Aim: Monochorionic twins are at higher risk of perinatal mortality and morbidity, primarily due to pregnancy-related complications, such as twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). We aimed to investigate whether amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) signals are different between monochorionic twins with and without TTTS.
Methods: This was a retrospective single-centre study conducted at Innsbruck Medical University Hospital, Austria.
Aims: Pilot studies indicate that immunoadsorption with subsequent IgG substitution (IA/IgG) induces beneficial effects in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and heart failure. This placebo-controlled study investigates whether IA/IgG treatment enhances left ventricular (LV) systolic function as compared to a control group receiving pseudo-treatment.
Methods: This multicentre, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial aims to include 200 patients with heart failure due to DCM (LV ejection fraction [LVEF] <40%) on optimized guideline-directed heart failure medication.
Objective: To translate the Employment Precariousness Scale (EPRES) from Spanish into German (EPRES-Ge), adapt it to the German context, assess the psychometric properties and show prospective associations with mental health outcomes within the peripartum period.
Design: Analyses encompassed descriptive statistics, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to validate the structure of the EPRES, and multivariate regression analyses with mental health outcomes 8 weeks after birth.
Participants: Self-report data from 3,455 pregnant women and their partners within the Dresden Study on Parenting, Work, and Mental Health prospective longitudinal cohort study were used.
Purpose: Oral contraception is one of the most popular contraceptive methods both in adults and adolescents. However, the effects of oral contraception on lipids in adolescents are not well studied.
Methods: Lipid profiles were measured and contraceptive use was assessed in 14- to 19-year-old female participants of the prospective population-based Early Vascular Ageing-Tyrol Study between 2015 and 2018, twice on average 22 months apart.
Article Synopsis
- The study reviews US military fatalities from combat trauma between 2001 and 2021 to identify potential survival-benefitting interventions and improve trauma care systems.
- Out of 388 fatalities analyzed, 100 were identified as potentially survivable, with the majority occurring prehospital and involving severe injuries such as gunshot wounds.
- A panel of medical experts recommended 433 interventions, highlighting blood transfusion as the most critical prehospital intervention and thoracotomy as vital in hospital settings for improving survival outcomes.
