Background: Few prediction models for individuals with early-stage out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) have undergone external validation. This study aimed to externally validate updated prediction models for OHCA outcomes using a large nationwide dataset.
Methods And Results: We performed a secondary analysis of the JAAM-OHCA (Comprehensive Registry of In-Hospital Intensive Care for Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Survival and the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest) registry.
Non-linear association between the time required to reaching temperature targets and the neurological outcome in patients undergoing targeted temperature management after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: Observational multicentre cohort study.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how long it takes to reach temperature targets during targeted temperature management for patients who experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest and how this affects their neurological outcomes one month later.
- Researchers analyzed data from 473 patients transported to hospitals in Osaka, Japan, focusing on their neurological status assessed by the Cerebral Performance Category scale one month after the incident.
- Results showed that achieving target temperatures faster was linked to better neurological outcomes, with the fourth quintile (175.2-352.1 minutes) having the highest percentage of favorable outcomes compared to the other time frames.
Feeble Single-Atom Pd Catalysts for H Production from Formic Acid.
ACS Appl Mater Interfaces
February 2024
Single-atom catalysts are thought to be the pinnacle of catalysis. However, for many reactions, their suitability has yet to be unequivocally proven. Here, we demonstrate why single Pd atoms (Pd) are not catalytically ideal for generating H from formic acid as a H carrier.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of the LESS in identifying the ACL injury risk by examining the correlation between the LESS score and motion patterns on 3-dimensional kinematic analysis.
Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.
Article Synopsis
- ECPR is being explored as a potential life-saving treatment for patients who experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), focusing on how it impacts survival and brain function outcomes.
- The study analyzed data from a large registry, comparing ECPR-treated patients with a control group and considering factors like initial heart rhythm (shockable vs. non-shockable) to evaluate the effectiveness of ECPR.
- Results indicated that ECPR significantly improved survival rates after 30 days, particularly for patients with non-shockable rhythms, suggesting further research is needed to explore its full potential and identify the best candidates for this treatment.
