Korean autistic persons facing systemic stigmatization from middle education schools: daily survival on the edge as a puppet.

Introduction: Korean autistic persons who have endured an integrated secondary education system have been exposed to school bullying, causing trauma and stigma to them. It also blocks them from entering a tertiary education system and a decent work, resulting in a lower quality of life. However, research on how it affects autistic persons has not yet been conducted in Korea.

Coronary computed tomography angiography vs. myocardial single photon emission computed tomography in patients with intermediate risk chest pain: a randomized clinical trial for cost-effectiveness comparison based on real-world cost.

Aims: To compare the cost-effectiveness of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) vs. myocardial single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in patients with stable intermediate risk chest pain.

Methods And Results: Non-acute patients with 10-90% pre-test probability of coronary artery disease from three high-volume centres in Korea (n = 965) were randomized 1:1 to CCTA or myocardial SPECT as the initial non-invasive imaging test.
