Purpose: Online and offline software products can estimate the maximum skin dose (MSD) delivered to the patient during interventional cardiology procedures. The capabilities and accuracy of several skin dose mapping (SDM) software products were assessed on X-ray systems from the main manufacturers following a common protocol.
Methods: Skin dose was measured on four X-ray systems following a protocol composed of nine fundamental irradiation set-ups and three set-ups simulating short, clinical procedures.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates when it's best to start oral anticoagulants after an ischemic stroke caused by atrial fibrillation, particularly focusing on patients who received thrombolysis or thrombectomy.
- It combines data from two studies conducted between 2012 and 2016, analyzing patients treated with either Vitamin K antagonists or non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants for secondary stroke prevention.
- Among 2159 patients included, the timing for starting anticoagulants was similar for those treated with reperfusion therapies and those not treated, with low rates of stroke or bleeding complications observed within 90 days.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from 1,810 patients, discovering that 20% underwent this bridging therapy, and found that bridged patients had worse outcomes, with a higher rate of ischemic events and major bleeding.
- * The results indicate that bridging therapy significantly raises the risk of early complications compared to patients who did not receive it, prompting a reevaluation of its common use in clinical practice.
The effects of carbidopa and entacapone pretreatment on the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of i.v. administered L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) have been examined in vivo in blood plasma and skeletal muscle extracellular fluid (ECF), in beagle dog, by microdialysis.

The limitations of the method and the interferences from extracts of natural waters are discussed. In the most favourable cases the detection limit is 40 ppM (40 mug/l).
