Catheter-directed interventions in acute pulmonary embolism. Position statement of SEC-Interventional Cardiology Association/SEC-Ischemic Heart Disease and Acute Cardiovascular Care Association/SEC-Working Group on Pulmonary Hypertension.
Rev Esp Cardiol (Engl Ed)
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of hospital deaths and cardiovascular issues, with traditional treatments like anticoagulation and surgery being standard options.
- Recent advancements include catheter-directed interventions (CDI), such as thrombolysis, which may quickly enhance patient outcomes, despite limited supporting evidence from clinical trials.
- A joint report highlights the need for rapid response teams, thorough patient evaluation, and collaborative methods to optimize treatment and outcomes for those dealing with PE.
Assessing vocabulary acquisition using a fast-mapping task in an Android application: A pilot study.
Int J Speech Lang Pathol
November 2024
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore whether a fast mapping task embedded in an Android application (FastMApp) is a valid tool to assess referent selection abilities in Spanish-speaking children aged between 18 and 30 months. Traditional assessment tools for lexical development use static quantitative methods that assign children a final score to represent their overall vocabulary level. These methods fail to provide insights into the learning process, despite their potential relevance for clinical and educational purposes.

Here we describe unexpected states of matter that feature biaxial orientational order of colloidal supercritical fluids and gases formed by sparse rodlike particles. Colloidal rods with perpendicular surface boundary conditions exhibit a strong biaxial symmetry breaking when doped into conventional chiral nematic fluids.

- Epilepsia Partialis Continua (EPC) is a complex condition that may respond to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which offers both diagnostic and therapeutic potential.
- A review of literature involving cases of EPC treated with rTMS, alongside two in-house patient cases, highlights the varying efficacy of rTMS in reducing seizure activity.
- Results indicate that while some patients experienced no change, low frequency rTMS led to temporary improvements in seizure frequency and motor function in two patients, suggesting its possible role in guiding further treatment.
infection (CDI) research relies upon accurate identification of cases when using electronic health record (EHR) data. We developed and validated a multi-component algorithm to identify hospital-associated CDI using EHR data and determined that the tandem of CDI-specific treatment and laboratory testing has 97% accuracy in identifying HA-CDI cases.
