A four-Axis-Method to Evaluate a Part of an Undergraduate Medical Students' Curriculum.

Introduction: The evaluation of programs in faculties of medicine enables them to adequately reach their mission objectives, and social responsibilities and to correct their potential lacune. Few publications have described the process of internal evaluation of a program performed by the organizational members. The authors aimed to describe a practical method called the four-axis method to assess curriculum using a practical example.

ADC measurement relevance to predict hemorrhage transformation after mechanical thrombectomy.

Background: ADC (apparent coefficient diffusion) value has been known to predict hemorrhage transformation (HT) after thrombolysis and recently, after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We aimed to evaluate that utility separately in basal ganglia and superficial territory. We used HT occurrence with or without NIHSS change as primary outcome measures.

LoRaChainCare: An IoT Architecture Integrating Blockchain and LoRa Network for Personal Health Care Data Monitoring.

Over the past several years, the adoption of HealthCare Monitoring Systems (HCS) in health centers and organizations like hospitals or eldery homes growth significantly. The adoption of such systems is revolutionized by a propelling advancements in IoT and Blockchain technologies. Owing to technological advancement in IoT sensors market, innovations in HCS to monitor patients health status have motivated many countries to strength their efforts to support their citizens with such care delivery systems under the directives of a physician who has access to patient's data.

NovidChain: Blockchain-based privacy-preserving platform for COVID-19 test/vaccine certificates.

The COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as a highly transmissible disease which has caused a disastrous impact worldwide by adversely affecting the global economy, health, and human lives. This sudden explosion and uncontrolled worldwide spread of COVID-19 has revealed the limitations of existing healthcare systems regarding handling public health emergencies. As governments seek to effectively re-establish their economies, open workplaces, ensure safe travels and progressively return to normal life, there is an urgent need for technologies that may alleviate the severity of the losses.

Fast Stent Retrieval during Mechanical Thrombectomy Improves Recanalization in Patients with the Negative Susceptibility Vessel Sign.

Background And Purpose: In acute ischemic stroke, the negative susceptibility vessel sign on T2*-weighted images traditionally highlights fibrin-rich clots, which are particularly challenging to remove. In vitro, fast stent retrieval improves fibrin-rich clot extraction. We aimed to evaluate whether the speed of stent retrieval influences the recanalization and clinical outcome of patients presenting with the negative susceptibility vessel sign.
