Active Commuting in Brazil: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Proportions.
J Phys Act Health
December 2024
Applied Physiology and Nutrition Research Group-School of Physical Education and Sport and Faculdade de Medicina FMUSP, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, SP, Brazil.
Background: Active commuting benefits both individual and planetary health. Estimating commuting behavior is desirable, although very challenging in large and regionally relevant nations like Brazil.
Methods: This review (CRD42023431054) included observational studies that estimated prevalence of active commuting in Brazil for adults (≥18 y).
Transcatheter tricuspid valve implantation with LuX-Valve utilizing a novel patient-specific virtual and physical simulator: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
November 2024
Research Center Department, Montreal Heart Institute, 5000 Rue Bélanger, Montréal, QC H1T 1C8, Canada.
Background: The rise of transcatheter tricuspid valve implantation (TTVI) therapies represents a major advancement for high-risk patients with severe tricuspid valve regurgitation, offering a safer, minimally invasive alternative to open-heart surgery. However, the low volume of procedures and training highlights an urgent need for skills development and pre-procedural preparation, which simulation can address by enhancing learning and expanding treatment availability.
Case Summary: An 87-year-old woman with permanent atrial fibrillation and symptomatic severe functional tricuspid regurgitation underwent a transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement with the LuX-Valve system.
Competency-based medical education in interventional pulmonology: current state and future opportunities.
Curr Opin Pulm Med
January 2025
Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Purpose Of Review: This chapter examines the evolution and current status of competency-based medical education (CBME) in interventional pulmonology, focusing on procedural skills assessment and training.
Recent Findings: Traditionally, interventional pulmonology training has used an apprenticeship model with case logs and director attestation, leading to inconsistent outcomes due to a lack of standardized curricula. CBME, established to address these issues, relies on outcome-based assessments to ensure trainees achieve necessary competencies.
Targeted Biopsy Is Sufficient for Men on Active Surveillance for Early-Stage Prostate Cancer.
J Urol
January 2025
Department of Urology and Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of California San Francisco, San Francisco, California.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how doctors check for prostate cancer in men who are being watched but not treated right away (active surveillance).
- They found that using MRI to target specific areas usually identified important cancer features, but sometimes regular biopsies (systematic sampling) still found things that the MRI missed.
- Overall, the MRI targeting worked well most of the time (95%), but in a few cases, a different type of cancer was found that needed close attention.
Article Synopsis
- - Bilothorax is a rare but serious condition where bile accumulates in the pleural space, often linked to injuries in the biliary system or diaphragm.
- - A 70-year-old female with liver cirrhosis developed a pleural effusion after undergoing ERCP and biliary stenting, which persisted for 2 months without noticeable symptoms.
- - The patient underwent thoracentesis, revealing 435 mL of bilious fluid, confirming bilothorax, underscoring the need to consider this condition in similar patients.
