The present study and associated meta-analysis shows that 6 hours of bed rest after outpatient cardiac catheterization offers no advantage over 2 hours of bed rest with respect to groin bleeding complications. The occasional bleeding observed occurred shortly after ambulation rather than after discharge.

CDK1-loaded extracellular vesicles promote cell cycle to reverse impaired wound healing in diabetic obese mice.

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) mediate intercellular signaling to coordinate proliferation of cell types that promote re-epithelialization of skin following injury. Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) drives cell division and is a key regulator of entry to cell cycle. To understand the potential of sEV-mediated delivery of CDK1 to reverse impaired wound healing, we generated CDK1-loaded sEVs (CDK1-sEVs) and evaluated their ability to mediate cell proliferation, re-epithelialization and downstream signaling responses in the wound bed.

Limited research has examined the effect of meal composition on sleep. Based on previous research, we hypothesized that a low glycemic index (LGI) drink containing 50 g isomaltulose (Palatinose, GI = 32) would result in more N3 sleep, less rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and better memory consolidation than a high glycemic index (HGI) drink containing 50 g glucose (GI = 100). Healthy males (n = 20) attended the laboratory on three occasions at least a week apart (one acclimatization night and two test nights).

Background: Critically ill ED patients on life support may undergo transition to comfort care as decided by the surrogate decision maker. When several hours are needed for loved ones to arrive and say farewell before initiating comfort care ("delayed comfort care"), these patients require prolonged ED stays or costly intensive care unit (ICU) admissions.
Methods: A novel ED observation unit (EDOU)-based delayed comfort care pathway for ED patients on invasive mechanical ventilation and/or vasopressors was created in 2013 at Stanford Hospital.
Treatment of vision-threatening branch retinal artery occlusion following coronary angioplasty with surgical displacement of embolus.
Retin Cases Brief Rep
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, American University of Beirut, Beirut, Lebanon.
Purpose: To report a successful case of vision restoration and macular reperfusion following branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) using pars plana vitrectomy with undermining the artery off the retinal bed.
Methods: This case report involves a 75-year-old patient who was diagnosed immediately with BRAO following cardiac catheterization procedure. An embolus at the superior retinal artery bifurcation was noted.
Mortality and Length of Stay Implications of Deterioration-Associated Transfer to the Intensive Care Unit over Different Time Frames.

Spacelabs Healthcare, Snoqualmie, WA, USA.
Background: Quality improvement initiatives in the acute care setting often target reduction of mortality and length of stay (LOS). Unplanned care escalations are associated with increased mortality risk and prolonged LOS, but may be precipitated by different factors, including appropriate triage, bed availability, and post-admission deterioration.
Objectives: This work evaluates different transfer timeframes to quantify the impact of deterioration-associated unplanned transfers to intensive care (ICU) on mortality and LOS, informing evidence-based interventions to improve patient care.
