Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterized by a slow, short-stepping, shuffling gait pattern caused by a combination of motor control limitations due to a reduction in dopaminergic neurons. Gait disorders are indicators of global health, cognitive status, and risk of falls and increase with disease progression. Therefore, the use of quantitative information on the gait mechanisms of PD patients is a promising approach, particularly for monitoring gait disorders and potentially informing therapeutic interventions, though it is not yet a well-established tool for early diagnosis or direct assessment of disease progression.

- - The study aims to compare immediate versus staged percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategies for patients with aneurysmatic right coronary artery (ARCA) during acute coronary syndrome (ACS), analyzing outcomes from 85 patients.
- - Results show that both PCI strategies had similar rates of procedural success and long-term outcomes, but the staged approach led to a higher incidence of bleeding and longer hospital stays.
- - The findings suggest that while both methods are viable, immediate PCI might be preferable due to lower complications and shorter hospital duration.
African swine fever (ASF) is a disease that is a growing threat to the global swine industry. Regulations and restrictions are placed on swine movement to limit the spread of the virus. However, these are costly and time-consuming.

- Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgeries have problems, like grafts failing due to blood clots and other conditions.
- Doctors have been trying to find the best way to prevent these issues while also keeping patients safe from bleeding for over 40 years but still don't have clear rules to follow.
- A review of many studies looked at different medicine combinations to improve patient outcomes and found that aspirin is important, but adding other medicines had mixed results.
Background: PFO (Patent foramen ovale) is a common defect that affects about 25% of the population. Although its presence is asymptomatic in the majority of the cases, the remaining part becomes overt with different symptoms, including cryptogenic stroke. PFO closure is currently a widely available procedure in complex anatomy, with Amplatzer PFO Occluder (APO) being the most commonly used tool.
