Article Synopsis
  • The National Chest Pain Center Program (NCPCP) in China aims to improve care for patients with acute chest pain, but its effects on acute aortic dissection (AAD) patients were unknown.
  • A study analyzed data from 40,848 AAD patients over six years, comparing outcomes before and after CPC accreditation across various Chinese hospitals.
  • Results showed post-accreditation led to lower in-hospital mortality and misdiagnosis rates, along with increased surgeries for Stanford type A AAD, indicating improved patient outcomes associated with CPC accreditation.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study analyzed data from over 10,000 pregnant women, categorizing their BP into optimal, normal, and high-normal ranges before 20 weeks of gestation, and found a concerning incidence of hypertensive disorders.
  • * Women with high-normal BP had a 445% higher risk of developing hypertensive disorders compared to those with optimal BP, highlighting the importance of monitoring BP levels in early pregnancy to identify at-risk individuals.

Objective: To investigate the pathological change in Echinococcus granulosus hydatid cysts treated with high intensity focus ultrasound (HIFU).

Methods: Thirty cysts with thinner wall and proper elasticity, taken from livers of infected sheep, were randomly divided into three groups. By cyclical multilayer radiation around the cyst wall, two experiment groups were treated with HIFU under 150 W and 250 W sound power respectively.
