Urgent percutaneous coronary intervention in type 2 Wellens' syndrome: A case report of an atypical presentation in an elderly patient.

Traditionally reflecting critical stenosis of the proximal left anterior descending (LAD) artery, Wellens' syndrome (WS) is an electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern of biphasic or deeply inverted T waves in leads V2 and V3. This critical stenosis can progress to an extensive anterior myocardial infarction (MI) if early and appropriate management is not received promptly. The diagnosis of severe stenosis of the LAD coronary artery can be made by using electrocardiographic changes in Wellens' syndrome.

Exploring the equitable inclusion of diverse voices in urban green design, planning and policy development: a scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Despite the increasingly evidenced positive impacts of green space on human physical and mental health, green spaces remain inequitably distributed across different socioeconomic groups. Urban planning and design should prioritise the development and maintenance of urban green spaces, especially for vulnerable and marginalised populations while thinking about protecting them from the effects of green gentrification. This scoping review will explore how the concepts of equity, diversity and inclusion are integrated into the design, the planning and policy development of urban green spaces.

Nonetheless, our understanding of nurses' viewpoints regarding climate change remains limited.

Connected and supported: a scoping review of how online communities provide social support for breast cancer survivors.

Purpose: To (i) assess how and to what extent online communities are used among breast cancer survivors (BCS) as a source of social support, (ii) describe the kind of support BCS access through online communities, and (iii) explore how these communities foster social support for BCS that promotes well-being and reduces the challenges of survivorship.

Methods: We conducted a scoping review. A professional librarian performed a comprehensive search in multiple databases from January 2010 to May 2023.

Understanding the barriers and facilitators of urban greenway use among older and disadvantaged adults: A mixed-methods study in Québec city.

Urban greenways are multipurpose and multi-user trails that provide a range of socio-ecological and health benefits, including active transportation, social interactions, and increased well-being. However, despite their numerous benefits, barriers exist that limit urban greenway access and use, particularly among older and disadvantaged adults. This study addresses a significant research gap by examining the nuanced factors that influence the choices and experiences of these specific user groups in Québec City, Canada.

AI-derived body composition parameters as prognostic factors in patients with HCC undergoing TACE in a multicenter study.

Background & Aims: Body composition assessment (BCA) parameters have recently been identified as relevant prognostic factors for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
