The time interval from the initial symptoms of myocardial infarction to the coronary care unit admission in patients treated at the Department of Internal Medicine, University Hospital "Firule", Split, and Military Hospital, Split, between 1 January 1981 and 31 December 1987, vas analysed. The average duration of this delay was 14.8 +/- 11.6 hours (range 2-72 hours). It is concluded that this interval should be substantially reduced in order to decrease the actual coronary heart disease death rate.

Efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of an investigational maternal respiratory syncytial virus prefusion F protein-based vaccine.
Clin Infect Dis
January 2025
GSK, Wavre, Belgium.
Background: In this phase 3 trial of an investigational maternal respiratory syncytial virus prefusion F protein-based vaccine (RSVPreF3-Mat), a higher rate of preterm birth was observed in the vaccine (6.8%) versus the placebo group (4.9%).

The purpose of this study was to compare accelerometer-measured data with traditional patient-reported measures and to determine the trajectory of physical activity from before surgery to 1 year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Materials And Methods: Adult patients undergoing primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were enrolled in this prospective cohort pilot study.
The Southern Brazilian Registry of Atrial Fibrillation (SBR-AF Registry): Predictors of Atrial Arrhythmia Recurrence after First-Time Catheter Ablation.

Serviço de Arritmia Cardíaca, Hospital SOS Cardio, Florianópolis, SC - Brasil.
Background: Treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) with catheter ablation (CA) has evolved significantly. However, real-world data on long-term outcomes are limited, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.
Objective: This multicenter prospective cohort of consecutive patients aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of first-time CA for AF in Southern Brazil from 2009 to 2024.
Early MRI Can Predict the Indication for Surgery in Brachial Plexus Birth Injury: Results of the NAPTIME Study.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
January 2025
Shriners Children's Northern California, Sacramento, California.
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has not been routinely used for infants with brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI); instead, the decision to operate is based on the trajectory of clinical recovery by 6 months of age. The aim of this study was to develop an MRI protocol that can be performed without sedation or contrast in order to identify infants who would benefit from surgery at an earlier age than the age at which that decision could be made clinically.
Methods: This prospective multicenter NAPTIME (Non-Anesthetized Plexus Technique for Infant MRI Evaluation) study included infants aged 28 to 120 days with BPBI from 3 tertiary care centers.
Effects of intrathecal administration of sodium nitroprusside and nicardipine on cerebral pial microcirculation, cortical tissue oxygenation, and electrocortical activity in the early post-resuscitation period in a porcine cardiac arrest model.

Recent studies suggested intrathecal vasodilator administration as a therapy to mitigate post-ischemic cerebral hypoperfusion following cardiac arrest. We examined the effects of two commonly used intrathecal vasodilators, sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and nicardipine, on cerebral pial microcirculation, cortical tissue oxygen tension (PctO2), and electrocortical activity in the early post-resuscitation period using a porcine model of cardiac arrest. Thirty pigs were resuscitated after 14 min of untreated cardiac arrest.
