Importance: Despite its implementation in several countries, there has not been a randomized clinical trial to assess whether telemedicine in intensive care units (ICUs) could improve clinical outcomes of critically ill patients.

Objective: To determine whether an intervention comprising daily multidisciplinary rounds and monthly audit and feedback meetings performed by a remote board-certified intensivist reduces ICU length of stay (LOS) compared with usual care.

Design, Setting, And Participants: A parallel cluster randomized clinical trial with a baseline period in 30 general ICUs in Brazil in which daily multidisciplinary rounds performed by board-certified intensivists were not routinely available.

Using a customized telescoped stent complex in the percutaneous treatment of a residual superior sinus venosus defect.

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv

The management of superior sinus venosus defects (SVD) via transcatheter covered stent (CS) placement is becoming an acceptable alternative to open heart surgery. Though the medium-term success of this procedure has been described, residual shunting from damage to the covering of the implanted stents, use of stents which are too short and unanticipated shortening of stents may result in immediate or short-term procedural failure. In such cases, placement of a second CS may be required to address a residual defect.

Background: Neuroendovascular procedures can be challenging due to severe angulation of the cervical and cranial vessels. Typical approaches for overcoming this tortuosity involve using multiple telescoping catheter systems to provide proximal support for therapeutic device delivery. Although this approach can be effective, it does have limitations.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) exopolysaccharide (EPS) has good water absorption, high viscosity, good stability, so it was widely used in probiotics fields. In this study, EPS-producing LAB strain Lactiplantibacillus plantarum HDL-03 was isolated and identified. Moreover, the HDL-03 EPS was used as a stabilizer and mixed with AgNO to synthesize a novel nanoparticle AgNPs whose structure and properties were explored.

A hybrid continuum robot design is introduced that combines a proximal tendon-actuated section with a distal telescoping section comprised of permanent-magnet spheres actuated using an external magnet. While, individually, each section can approach a point in its workspace from one or at most several orientations, the two-section combination possesses a dexterous workspace. The paper describes kinematic modeling of the hybrid design and provides a description of the dexterous workspace.
