Article Synopsis
- The NORSCREEN trial aims to evaluate whether self-screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) using a continuous ECG can lower the incidence of strokes in individuals aged 65 and older who have additional stroke risk factors.
- The study involves a randomized controlled trial with 35,000 participants who will either engage in self-screening at home or serve as a control group, with follow-ups lasting five years to assess stroke outcomes.
- Results from the trial may provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of digital self-screening for AF in preventing strokes, contributing to better healthcare practices for at-risk populations.
Objective: Prolonged labor is the commonest indication for intrapartum cesarean section, but definitions are inconsistent and some common definitions were recently found to overestimate the speed of physiological labor. The objective of this review is to establish an overview of synonyms and definitions used in the literature for prolonged labor, separated into first and second stages, and establish types of definitions used.
Data Sources: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Emcare, and Academic Search Premier.
Antibodies, disruptive potent therapeutic agents against pharmacological targets, face a barrier in crossing immune systems and cellular membranes. To overcome these, various strategies have been explored including shuttling via liposomes or biocamouflaged nanoparticles. Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of loading antibodies into exosome-mimetic nanovesicles derived from human red-blood-cell membranes, which can act as nanocarriers for intracellular delivery.

- - Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common but often undiagnosed, leading to serious health risks, prompting guidelines for screening at-risk individuals, which this study examined using digital recruitment in Norway.
- - The pilot study attracted over 84,000 users via social media and other platforms, with 2,118 individuals consenting to participate; out of these, 87% completed a self-screening test, identifying AF in 41 cases.
- - The findings indicate that digital methods are effective for screening and lead to high rates of follow-up care, although potential age and gender biases in participant selection were noted, suggesting the need for larger studies to evaluate overall effectiveness and cost.
Axial vascularization of tissue constructs is essential to maintain an adequate blood supply for a stable regeneration of a clinically relevant tissue size. The versatility of the arterio-venous loop (AVL) has been previously shown in various small and large animal models as well as in clinical reports for bone regeneration. We have previously demonstrated the capability of the AVL to induce axial vascularization and to support the nourishment of tissue constructs in small animal models after applying high doses of ionizing radiation comparable to those applied for adjuvant radiotherapy after head and neck cancer.
