Disparities in the management of non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in the United States.

Guidelines recommend managing patients aged ≥75 with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) similar to younger patients. We analyze disparities in NSTEMI management and compare those ≥80 years to those <80 years. This is a matched case-control study using the 2016 National Inpatient Sample data of adults with NSTEMI receiving percutaneous coronary intervention with drug-eluting stent (PCI-DES) - one artery or no intervention.

Bacterial brain abscesses are typically spread through a haematogenous route. Open head wounds and neurosurgical interventions are uncommon aetiologies. Ectopic tissue found in the cerebral cortex is usually ascribed almost entirely from carcinomas.
