Background: The initial cardiac rhythm in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) portends different prognoses and affects treatment decisions. Initial shockable rhythms are associated with good survival and neurological outcomes but there is conflicting evidence for those who initially present with non-shockable rhythms. The aim of this study is to evaluate if OHCA with conversion from non-shockable (i.

- An estimated 4.28% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) cases involve intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), with higher prevalence noted in Asia compared to Europe.
- In the study of over 54,000 patients, females and those with non-shockable rhythms were more likely to present with ICH and had lower chances of survival and achieving return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
- The findings suggest implementing routine early head CT scans in suspected ICH cases, especially for females and those without prior ROSC, to improve clinical outcomes in OHCA patients.
Few studies have documented the effects of fermented milk on intestinal colitis, which are mediated by regulating various microbial and inflammatory processes. Here, we investigated the effects of fermented milk with PS23 on intestinal epithelial cells in vitro and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in vivo. As PS23 grew poorly in milk, a coculture strategy with yogurt culture was provided to produce fermented milk (FM).

Materials And Methods: OHCA cases between 2010-16 in the Pan-Asian Resuscitation Outcomes Study were retrospectively analysed.
