Catheter Cardiovasc Interv
December 2024
Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory of the Cardiovascular Institute, Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, New York, USA.
Background: The role of Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) is still unclear in patients with STEMI undergoing PCI in the current second-generation DES era.
Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the trends and outcomes of IVUS-guided PCI in patients with STEMI.
Methods: We used the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database from 2016 to 2021.

Background: This study investigates the relationship between healthcare professionals' intention to emigrate and their exposure to violence in Turkey, using a quantile regression model. Through this approach, it aims to reveal how healthcare professionals' attitudes toward brain drain vary across different levels of fear of violence, considering factors such as professional experience and income.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed, utilizing a quantile regression model to analyze the variation in brain drain attitudes across different percentiles.
Crit Care
December 2024
Critical Care Department, Hospital Universitario Dr. Peset, Valencia, Spain.
Rapid multiplex molecular syndromic panels (RMMSP) (3 or more pathogens and time-to-results < 6 h) allow simultaneous detection of multiple pathogens and genotypic resistance markers. Their implementation has revolutionized the clinical landscape by significantly enhancing diagnostic accuracy and reducing time-to-results in different critical conditions. The current revision is a comprehensive but not systematic review of the literature.

Background: The objective of this study was to assess the health outcomes for patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with cardiac chest pain after the implementation of an accelerated diagnostic protocol using a high-sensitivity troponin assay (hs-TnI).
Methods: This prospective before-after cohort study used population-based linked health administrative data for adult patients who presented to a Canadian urban ED with chest pain of suspected cardiac origin over a 2-year study period. The primary outcome was ED length of stay (LOS).
Introduction Low testosterone (T) is linked with frailty, which predicts poor postoperative recovery across many surgical procedures. Therefore, low T may impact perioperative outcomes for surgical patients. We sought to characterize the association between low T, frailty, and perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and laser photovaporization of the prostate (PVP).
