Article Synopsis
- The Asian bamboo-feeding leafhopper, Trifida bilobata, has been identified in several European countries for the first time, including Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and Serbia.
- The study provides details on the morphology (physical characteristics) and ecology (habitat and behavior) of the specimens collected in these regions.
- This finding expands the known distribution of this species and highlights its potential impact on local ecosystems.
Background: Several electrocardiogram (ECG) criteria have been proposed to predict the location of the culprit occlusion in specific subsets of patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The aim of this study was to develop, through an independent validation of currently available criteria, a comprehensive and easy-to-use ECG algorithm, and to test its diagnostic performance in real-world clinical practice.
Methods: We analyzed ECG and angiographic data from 419 consecutive STEMI patients submitted to primary percutaneous coronary intervention over a one-year period, dividing the overall population into derivation (314 patients) and validation (105 patients) cohorts.
