Background: Whether a conservative strategy of medical therapy alone or a strategy of medical therapy plus invasive treatment is more beneficial in older adults with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) remains unclear.

Methods: We conducted a prospective, multicenter, randomized trial involving patients 75 years of age or older with NSTEMI at 48 sites in the United Kingdom. The patients were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to a conservative strategy of the best available medical therapy or an invasive strategy of coronary angiography and revascularization plus the best available medical therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • * Results showed that 80% of patients received HF specialist support, which led to higher rates of medical therapy prescriptions at discharge and a lower likelihood of discharge on diuretics.
  • * Patients receiving HF specialist care had better long-term survival rates and lower in-hospital mortality, indicating the importance of specialized care for improving outcomes in acute heart failure cases.

Inductive heating swing adsorption (IHSA) using hybrid adsorbents incorporating a porous material and ferrite nanoparticles holds promise to be a performant, electrified alternative for conventional gas separation. Successful implementation of hybrid adsorbents in IHSA depends on achieving a maximal specific absorption rate (SAR) in the conditions and at the frequency of the induction setup. This paper outlines and demonstrates successful strategies for optimization of the particle composition, tailoring the coercivity and susceptibility of the ferrite particles to optimal performance in a given alternating magnetic field.
