Article Synopsis
- The widespread use of smartphones has led to the development of innovative telemedicine solutions, especially for SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing during the COVID-19 pandemic, which requires contactless healthcare.
- This feasibility study compared traditional healthcare professional-performed testing with a telemedicine-guided self-sampling approach, focusing on practicality, user satisfaction, and economic implications.
- Results showed high user satisfaction in the telemedicine group, with 76% returning samples, higher test completion rates than the conventional group, but at a slightly increased cost; the study indicates the potential for effective data sharing through a mobile app.
: Decompressive surgery is a potentially life-saving treatment in patients with malignant space-occupying cerebellar infarction. However, there is only limited literature on functional outcomes and complications after surgery. Our aim was to establish markers which predict poor outcome.

Background: Malignant swelling is a fatal complication that can occur abruptly in space-occupying cerebellar infarction. We aimed to establish markers that predict malignant swelling in cerebellar infarction.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed data of stroke patients who were treated in our hospital between 2014 and 2020.
Importance: Surgical site infections frequently occur after open abdominal surgery. Intraoperative wound irrigation as a preventive measure is a common practice worldwide, although evidence supporting this practice is lacking.
Objective: To evaluate the preventive effect of intraoperative wound irrigation with polyhexanide solution.
