Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how geographic location affects the characteristics and treatment processes of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in southeastern China, comparing coastal, island, and inland areas.
- It analyzes data from over 8,000 AIS patients, finding that maritime hospitals have better access to therapies and shorter hospital processing times compared to inland hospitals.
- The findings highlight notable differences in stroke treatment across regions, suggesting the importance of tailored public health strategies to enhance stroke care and outcomes.
Background: The Peguero-Lo Presti criteria are novel electrocardiographic (ECG) diagnostic criteria for the detection of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and represent the sum of the amplitude of the deepest S wave in any lead with the S wave in lead V4 (SD+SV4). The diagnostic efficacy of the Peguero-Lo Presti criteria in LVH is still debatable. We aimed to test the sensitivity and specificity of the Peguero-Lo Presti criteria and compared them with those of the Cornell voltage index to assess their overall performance in LVH diagnosis.

Herein, we demonstrate high-performance membranes of zwitterionic hydrogels impregnated in porous membranes with a skin layer of highly cross-linked polyamides on both sides prepared by gel-liquid interfacial polymerization (GLIP). Such a configuration eliminates the pores and thus ICP, while the thin polyamide layer provides high salt rejection but negligible resistance to the water transport compared with the hydrogels.
