Background: Syndromic craniosynostosis is characterized by premature fusion of cranial sutures resulting in midface deficiency. Lefort III Distraction Osteogenesis (DO) has emerged as an effective surgical intervention for addressing this complex condition. This case series outlines the outcomes, encountered difficulties, and insights gained through the utilization of Lefort III Distraction Osteogenesis (DO).

Article Synopsis
  • * A total of 7062 patients participated, and the results showed no significant difference in primary cardiovascular outcomes between the colchicine group (9.1%) and the placebo group (9.3%) over a 3-year follow-up period.
  • * Colchicine did lower C-reactive protein levels, indicating some anti-inflammatory effect, but it also caused more diarrhea compared to placebo, though serious infections were similar in both groups.

Background: Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists have been shown to reduce mortality in patients after myocardial infarction with congestive heart failure. Whether routine use of spironolactone is beneficial after myocardial infarction is uncertain.

Methods: In this multicenter trial with a 2-by-2 factorial design, we randomly assigned patients with myocardial infarction who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention to receive either spironolactone or placebo and either colchicine or placebo.

Background: Prehospital transmission of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) to the interventional cardiologist has become the standard of care in many ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) networks but has not been adopted universally. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we assess the effect of prehospital digital ECG transmission in STEMI patients on door-to-device times, first medical contact-to-device times, and mortality.

Methods: We performed a systematic review of all English-language studies in MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL (from inception to July 24, 2023), comparing the effect of prehospital digital ECG transmission to that of no ECG transmission in STEMI patients.
