Article Synopsis
- In patients with acute coronary syndromes and multivessel disease, immediate and staged complete revascularization showed similar outcomes at 2 years regarding combined health events like mortality and heart attacks.
- A total of 1,525 patients participated, and follow-up data were collected from 97.6% of them.
- The only notable difference was a lower rate of myocardial infarction in the immediate complete revascularization group compared to the staged group, suggesting it might be a slightly better option in preventing heart attacks.
Article Synopsis
- Challenges with sensory information processing hinder children's engagement in school activities, particularly affecting autistic children and those with sensory integration differences.
- The article advocates for the increased application of Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) in educational settings, emphasizing its importance and alignment with education laws.
- It presents evidence for the relevance of ASI in school-based occupational therapy and suggests best practices for its implementation, aiming to empower therapists to better support students' needs.
Article Synopsis
- The BIOMAG-I study evaluated the first-in-human resorbable magnesium scaffold (DREAMS 3G) and showed positive outcomes for clinical results and late lumen loss after 12 months.
- The current substudy looked into vascular healing parameters using optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), focusing on aspects like strut visibility and neointimal growth.
- Results from 56 patients indicated that almost all scaffold struts became invisible by 12 months, with a favorable vascular healing response, including a significant decrease in protruding neointimal tissue.
Athletes with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) experience lesser care for injuries and athletic trainers (ATs) report feeling unprepared to provide care competently for this population. Provision of sports-related care can be impacted by sensory differences associated with ASD such as hyper-reactivity to sensation or poor integration of sensory information. An in-depth review of the literature using the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy (SORT) guidelines was used to identify articles that address the sensory features of autism for athletic trainers with the purpose of informing athletic trainers about the sensory features of ASD and to present the most current evidence-based recommendations for providing care to athletes with ASD and other neurodivergent individuals who present with sensory differences.
