximately half of patients with STEMI, despite successful restoration of epicardial coronary patency, downstream myocardium perfusion remains impeded. Coronary microvascular injury is one of the key mechanisms behind suboptimal myocardial perfusion and it is primarily, yet not exclusively, related to distal embolization of atherothrombotic material following recanalization of the culprit artery.
