Objective: Cryptogenic stroke (CS) is considered to be the most common stroke subtype in young patients. The Risk of Paradoxical Embolism (RoPE) score is a tool that stratifies patients with CS according to the probability of patent foramen ovale (PFO). The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the prevalence of PFO in young patients with transesophageal echocardi- ography (TEE) and to evaluate the role of RoPE score in PFO-related strokes.
Methods: The medical records of patients with acute arterial ischemic stroke, who underwent TEE between 2016 and 2020, were reviewed. Patients aged 18-55 years were included in the study. Presence of PFO, PFO characteristics, presence of atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) were detected by examining the image records of the patients from the archive system. RoPE score was calculated for all patients as determined in the literature.
Results: Totally, 50 CS patients were included in the study (mean age: 39.6±9.4 years). PFO was detected in 19 (38%) patients and it was the most common cardiac abnormality in CS patients. ASA was detected in 7 (14%) patients. The mean RoPE score in patients with PFO was higher than patients without PFO, although it did not reach statistical significance (7.68±1.1 versus 6.77±1.9 P = .07). Eighteen of 19 patients with PFO had a RoPE score ≥7.
Conclusion: In our study, PFO prevalence in the CS patients was higher than normal popula- tion. In patients with cryptogenic stroke, the RoPE score can help determine the probability of PFO related stroke and which patients should undergo TEE.

To address the issue of efficiently reusing the massive amount of unstructured knowledge generated during the handling of track circuit equipment faults and to automate the construction of knowledge graphs in the railway maintenance domain, it is crucial to leverage knowledge extraction techniques to efficiently extract relational triplets from fault maintenance text data. Given the current lag in joint extraction technology within the railway domain and the inefficiency in resource utilization, this paper proposes a joint extraction model for track circuit entities and relations, integrating Global Pointer and tensor learning. Taking into account the associative characteristics of semantic relations, the nesting of domain-specific terms in the railway sector, and semantic diversity, this research views the relation extraction task as a tensor learning process and the entity recognition task as a span-based Global Pointer search process.

To explore the effects of acute high-intensity interval rope skipping exercise and acute moderate-intensity continuous rope skipping exercise on cognitive function in 9-10-year-old children, this study aims to inform the selection of appropriate jump rope methods for cognitive training in physical activities. A total of 60 students from two classes of fourth grade in a primary school were selected as research subjects. After matching according to gender, they were randomly divided into HIIT group, MICT group and control group.

Background: The transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is the standard imaging modality for confirming the presence or absence of patent foramen ovale. PFO is a flap valve depending on the pressure change between the left and right atrium, which can help determine whether to open. 3D-TEE was shown to optimize the visualization of PFO.

The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the relationship between high school students' willingness to participate in a school rope jumping club, their satisfaction with participation, and their satisfaction with school life. To this end, data were collected from 411 male and female high school students participating in a school rope jumping club in Incheon, and the following results were derived through factor analysis, frequency analysis, -test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple regression analysis. First, male students showed higher scores than female students in all participation willingness factors.

Patent foramen ovale (PFO) exists in 20-25% of the adult population, and about 40% of adults who present with cryptogenic stroke (CS) have a PFO. The benefit of intervention has been debated with regard to stroke prevention given the high risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF). In light of this, clinical decision-making is guided by PFO-Associated Stroke Causal Likelihood (PASCAL) classification and Risk of Paradoxical Embolism (RoPE) score analysis.
