Acute stroke management is time-sensitive, making time data crucial for both research and quality management. However, these time data are often not reliably captured in routine clinical practice. In this proof-of-concept study we analysed image-based time data automatically captured in the DICOM format.

Article Synopsis
  • A research protocol outlines a proposed research idea, serving as a formal document submitted for approval from funding agencies, institutions, or journals, which can be particularly challenging for early-career researchers.
  • Key components of a successful research protocol include a specific title, an abstract summarizing the study, an introduction that defines the knowledge gap, a justification for its significance, clear SMART objectives, a detailed methodology, and plans for dissemination, ethics, budgets, and references.
  • This guide aims to provide practical tips and an overview of the necessary steps to help researchers create a compelling and well-structured protocol to secure approval or funding for their studies.

Late-life depression (LLD) is often accompanied by medical comorbidities such as psychiatric disorders and cardiovascular diseases, posing challenges to antidepressant treatment. Recent studies highlighted significant associations between treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and polygenic risk score (PRS) for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adults as well as a negative association between antidepressant symptom improvement with both schizophrenia and bipolar. Here, we sought to validate these findings with symptom remission in LLD.
