A total of 51 patients with the subclavian steal-syndrome (SSS) were examined for the clinical picture comparatively to the angiography and ultrasound dopplerography (USDG) data. The clinical manifestations of cerebral circulatory disorders were studied not only in the isolated SSS but also in its different variants realized in association with concomitant lesions of the other branches of the aortic arch. Rarely occurring variants of the SSS were revealed; some of them were discovered for the first time. The types of collateral circulation to compensate for arm blood supply in the SSS were specified using the authors' material. The studies have confirmed that USDG is a fairly informative method of diagnosing the SSS.

Purpose: Pacemaker-related infections are serious complications of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). This case report aims to describe the occurrence of pacemaker pocket infection and recurrent ventricular tachycardia (VT) in a Chinese amateur violinist with sick sinus syndrome (SSS), and to explore the possible connection between occupational habits and the infection, as well as VT.
Methods: A 76-year-old male violinist with a Biotronik Evia DR dual-chamber pacemaker presented with syncope and signs of a pacemaker pocket infection three years after implantation.

Smoking is highly prevalent and persistent among people with mental illness, but implementation of smoking cessation care by mental healthcare professionals (MHCPs) is lagging behind. This study took a broad approach to understanding implementation of stop smoking support (SSS) by MHCPs (N = 220 for main analyses), incorporating background characteristics, psychosocial factors, client factors, and organizational/environmental factors. Variable selection was based on previous work and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.
