Article Synopsis
- Robotically assisted PCI (R-PCI) is being compared to standard PCI (S-PCI) for treating coronary artery disease (CAD), particularly in light of its relevance during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- A study analyzing data from five studies with 1555 patients found that clinical success rates were similar for both R-PCI and S-PCI, but R-PCI had longer procedure times.
- Additionally, R-PCI showed reduced contrast usage, lower fluoroscopy time, and decreased radiation exposure compared to S-PCI, suggesting it may be a safer alternative despite the longer procedure duration.
This study examines point and non-point sources of air pollution and particulate matter and their associated socioeconomic and health impacts in South Asian countries, primarily India, China, and Pakistan. The legislative frameworks, policy gaps, and targeted solutions are also scrutinized. The major cities in these countries have surpassed the permissible limits defined by WHO for sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, and nitrogen dioxide.
