Article Synopsis
- Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are intense signals from deep space that last for milliseconds and share some characteristics with pulsars, suggesting they may originate from neutron stars.
- Despite similarities, FRBs like 20221022A display different patterns in their linear polarization position angle (PA), particularly a 130° rotation that aligns with pulsar behaviors, hinting at magnetospheric origins.
- This study rules out short-period pulsars as potential sources for FRB 20221022A, supporting the idea that its unique PA evolution fits the rotating vector model commonly used for pulsars.
Mental health disorders are among the top leading causes of disease burden worldwide and many patients have high levels of treatment resistance. Even though medications offer improvement to some patients, antidepressants are only effective in about half of those treated, and schizophrenia is treatment-refractory in about one-third of patients. One way to combat this disparity is to improve medication development and discovery for psychiatric disorders through evidence-based research.

- Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are brief radio wave signals from space, occurring over milliseconds, and can be seen from billions of light-years away.
- Researchers detected a specific FRB, named 20191221A, which has a periodic separation of 216.8 milliseconds between its components, indicating a potential link to neutron stars.
- The unique characteristics of this burst, including its longer duration and multiple components, suggest that the emission likely originates from within the magnetosphere of a neutron star rather than from more distant regions.
Traditional retrograde intubation consists of tracheal intubation performed over a guide wire inserted into the trachea inferior to the vocal cords and then passed transorally or transnasally. This intubation technique is reserved for patients with a difficult airway when other methods such as blind nasal intubation or video laryngoscopy fail. A guide wire passed blindly in a retrograde fashion, however, is not without its own constraints.

Shared medical appointments (SMAs) offer a cost-effective delivery method for HF disease management programs. However, few studies have evaluated this cost-effective delivery method of HF disease management among Veterans with acute HF.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The use of N-acetylcysteine for the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy has been the subject of numerous clinical trials and meta-analyses. We sought to examine the possibility of a publication bias and whether meta-analyses have magnified any potential publication bias.
Methods: We performed a Medline search and a manual search to identify published manuscripts.
