Scaling laws and the left main coronary artery bifurcation. A combination of geometric and simulation analyses.

The geometry of coronary arteries is believed to play the role as an atherosclerotic risk factor on its own. The full characterization of the normal coronary network has been reported in the literature. Reports on the integration of geometry and functional data for normal coronary vessels started to proliferate more recently.

A bacteraemia risk prediction model: development and validation in an emergency medicine population.

Objective: Design a risk model to predict bacteraemia in patients attended in emergency departments (ED) for an episode of infection.

Methods: This was a national, prospective, multicentre, observational cohort study of blood cultures (BC) collected from adult patients (≥ 18 years) attended in 71 Spanish EDs from October 1 2019 to March 31, 2020. Variables with a p value < 0.

Boys-Specific Text-Comprehension Enhancement With Dual Visual-Auditory Text Presentation Among 12-14 Years-Old Students.

Quality of language comprehension determines performance in all kinds of activities including academics. Processing of words initially develops as auditory, and gradually extends to visual as children learn to read. School failure is highly related to listening and reading comprehension problems.

Validation of a predictive model for bacteraemia (MPB5-Toledo) in the patients seen in emergency departments due to infections.

Objective: To validate a simple risk score to predict bacteremia (MPB5-Toledo) in patients seen in the emergency departments (ED) due to infections.

Methods: Prospective and multicenter observational cohort study of the blood cultures (BC) ordered in 74 Spanish ED for adults (aged 18 or older) seen from from October 1, 2019, to February 29, 2020. The predictive ability of the model was analyzed with the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (AUC-ROC).
