Limited value of a patient-reported triage algorithm in an outpatient epilepsy clinic.

Introduction: The hypothesis of this study was that the patient-reported outcome (PRO) triage algorithm may be used as a screening tool to discriminate between patients who do and do not need a visit in the outpatient epilepsy clinic. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the validity of the triage algorithm by comparing it to an assessment made by a neurologist subspecialised in epilepsy.

Methods: A neurologist reviewed the answers to the PRO questionnaires, and, based on the severity of the answers, the neurologist assessed whether or not the patients should be reclassified into another triage colour group.

Exercise Training Stabilizes RyR2-Dependent Ca Release in Post-infarction Heart Failure.

Dysfunction of the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is an almost ubiquitous finding in animal models of heart failure (HF) and results in abnormal Ca release in cardiomyocytes that contributes to contractile impairment and arrhythmias. We tested whether exercise training (ET), as recommended by current guidelines, had the potential to stabilize RyR2-dependent Ca release in rats with post-myocardial infarction HF. We subjected male Wistar rats to left coronary artery ligation or sham operations.

is an opportunistic pathogen: recurrent bacteraemia in an immunocompromised patient without diarrhoea.

Introduction: is attracting increasing interest due to its possible pathogenic properties. Researchers have described cases in which is isolated in stool samples from patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, mostly diarrhoea. The relevance of adding our case to the literature lies in its description of recurrent bacteraemia in a patient without diarrhoea.
