Time trends of catheter-directed treatment in acute pulmonary embolism in Germany.
Res Pract Thromb Haemost
January 2025
Background: Catheter-directed treatment (CDT) is an innovative treatment for patients with elevated risk pulmonary embolism (PE) to resolve embolus and restore pulmonary perfusion.
Objectives: We aimed to analyse the use and the benefit of CDT in PE patients in Germany.
Methods: The German nationwide inpatient sample was used to include all hospitalizations of patients with PE from 2005 to 2020 in Germany.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the quality of psychiatric discharge summaries (DS) written by the AI ChatGPT-4 compared to those written by psychiatric residents.
- Results showed that human-written summaries were rated significantly higher than AI-generated ones, with statistical significance in most evaluated categories.
- While AI DS did not fully match the quality of human-written summaries, they demonstrated potential for use as templates or starting points that could save physicians time in documentation.
Roots contribute a large fraction of CO efflux from soils, yet the extent to which global change factors affect root-derived fluxes is poorly understood. We investigated how red maple (Acer rubrum) and red oak (Quercus rubra) root biomass and respiration respond to long-term (15 years) soil warming, nitrogen addition, or their combination in a temperate forest. We found that ecosystem root respiration was decreased by 40% under both single-factor treatments (nitrogen addition or warming) but not under their combination (heated × nitrogen).

- The study investigates the significance of cardiac troponin (cTn) levels in predicting mortality in patients with Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), analyzing data from the International Takotsubo Registry.
- It identifies that a cTn increase greater than 28.8 times the upper reference limit signals clinically relevant myocardial injury, correlating with a higher risk of mortality over 5 years (adjusted HR 1.58).
- The findings enhance understanding of patient risk profiles in TTS, emphasizing the need for increased monitoring and follow-up for those with significant troponin elevations.
