Importance: Intraoperative handovers of anesthesia care are common. Handovers might improve care by reducing physician fatigue, but there is also an inherent risk of losing critical information. Large observational analyses report associations between handover of anesthesia care and adverse events, including higher mortality.

Article Synopsis
  • The COVID-19 pandemic led to a significant decline in cardiovascular diagnostic procedures in Asia, with procedure volumes dropping by 47% from March 2019 to March 2020, and even more in low-income countries where reductions reached 81%.
  • A worldwide survey by the International Atomic Energy Agency highlighted that recovery began in some regions like Eastern Asia, especially China, between March and April 2020.
  • Changes in practices included the implementation of physical distancing and restricting visitors; however, COVID testing was infrequently conducted, despite being more common in one-third of Eastern Asian facilities.

Article Synopsis
  • This study analyzed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cardiovascular procedure volumes in the U.S. compared to non-U.S. institutions, finding significant declines across both areas.
  • In April 2020, U.S. facilities experienced a 68% reduction in procedures, similar to the 63% decline in non-U.S. locations, but U.S. invasive coronary angiography procedures dropped more steeply (69% vs. 53%).
  • The study also noted more U.S. facilities adopted telehealth and patient screening measures, with volume reductions varying by region—most significantly in the Northeast and Midwest.

Article Synopsis
  • The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of death worldwide, leading to a drastic reduction in procedural volumes globally.* -
  • A global survey revealed that cardiovascular diagnostic procedures decreased by around 42% in March 2020 and 64% by April 2020 compared to the same months in the previous year, with non-invasive tests like echocardiography and stress tests experiencing even steeper declines.* -
  • The impact was more pronounced in countries with lower GDP, where facilities experienced 22% more reduction in procedures and had less access to personal protective equipment and telehealth options, highlighting the unequal effects of the pandemic on healthcare services.*

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses a person named Christoph Ostgathe, where the name and surname are presented in reverse order.
  • It emphasizes that "Ostgathe" should be the surname and "Christoph" the given name.
  • This suggests a focus on correct naming conventions or identity clarification.

Purpose: Providing high-quality care for the dying is essential in palliative care. Quality of care can be checked, compared, and improved by assessing responses from bereaved next-of-kin. The objectives of this study are to examine quality of care in the last 2 days of life of hospitalized patients considering specific aspects of their place of care.

A measurement of the Higgs boson mass is presented based on the combined data samples of the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the CERN LHC in the H→γγ and H→ZZ→4ℓ decay channels. The results are obtained from a simultaneous fit to the reconstructed invariant mass peaks in the two channels and for the two experiments. The measured masses from the individual channels and the two experiments are found to be consistent among themselves.

This Letter presents measurements of the polarization of the top quark in top-antitop quark pair events, using 4.7  fb(-1) of proton-proton collision data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at √s=7  TeV. Final states containing one or two isolated leptons (electrons or muons) and jets are considered.

This paper presents a study of the performance of the muon reconstruction in the analysis of proton-proton collisions at [Formula: see text] TeV at the LHC, recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2010. This performance is described in terms of reconstruction and isolation efficiencies and momentum resolutions for different classes of reconstructed muons. The results are obtained from an analysis of [Formula: see text] meson and [Formula: see text] boson decays to dimuons, reconstructed from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 40 pb[Formula: see text].

A measurement is presented of the [Formula: see text] production cross section at [Formula: see text] = 7 TeV using [Formula: see text] collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 383 [Formula: see text], collected with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Selection of [Formula: see text](1020) mesons is based on the identification of charged kaons by their energy loss in the pixel detector. The differential cross section is measured as a function of the transverse momentum, [Formula: see text], and rapidity, [Formula: see text], of the [Formula: see text](1020) meson in the fiducial region 500 [Formula: see text] 1200 MeV, [Formula: see text] 0.

Article Synopsis
  • The inclusive jet cross-section has been measured in proton-proton collisions at a specified energy level using data from the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, with focus on a 2011 dataset.
  • Jets were identified using a specific algorithm with two different radius settings, and the double-differential cross-section is analyzed based on jet momentum and rapidity within defined ranges.
  • The study compares findings against QCD predictions and includes analyses that can refine our understanding of parton distribution functions by addressing systematic uncertainties and correlations between measurements.

The luminosity calibration for the ATLAS detector at the LHC during collisions at [Formula: see text] in 2010 and 2011 is presented. Evaluation of the luminosity scale is performed using several luminosity-sensitive detectors, and comparisons are made of the long-term stability and accuracy of this calibration applied to the collisions at [Formula: see text]. A luminosity uncertainty of [Formula: see text] is obtained for the 47 pb of data delivered to ATLAS in 2010, and an uncertainty of [Formula: see text] is obtained for the 5.
