Article Abstract
With the great improvement of the education quality of Chinese citizens and the development of the medical popular science, organ donation has been developing unprecedentedly in the past decade in China. Brain death has been widely accepted as a criteria of death in the medical field, but it has not been legislated in China. Chinese experts wrote the "The Implementation and Management Brain Death Judgment (2021)". The main contents involved several issues encountered by clinicians in the process of judging brain death.This paper reports the current situation and focuses on the necessity of the legislation of brain death in China, and analyses the feasibility based on the current situation of organ donation and the public's acceptance of legislation on brain death in China, providing help to accelerate the process of legislation of brain death.

The expression of MALAT1, plasma brain natriuretic peptide, and Tei index in sepsis-induced myocardial injury.
J Cardiothorac Surg
January 2025
Emergency and Critical Care Center, Renmin Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine, Shiyan, Hubei, China.
Purpose: We sought to investigate the expression of MALAT1, plasma brain natriuretic peptide, and Tei index in sepsis-induced myocardial injury.
Methods: The current retrospective analysis focused on 146 sepsis patients admitted to our hospital from February 2021 to March 2023. Based on the presence or absence of myocardial injury, the patients were divided into two groups: the sepsis group (n = 80) and the sepsis-induced myocardial injury group (n = 66).
Clinical implications of cerebral microbleeds in patients who undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Cardiovasc Revasc Med
December 2024
Cardiovascular Center, Anjo Kosei Hospital, Anjo, Japan.
Background: The prognostic implications of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) in patients who undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have not been fully elucidated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association between the presence of CMBs and adverse outcomes post-TAVR.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, we included 124 patients who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging before TAVR.
Rapid response electroencephalography decreases time to seizure diagnosis in pediatric acute care patients.
Epilepsia Open

Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, New York, USA.
Objectives: Pediatric status epilepticus (SE) carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality and can result in neurologic injury. Establishing seizure activity on conventional EEG (cEEG) is essential but can delay treatment of seizures due to technician limitations. Rapid response EEG (rrEEG) device Ceribell and its Brain Stethoscope function can be used and interpreted rapidly by bedside providers with minimal training.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk calculators estimate the 10-year incident risk of myocardial infarction (MI), coronary artery disease (CAD) death, or stroke; however, they lack comprehensiveness and accuracy. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a surrogate marker that may improve risk estimation acumen. The objective of this study was to derive ASCVD risk scores from historical data and determine whether these risk scores are associated with the history of subclinical CAD and CIMT.
