This systematic review consolidates the literature on primary extradural meningiomas (PEMs), a rare subset of meningiomas. We describe the clinical features, management strategies used, and treatment outcomes for published cases. A systematic review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines across multiple databases to 29 July 2024.

Aims: The aim of this study was to describe the prognostic importance of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) versus right ventricular (RV) dilatation and dysfunction in patients with heart failure (HF) from countries of different income levels.

Methods And Results: We enrolled 17 321 participants with HF from 40 countries. Participants were followed for a median (25th-75th percentile) of 2.

Supramolecular chemistry explores non-covalent interactions between molecules, and it has facilitated the design of functional materials and understanding of molecular self-assembly processes. We investigate a captivating class of supramolecular structures, the guanidinium and hydrogen carbonate rosette layers. These rosette layers are composed of guanidinium cations and carbonate anions, exhibiting intricate hydrogen-bonding networks that lead to their unique structural properties.

Background: Over the course of a clinical trial, irregularities may arise in the data. Trialists implement human-intensive, expensive central statistical monitoring procedures to identify and correct these irregularities before the results of the trial are analyzed and disseminated. Machine learning algorithms have shown promise for identifying center-level irregularities in multi-center clinical trials with minimal human intervention.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on identifying risk factors for stent thrombosis (ST) in patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI, using data from the TOTAL trial involving over 10,000 patients.
  • Out of the participants, 1.54% experienced ST within a year, with factors like prior heart attacks, number of stents, and certain medications influencing risk.
  • The findings suggest that while ST remains a common complication, different predictors exist for ST occurring at different times after the procedure, emphasizing the need for tailored preventive strategies.
