Single-lead electrocardiogram Artificial Intelligence model with risk factors detects atrial fibrillation during sinus rhythm.

Aims: Guidelines recommend opportunistic screening for atrial fibrillation (AF), using a 30 s single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recorded by a wearable device. Since many patients have paroxysmal AF, identification of patients at high risk presenting with sinus rhythm (SR) may increase the yield of subsequent long-term cardiac monitoring. The aim is to evaluate an AI-algorithm trained on 10 s single-lead ECG with or without risk factors to predict AF.

Sensory and balance impairments in Special Olympics athletes: An epidemiological study.

Background: Having an intellectual disability increases the likelihood for exhibiting impairments in vision, hearing, and balance. The intersection of these issues has yet to be described in a large cohort.

Methods: By hosting the largest public health database for individuals with intellectual disability, Special Olympics (SO) offers ∼120,000 assessments completed at competitions between 2007 and 2018.

Delayed presentation of traumatic supra- and infratentorial extradural hematoma: illustrative case.

Background: Supra- and infratentorial epidural hematomas (SIEDHs) are a rare subtype of epidural hematoma (EDH), showing expanding bleeding on both sides of the tentorium, and account for <2% of EDHs (Aji, Apriawan, and Bajamal, 2018). These lesions can typically expand and decompensate quickly, making immediate diagnosis and surgical intervention crucial.

Observations: The authors' patient presented >48 hours from a blunt trauma to the right side of the head with progressive vomiting and bruising behind the right ear.

A single center retrospective comparison of post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage between BiZact and Coblator.

Introduction: Over 550,000 tonsillectomies are performed every year. While post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage (PTH) has been studied in the coblator, bovie, and cold steel technique, there is a dearth of studies examining the post-tonsillectomy outcome using BiZact. This study examines the rate of BiZact PTH requiring control of hemorrhage in the OR and assess resident comfort using the device.
