To compare preventive medications against graft failures in coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) patients after a 1-year follow-up. Systematic review with Bayesian network meta-analysis and meta-regression analysis. We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases in February 2023 for randomized controlled trials, comparing preventive medications against graft failure in CABG patients.

Hence, the aim of this study was to examine the association between IPI and GDM using high-quality nationwide register data.
Methods: All women with first and second pregnancies during our study period from the National Medical Birth Register during 2004-2018 were considered.
Purpose: Although infundibular dilatations (IDs) have been thought to be benign anatomical variants, case reports suggest that they can grow and rupture. The aim of this study was to determine whether IDs have a tendency to grow or rupture.
Methods: The study population was collected from the Tampere University Hospital (TAUH) Aneurysm Database.
Background: Non-aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAHs) are thought to have a benign clinical course compared to aneurysmal SAHs. The aim of this study is to report the clinical course and outcomes of non-aneurysmal SAHs in a large single-center study.
Methods: The patients with non-aneurysmal SAHs were screened from Tampere University Hospital from 2005 to 2020.
Objective: The literature on the incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) during pregnancy is lacking. Furthermore, only studies with small sample size have analyzed the impact of TBI during pregnancy to maternal and fetal outcomes. Thus, we aim to report the incidence of TBIs during pregnancy and study the pregnancy outcomes using nationwide high-quality registers.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLenses are always exposed to radiation in brain computed tomography (CT) scans. However, the lens dose can be reduced by excluding lens from scanning area by optimising gantry tilt and scan length. The object of this study is to retrospectively analyse if the optimisation by gantry tilt and scan length have been adequate in the CT scan of the brain, and to prospectively analyse the effect of radiographer training to the quality of the CT examinations.
